so here's the scoop: we finally made it to dearborn! like most places i move to, it was flooding when we arrived so i took that as a good sign. we huddled up in a motel for a few days and made craigslist our super best friend. which is how we found the dearest, teensiest, central-air-conditioned 2 bedroom house in town. we triumphed after much heartache, such as the nasty house where a family of birds dive bombed me and covered me in poop. awesome....
