Quick update

Things have been crazy here lately and I wanted to quickly update things a little bit while I have a chance. We are in the process of moving right now. There are boxes everywhere. We are doing the PODS thing so we are just waiting for some help to come tomorrow before we move everything that will go into storage for the summer into the pod. Then, we will pull a little trailer behind our car with the stuff we're taking with us. Our target departure date is Monday, although we could hold off a day if we had to. The big news is that we are no longer going to Michigan. We will instead be in Virginia this summer because of a change in sales offices. We're excited to see the east coast but not so excited for the even longer drive. We're taking a good-sized detour to see my brother in Wisconsin but we figure it's probably our only chance to go there and visit them. And, it will be good for the kids to have a break in between the legs of the trip. So, that is our news. The next post may be coming from Virginia! Wish us luck with our cross country drive with two young kids! (what were we thinking? :)

I also have to say congratulations to Joe for graduating with his undergraduate degree! He's done! (at least for the summer) And today we celebrated with a lunch at McDonald's. What a treat :). What can I say, the kids were antsy and needed to run around. It didn't help things that it was briefly snowing today.... :(

Wow, Virginia?! What part? My home state...you'll love it, minus the humidity. We'll be just a few hours away, how fun! How long will you guys be there? Good luck with your trip. We may have a similar adventure if I don't get to fly when we move.

Good luck Ashley. What part of VA are you going to be in? We loved living there, it will be a fun place to be for the summer, so much to see. And there are a lot of things to do for free in DC so that is always a plus!

Good luck with the drive! We did it with Abby to Michigan for a summer intership and it went a lot faster then I thought it would. We watched lots of movies!!
