Moving...

We had VERY mixed feelings about moving this time. It wasn't a move to a new exotic place, nor a move back to the States close to family that we hadn't seen very much. It was a move within the States, where we had to find our own home that we bought, and figure a lot more out. It was a bit stressful, and I don't really want to ever buy a house again, but most likely we'll have to. 

Pictures I took while we were taking our last taxi ride out of the city. I will miss this crazy busy city!


Always amazed by how close all the buildings were here.

Our One World Trade Tower!

Unique doesn't even begin to describe NYC.

Our last ride, it was sad. 


Anyway, it was hard also because we came to love the city and have fun there. We were looking forward though to have cars to be able to drive to at least one grandparents house. So the time for moving came, and things were hectic but everything got done, like always. 

Preston's ready to go!

We had to get Spencer's old bike out of our buildings storage so we could have it move with us. Preston LOVED riding on it.

When they say they are ready to pack things up...they literally mean UP!

Took our movers one day to pack, and one day to get everything down to the truck (the couch was a HUGE struggle, and I almost had to be prepared to leave without it, but luckily we got it out). 

We were not even sure if we were going to be able to close on the house the day we were suppose to, but thankfully we were able to, and things worked out fine. It was really crazy, because also the night we were closing we had Spencer's first baseball practice for here, and we didn't actually get into our home until after the weekend. A little busy, and I probably went a little mad the first month here, but things are dying down now with the craziness. We are starting to enjoy living here and getting to know people. Spencer is loving school and has already finished up his baseball games! 

It's now official we live in Virginia! (or have been for almost 2 months)
