We are official Virginians, not to be confused with virgins, because Virginia is for lovers:) As of yesterday we no longer own a home, yay! But, I cried, because I loved our house, our life in St. Charles, and I miss my friends and family. We are so not miserable here, just haven't made all the important connections yet. God was very gracious to us, as we received a contract and were able to put down a contract on a house here in time for the kids to start school in the correct district. And, I love love love the new house. It has everything we hoped it would, and we can't wait to get into it. The area that it is in is so charming, lots of gorgeous farms, nursery's, etc, but still has a target and Starbucks down the road. It reminds me a bit of the Defiance area, near the old house.
So, we've been bussing them back and forth, which is not so bad, except for my precious little Gabbi who is so, so, so fussy, in a very cute two-year-old kind of way. She has taken to yelling or saying Mommy (as in MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY, etc) the entire way back and forth to school, so I've decided to bring our trusty friend Elmo in video form for the ride. We've had a bit of drama with the type of loan we chose, but we've switched, lowered rates, and are back on track. Life's a bit crazy, and now it seems we might have the stomach flu, but we will survive. I'm glad Brian and I go way back, as it's not always easy to nurture the relationship, but there is so much trust and mutual love and we know it's just a season, and normalcy will return.
In the meantime, Gabbi turned 2!
Bella was in Aunt Brittany's wedding!
Everytime I turn my back this stinker is up to something (like creating murals on the walls). Hoping we get our deposit back.
Hmmm, what can I destroy next?
The kids started school! It's pitch black in our courtyard because school starts at the crack of dawn.
This is our soon to be new home! Credit for the photo goes to the listing agent.
