Catching up...

WOW! It's been a while since I've posted anything. I thought I'd catch you all up. I've been trying to get Jamie ready for deployment, searching for a place to live in WA, setting the move up to leave CT, and the list goes on...little things but they all add and PILE UP!! Jamie and I just flew to WA to check on the area and search for a place to live. We ended up renting a home. It's plenty big enough, in a beautiful neighborhood, and zoned for a great school...so we shall soon see. The kids and I will leave around Aug 13th and begin our journey west. My mom and dad will be driving up here to join us on that journey. We plan to make a vacation out of it and enjoy it along the way. I can't wait to share that with you later this year. As we were flying into WA it was close to 11p and I couldn't believe how the sky was still lit up. It was gorgeous. The scenery in WA is gorgeous with all the mountain views. I captured the largest mountains in a distance. You'll see pics of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker. Both are a great distance from where we were and that is what's so amazing about those mountains. It looks as if they are just floating in the sky. I ended up capturing Mt. Rainier from the window of the airplane and we think Mt. St.Helens in the background of one...might be wrong but it was breathtaking!!! I also added a pic of the home we will be moving into. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we're about to enter a big change in our life. Jamie leaving for the rest of the year, making a move w/o him, new area, and playing the role as a single parent for a while. Hope you enjoy the pics....
