I'm Back!!

The husband and I have succesfully moved to Virginia!! However, it has taken awhile to get our household together. We had some trouble finding a place to live. We thought we were going to live on post, but there was nothing available. Then we went looking for a house to rent, but nobody would rent to us for just six months. Finally we found a nice apartment and they did a six month lease! We really like the apartment. It's really quite large, and the complex is very pretty and quiet. After we got our apartment we had to go on the hunt for internet service. That was much more difficult that it should have been. We thought we could just work off of our Ipad, but there is hardly any signal here. That meant we had to get a home phone, because cell phones don't work out here. I think thats really weird for an apartment complex. This is the first time in my entire adult life that I have had a landline. I never saw the point in having both.

It took a week after we "moved into" our apt. to get our household goods. I know I talk about wanting to be less materialisic, and going a month without any of my things was a good lesson in what I can live without it does get really hard when you don't even have a frying pan!! That is the stuff that was the hardest to live without is the kitchen stuff. Sandwiches get old in a hurry and eating out all the time is so expensive. I am very happy to be able to cook meals again.

Now that I have internet I will be back to regularily reading and commenting on all my favorite blogs. I can't wait I have missed reading everyones posts. Here are a few pics from a party that my mom gave for us before she left. While not necessary many people gave us giftcards to restaurants. Those came in VERY useful while we had no cookware. We are very thankful to everyone for coming to the party and supporting us in this next step of our life.
