In Other News...

Again I've failed in the blogging world [*sigh*]. Our house renovation is complete, we are settling into life in Florida, and expecting the arrival of our baby in April!

Jacksonville Again...

The upstairs bathroom is coming together!

What we've been up to....

Hello again. If you're reading this you likely know that we'll be on the move again very soon! I've posted the photos of the house before (which show up REALLY tiny on my web albums for some reason), and below those are the ones taken during our renovation. We are looking forward to completion and hope we will have lots of visitors!

Graduation--woo hoo!

Our next trip was again back to Mississippi to celebrate Houston's graduation from Ole Miss.  It was a crazy trip since US Despairways delayed our flight enough to have to send us through New Orleans to get to Jackson to get to Oxford, but we made it and were happy to see Houston walk across the stage.  Congrats, Hou!

Spring

So...following the cross country move and what seemed like a whirlwind holiday visit to Mississippi and back, we settled into the New Year with a new job for me and a trip BACK across the country for Chad.  Correct...after a ~2 week trip to get here, Chad got back on a plane to do a one month training stint on a carrier based in...the Pacific Northwest!  Fortunately it was pretty short and he was back in time for Valentine's Day.  The next couple of months were busy ones for me as I prepared for ABA board exams...for sure glad that is over.  We were able to make it into a nice trip, though, and see a couple of sights and plays while I was in New York for the dreaded thing.  We also were able to work in a little East coast hiking, a half marathon for Chad, and a visit with my parents to some historic Virginia landmarks!

Movin' On

So...more than a year later, I guess a lot has happened!  For all 1.5 people who are reading this, we've moved across the country to Virginia.  We miss Washington every now and then, especially friends there, but are having a great time being on the East Coast and catching up with old friends.  The photos are a few images on the way out.  We weren't very good about taking photos on the route, but clearly we wore Annie out!  She had a great time meeting Charlie and Calla, and we had a great time visiting Odessa, Weatherford, Frankston, Jackson, Corinth, and Nashville!  Thanks to everyone we were able to visit on the way!  

Numero Uno

This is my first blog entry! After discovering how much fun it was to catch up on friends through their blogs and in an attempt to better photodocument our travels with Chad's job, I've decided to start my own. We are loving life here in Washington these days with a few feet of new snow at the mountains and us both trying to learn to snowboard! I'll spare the description of aches and pains after our first couple of days, but we were happy to avoid broken wrists and get to the blues.
