We have a rental house secured in Herndon, VA, our belongings are on the moving truck, our cars are on the car carrier, we've completed our exit walk-through with our landlord here, and aside from some laundry and packing tonight, we're ready for Virginia. It feels really good to be at this point. It seems like the last several weeks have had so many ups and downs (and honestly, a little skewed toward the downs), and it's a relief to know where we're going and to be mostly ready to be there.
Maybe it's good, in a way, that the past few weeks have been challenging. I've been so busy organizing, packing, conducting lease business over phone and e-mail, etc. that I haven't really had time to be too sad about leaving CO. We really have had a wonderful stay here. Let's see -- some of the highlights:
- Camping (truthfully, cabining) up in the Rocky Mountains with family
- Fishing
- Summer T-ball
- Swim lessons
- Fossil hunting
- Thunderstorms and hail
- Pikes Peak
- Spending time with family and friends who came to visit us
- All the boys' birthdays
- Cave of the Winds
- Dinosaur Museum
- Beautiful parks
- BBQs with David's co-workers
We left the Winter of our Discontent in Buffalo and came here to a Golden Spring and Summer. I know we'll enjoy our time in VA, but I'm sure CO will always be a special place to us.
Please keep our travels tomorrow in your prayers! We will be sure to offer up any frustrations or stresses for the intentions of our family and friends. We'll update you soon after we arrive and get settled in.
