Settling In....

 After 5 days in a hotel in Idaho,  7 days on the road to travel cross country ( I will post some highlight pics soon),  5 more days in a hotel to find out the moving company messed up our door to door move, quick trip to TN to visit family, back to VA to camp out on our floor for two more days, we are finally settling in in VA!!!!
  To say these past couple of weeks have been an adventure is an understatement!!  I wish I could go into all the details, but I'm so over it that it hurts my head to even think about it!!  It all comes down to the fact that we had HORRIBLE packers this time around.  The house is almost completely set up and I will try to get pictures up this weekend.   We are still missing some things ( bowls, hardware to put the boys bunk beds together, power cord to my treadmill, etc), but we also have about 7-8 more boxes to go through.  I'm really hoping everything shows up, but the way this move has been going who knows how things are going to turn out!
  We really like the area and our neighbors!  Ethan and Rachel have already become really good friends with a boy and girl across the street.  I'm also enjoying the fact that within 10 mins I can get to almost everything I need.....shopping, eating, grocery stores, schools, etc. I have missed that SO much!!  I also got the chance to meet the kids principal and visit their school.  So far I'm really impressed and look forward to when the school year starts to see how things fall into place. The only thing that has been crazy around here is figuring out the best way to get Josh to and from work.  Once we get that figured out things will be great!
  We visited a church this past Sunday and LOVED it!!  From the moment we entered the building until we left, the people were so friendly to us.  The first thing we did was drop the kids off.  I was very impressed with their organization and how much they have invested in the youth of their church.  They have an awesome kids program and our kids had a blast.  When we picked them up from their service they were begging to go back.  That makes me very happy!  After we dropped them off, Josh and I went  to the main service.  We were very impressed. After going back for their Sunday night service and talking to the pastor,  we decided that would be the church for us while we are here.  It had everything we were looking for, plus it is only 10 mins from the house!!

So thankful everything is falling into place and that the kids are all adjusting well!

Until next time,
