Our New Home

Last night, we moved into our new home and it is amazing. We are going to be living with our divemaster (and friend), Francis, in his six bedroom home. For the past 3 weeks, we have been house hunting without much luck. Trying to find a decent four bedroom home with aircon in a secure area and easy access to transportation within our price range is just about impossible. To further complicate matters, available homes aren't really advertised on the internet but rather each home owner finds a realtor who will show the house. We were using our friends realtor and saw some interesting houses, to say the least... But God totally provided us with the perfect home that met all of our criteria and more! Our new home is set back in the hills of Lahug barangay and is within walking distance to jeepneys that go all the way to within walking distance of our work. Now we can all live continue to live together and when Matt and Riley's internships end at the end of the summer, a couple of our other friends will be able to move in! We will just be one big happy family. And we have been adopted into Francis' dive family which consists of a group of 5 or 6 divers who, for all intensive purposes, are like family. They are so kind and inviting! I am looking forward to getting to know them more. Here are some pictures of the house:
