House search is on!

When we arrived it was very warm, humid, and sunny. We got up yesterday and dressed in preparation for a hot day. About an hour after leaving the sky turned dark and it began pouring. The storm is due to last 48+ hours. It originally was a tropical storm but it was downgraded to just a plain old storm. I guess I should find out what the difference is. We also met with a realtor yesterday and she searched the area and came up with 10 or so available homes for rent. The list quickly got reduced down to 3 houses due to size, area, other factors etc. She gave us directions to see the outside of the homes and told us to call and let her know which we'd like to see in person. The first was in Hazlet, about 10 miles north of Nick's job. The other two are in Ocean Township which is just a few minutes south of his job. I'd like to see the inside of all of them and the agent is working on setting up the appointments for tomorrow night. I wouldn't mind just staying at the Residence Inn. ;-) Not only do they serve a full breakfast but they do dinner too! And we have a "suite attendant" - a fancy term for housekeeper. I won't have a cook and a maid when we find a house.

Oh! We learned something new yesterday (after missing our turn) - they don't do many u-turns or left turns at traffic lights here. Instead, they have "jughandles" in which you veer off to the right and then make a left to turn around. Apparently jughandle is a common term here and used as a verb "Just make a jughandle at Bethany Road"
