The Hubbards are moving....again

I am going to be the new Social Studies teacher at Floyd County High School. Still in Virginia, I starting to doubt that we will ever leave this place. I think at some point on this blog I predicted us ending up in Floyd one day but I don't think either of us thought it would be so soon.


People have asked me if I ever really loved Roanoke and if I will miss it and the answer is "Nah." There were definitely perks of living within walking distance to most things. I very much enjoyed that. And I love our loft in Roanoke, I wish I could pick it up and take it with me because it is the perfect size for us right now. However, we paid a lot of money to be downtown for 2 people who come home and read every night. But, I certainly have been grateful for the people we have met in Roanoke.

We are currently trying to find a place to live in Floyd County. For those of you unfamiliar with Floyd County allow me to paint you a picture: farms, no cell service, one red light (in the county), two-lane roads. Needless to say we are having no luck online so we are going to have to go straight to the horses mouth i.e. stumbling around Floyd hoping someone will feel sorry for us and let us rent their barn or something.


I could not be more excited. As for now, Ike and I are spending the week in Pound and we are leaving the house-hunting to Drew. Just wanted to share the update. Get ready for me to be back to my old ways: taking pictures of birds and gardens. I think I'll revert back just fine.


P.S. when you live in the city you have to improvise for s'mores.
