Memories of VA

Hey friends,
Thanks for visiting my blog!
As you know, (or you would not be at this site) my family made the hard decision to move back to Pensacola, Florida. We are in the process or picking a date of when we will be leaving this wonderful place that I have grown up in for 12 years. Here is a lil flashback of our lives in VA.

In 1997 we moved up here from Florida, and lived with my grandmother in Hanover, till we could get a place of our own. Well, once we found a place, it was a very small apartment, with 2 bedrooms! That was really hard with a 6 year old, 4 year old, and a 2 year old!
We lived there for about a year, then moved to Ashland, where we lived in the amazing house on Ashcake Road, that will always hold the name.... "The Farm House". There we would get lost in the woods and find creeks, go to see the cows that were across the field (they were not ours!). We had our first chickens, making a total of 50 all at the same time! Had mud wars, made a tree house, would catch lightning bugs in the alfalfa fields and put them in the jar, and shot my first gun :D. My cousin, Kaitlin and I found, and hid over 500 bullet shells under my parents bathroom sink, because our dad's told us not to keep them. And the blizzard we had (in beginning of 2000), and we got a foot of snow!....... I could go on for hours about that house! any ways!
We moved from that house in 2001, and moved to Midlothian. That house was small, but we had lots of good times there and sad times! January of 2006, Cally, Kelsey's dalmatian, ran away and got hit by a car...... Then in April, we picked Charlie out!
The Easter of 2006, we moved to Powhatan, and moved into the blue house we are in now........ in June, my black lab/basset hound died of a lot of heath issues, though he was only 7 years old. :( In 2007, we did get 30 more chickens (not as many as last time!) and we had the coolest rooster ever..... King Julian...... (got his name from the lemur on the Madagascar movie). That summer after we got the chickens, we had a skunk or a fox kill 12 chickens, in 1 night. That was upsetting, because all our Silkies (but 1) were killed.
Kelsey and I played sports with CVHAA, most of you might have known that..... we played basketball for 5 years. Finishing out big (in the season of 2007-2008)! Kelsey as a starting forward and scoring over 300 points! And I as team captain and starting point guard, with 83 points! We played soccer as well. Our first year, Kelsey as goalie and me as forward...... and last year, I played forward again.... This year hoping to play 1 more season before I graduate!

Thanks for reading some of our memories in Virginia! WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU ALL!!!!!
