After 4 long days of being in the car we finally made it to beautiful Virginia!! It was a fun drive and the kids did great. I was pretty sick the first 3 days but began to feel better the very last day of course. We rolled into Virginia only experience our first rain storm and a wonderful layer of fog!! So we didn't get to see too much as we drove in but the next morning we saw it all...the tall trees, the green grass, a few flowers blooming and beautiful lakes all over the place! It is breathtaking here. We absolutely love it!! Our house is great minus a few minor flaws behind our neighborhood but you've always got to take the good with the bad. Life is never as perfect as we'd like it to be!!
Since being here in Virginia we've stayed pretty busy. We found out our things would not be here the day we were told they'd be here so we had to go out and get quite a few things for the house. Eva, Jenny's mom, stopped by and brought us a yummy treat, a really pretty plant and a gift card for a restraunt. So thoughtful!! We had our first little get together with some friends. A few guys that Jay served with in Iraq from 2/7 have sinced moved out here to Virginia and one of them had a get together at his home. Jenny and Brian are out here visiting so we all headed over there to spend some time. I met some nice girls and even got to see Miss Nelly!! She lived in 29 as well and is such a joy to be around!!

I guess she's searching for new doggie friends to play with...LOL!!
The night we arrived here it was raining pretty hard. Once we pulled into the driveway I ran the kids into the house and this caught my eye.... Yep, that's a mouse house!!! I kind of stood there for a minute thinking "there better not really be mice here and these people actually gave them a home!!" So I slowly knelt down and opened the door (ready to jump at any minute) only to see the baseboard behind the door!! LOL!! I laughed!! I think it's absolutely cute though and Caiti just loves it!!
So once our stuff arrives here and I stay up all night arranging everything I will post a blog showing our new place! I can't wait to get started on everything so it can start to feel like home in here.
