What's Been Going On...

Well, a lot has happened since we arrived here in Virginia. Let me start off by saying I absolutely love it here. It is even more beautiful than I imagined and I am sure I haven't even been able to get the full effect of it all. We love our house. Yes, of course there were a few flaws we found when we moved in but thanks to the good Lord we had somewhere to place our feet when we arrived. We are slowly getting settled in. Our boxes just came 3 days ago so we have been extremely busy trying to unpack 161 boxes and put all the furniture in it's rightful place. The kids have been adjusting extremely well and really do like it here. Cory is getting anxious to start school. We arrived just before Spring Break so he got lucky and has had quite a bit of time off from school! In between waiting for our boxes and then receiving them we have stayed busy doing other things. We joined the Johnson family, who was here on their Spring Break vacation, to the Marine Corps Museum. What an awesome place to visit!! We went and saw where Jay would be working and it's very different from any place he's ever worked. Caiti had her first friend over to play the other day. Maddie, who's family also lived in 29 Palms while we did got stationed out here as well. They've been out here a few months longer than us. A great family!! I'm so glad they are here and we are able to connect with them the way we have been! They invited us to attend an Easter Service at a Church they attened. We joined them and then went to their house for lunch and the kids did an easter egg hunt. It was a lot of fun. The kids get along really well. Caiti and Maddie were actually in dance class together in 29 Palms and Cory and Gracie were in the same class at school. We went to dinner with Brian, Jenny, Briana and Andy and Eva (Jenny's parents). We went to an Ale house and really enjoyed the night. Then we went to a BBQ house at their home to say goodbye to The Johnson family. So that basically sums up what's been going on here. There are a few pictures to go along with what you just read...enjoy!
