We made it to Virginia!

It was finally time for our big move to Virginia for Justin to start Med school. It was an emotional move. I miss our families lots and lots, but I know this will be a good experience (right Mom P? :))
Aunt Krystal offered to help us with our move and what a lifesaver she was! She was awesome with the kids! It really was a blessing to have her with us and it was so much fun too. I really loved it but it only makes me miss her more. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KRYS! We really miss you. Love you!
This is a recap of our fun journey across country Kayli and Kaden really miss you!
Just a few hours after we made it to VA, Camille, Erik, McKoy and Little Rylee met us here.
It was so fun getting to see them and it made the scary move a little easier.

This is our new house! Its a duplex and we love it! The kids checking out their new haven
Justin unlocking the door to our new home for the first time..HOW EXCITING!
On our way there we saw a restaurant named Krystal and it was even spelled like she spells it
We had to drive two cars out and I think Justin was getting a little board
We couldn't afford to eat out so this was one of our stops for lunch

We got to stop and see Grandma in Texas. We stayed there for a few days. The kids sure had fun seeing great Grandma and her dog Tazzy.












It was such a fun stop. I'm so so glad we got to see Grandma. Thanks Grandma! We miss you already! This was our scary stop. We stopped in Albequerque for gas and noticed Justin's headlight was out. We just happened to stop in a bad part of town and yes it was scary. Me and the kids locked ourselves in the car while Krystal and Justin risked their lives to change a lightbulb.

Wow, what a post! That is so great that you have made it to VA safe and sound; and now the fun really begins! :) There really is a light at the end of the tunnel; you might not think so at times but it is true I promise. Now at least we are on the same side of the country we will have to get together some time. I know you have always wanted to see Philly right? :)
