The BIG Move

This will be the longest one! Sorry!!
So, most people plan things out in advance. Weigh all the pros and cons and then step carefully through the maze of choices until the main objective is reached. Or maybe not. We fall into the NOT catagory for sure! Nathan and I decided about 2.5 weeks beforehand that we were moving across the country to Virginia!!
What had happened was...he tested for SPD and for some very strange and unknown reason was not accepted. The only thing we can figure is that this was God's plan, because being a part of SPD would have been such a good fit for Nathan. So on to plan B...crap, what is plan B??? Well, they say it's who ya know right? Well, who we know that could help with getting Nathan a job in this super awsome economy happens to live in VA. And that was that.
After deciding that Keagan and I would fly and Nathan and
Adam (friend with job hookup in VA) would drive the car towing a trailer with all our stuff in it, we shipped all of our stuff instead via Fed Ex so that they guys wouldn't have to deal with the trailer and we wouldn't have to ghetto-ize our Nissan Maxima with a tow hitch!
I was slightly nervous to fly across the coutry with my 20 month old son who does not like to sit still for any length of time! Luckily the flight was at night and with the aid of Benedryl it could not have gone smoother! People were super helpful and the boy slept the whole way!! And when he woke up the next morning at the Dulles airport he was happy as could be! Such a blessing after stressing out about it for so long! (I went from Washington State to Washington DC, and from my layover at the Dallas airport to the Dulles airport!)
To make the rest of the last 2 weeks here a short story...Nathan and Adam arrived safely a few days later with the car intact and all the stuff we shoved into it! We are living and mooching off of our very generous friends until Nathan gets the certifications he needs and gets the j.o.b. Keagan has been adjusting beautifully to the new house, new people, his pseudo big sister Charlie and (drum roll please) his big boy bed!!! More about the shopping, bad produce, crazy traffic and other interesting tid bits about VA in following posts! Not to mention updates on the newest addition of our little family who currently resides in my belly!!! lol
Love and Blessings people!!! Miss you!!
