Chapter 4: On Our Way

Bright and early (well for me bright and early, 7:30) we woke up to say our goodbyes. When the many hugs and tears were done, we headed our way to VA at 9am central. With 4 adults, 2 dogs, and 1 cat in one van, it was a rather long day. And thanks to Mr. Hagen for coming down to help dad with driving the 26 foot moving truck!
After many hours on the road, we arrived in VA at 2am central, 3am eastern. What a relief to finally be here... home!

Chapter 3: Packing

Little by little we have been packing since the first of May, but this weekend we really kicked it into high gear. It feels like we just moved, I guess cuz this is the shortest time period we have lived in a house.
It's going smoothly. No problems... yet. Keep us in your prayers as this week is our last week in Florida. We have already stared goodbyes, tears have been shed, but God is good to have given us these friendships these two years. We will miss you all!

A Snapshot from Life

05/13/2011- I love a rainbow after a storm. It reminds me that even though God brings darkness, He has something good that comes from it. "For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness." -Psalm 18:28

The Amazing Guy At the Light

So last night, as Kelsey and I were headed home from Target with the kids, a fun up-beat song came on the radio. Sitting at the light, I thought I would be a little gooffy, and started to raise the roof. Diego didn't do anything, but Kel and Lili joined in the fun. But they weren't the only ones. When the light across the intercetion turned green, the guy that was sitting in the turn lane, started to turn, but also raised the roof. How awesome??

Americano = Yum

For this Tuesday's addiction it is Starbucks' Caffe Americano. I have had it twice in the last week, and love it! Unlike other Starbucks, this one is afordable. It does not have any kind of sweetener in it, it's just espresso. I like to put a little half and half in it, but that's it. And again, unlike other Starbucks drinks, it does not have that oily or smoky flavor like other brews have (as my dad would put it). So for those of you who are like him, you might like this. Give it a try! And I'd love to know what you think, if you agree or disagree. So if you want, feel free to leave a comment.

My Absents....

Lately, my life has been "go, go, go". And finally it seems to be slowing down... for now. Because of that, I have been unable to sit down at my computer, and blog. It's not because I haven't had anything on the mind to blog... I've had plenty!
This is a sum up of what has been going on in my absents;

- March 15th -  my little baby, Snuggs, truned 11. Wow!
- March 18th - We made a weekend trip to Jacksonville.
- March 21st - After being home for an hour from Jax, I left for Atlanta. And did not return till the following Saturday.
- While I was in Atlanta, my phone decided to quite on me. I was very thankful that I was able to leave it plugged in, and it would stay on. The following week I got my iPhone! Loving it!
- April 2nd, saw Sucker Punch with my aunt and sis. Don't see it.
- But also, I've got two words that would sum up half the month.... March Madness!!! It was pretty exciting that VCU and Richmond made it to the Sweet Sixteen, but then VCU made it to the Final Four!!!! How exciting!!!! Very bummed they lost, but was still very thrilled they made it to the Final Four for the first time in school history!

03/18/2011 - You know when you are in the backwoods when there is only one pump at a gas station, and you have to pay inside. (This was the detor during our trip to Jacksonville.... They led us into nowhere and our tank was on empty. Thank goodness for gas stations like this one!)
