Cross Country Move Days 1 & 2

It has been so nice to relax and just sit in the car. John and I are trying to make the most of this time off by seeing friends and family along our journey across the country.

We left Herndon, Virginia behind on Saturday morning and our first stop was to see John's Uncle Doug just outside of town. We had a wonderful visit and then headed to Tennessee for dinner with Joseph and Mariah. It was so nice to hang out with them and catch up on the last few months. (And I did say hello to JMU for you ladies out there!) I'll admit that I don't know if I could live in Tennessee, but it sure is beautiful country! We drove through lovely rolling hills, passed a Christmas tree farm, and saw the most amazing castle-like house. I wanted to take a picture, but we had already passed by the time I got my camera out.

Our next stop was Louisville, Kentucky to visit with Uncle David and Aunt Roxanne, which is always a pleasure. We're excited for Amanda's upcoming marriage and all the happiness that will bring her. And we hope Nicole and Clayton get to experience the DC area and enjoy it as much as we did!

Didn't get any pictures from our first couple of days, which I regret, but I'll have some to share from the next few days!

Almost 3 Months Later...

We are catching our breath after a few crazy months. At this moment we are in transit to Los Angeles, California. John's next rotation is in west Los Angeles and we have said goodbye to all our friends in Virginia to move across the country. John is looking forward to his new assignment and I will continue to work for Booz Allen Hamilton in California.

We were sad to leave Northern Virginia - we really became comfortable and happy there - but we are excited about our new adventures on the west coast. And we get to see a lot of our friends and family on the way!
