Our new neighborhood has a little newsletter that they send out once a month. The three of us wrote a strange little bio as an introduction to the neighborhood. It was going to be published in August, but now I hear they won't put it in until September. We went outside to take a picture for the intro today. Pretty silly, huh? Simon and I are lucky that Dana moved up with us from Moncure. Anyway, here is our little bio prerelease along with the picture!
New To The Neighborhood - An Introduction
Hello neighbors! We moved into 910 Exum St in the middle of June and have been enthusiastically trying to meet everyone ever since we started unpacking boxes. At this point, I believe we have met all of the children on our street (attracted by our talkative chickens no doubt), most of the adults, one brand new baby, and folks from over on Burch Avenue. For those of you who we haven't met, consider this a happy introduction.
We are: Jessica Lobdell – your new local photographer. She photographs weddings, portraits, events, commercial ventures, and nature. Jessica loves gardening, walking her dog Chestnut, and dancing in the kitchen. Simon Lobdell – a wastewater engineer. He works with the City of Durham making sure your water is clean and he also runs his own business called Chatham Environmental Consulting. Simon likes to take care of his chickens, watch SciFi flicks, discuss the exploration of Mars, and he is an excellent cook. You may have met him during the neighborhood park construction. Jessica and Simon met on the Appalachian Trail, were married last year, and are in the process of living happily ever after. Dana Villalas – postpartum/newborn nurse extraordinaire. Dana works for Durham Connects which gives new mothers a chance to talk with a nurse once they are home from the hospital with their new baby. Dana loves to swim in the Eno, dream about working with Mayan midwives, and laugh to her heart's content. The three of us lived together in Moncure in an intentional community called Oilseed. Since moving "North" to Durham, we are pleased that the Burch Avenue neighborhood leans towards friendliness and community and are excited to become a part of the neighborhood.
Simon and Jessica have started a blog about our new life here in Durham called Our Little Bungalow: http://loveourbungalow.blogspot.com. You can follow stories about our home improvements, our dog, our friends and our life. While you're online, check out: www.jessicalobdell.com to see the photography work that Jessica does.
If you see us on our front porch or out in the garden, please say hello! Thanks to all who have been so kind thus far and we can't wait to meet the rest of you!
