Weekend Together!!

Finally the weekend I've been looking forward more than any other in the last 3 weeks. I headed to Springfield, IL to see Andy!!! We had a wedding of one of Andy's fraternity brothers to attend, but most importantly we had some bonding time to make up for after a 3 week seperation. I boarded my flight in Charlotte about an hour late, so I was worried about making my connection to Springfield, but everything worked out great and I was greeted at the gate by my favorite person in the world. We spent every minute of the weekend together and had a blast. It was nice to do normal every day tasks together again. We had a pretty eventful weekend of going to the bank, Target, watching TV and then attending the wedding. The wedding was beautiful and it was nice to see so many college friends again. We had a great time, but mostly because we were together.

Today was not a very happy day as I had to go back to Virginia without Andy. At least this time it will only be 8 days until we see each other again. We're headed to Herscher the weekend of the 4th of the July and it will be a long weekend as we are both taking Thursday off. We just can't wait until the long distance phase is over and we will be together in our new house. Andy is certainly excited also to be done with grad school. Only a few more weeks...I'm so proud of him for working so hard to get done with school in record setting time. Now he just has to find a job in Virigina and we will be set!!

Moving day

Hello everyone. I know its been a while since I've posted, but here are a few updates in our lives. My mom came down the 1st week of June to help unpack the new house. It was quite an experience as apparantly we had way more stuff that we originally expected. 2 guys came to unload all our boxes and were not too happy about the 45 degree angle drive that they had to walk up and down! Finally it was time to start unpacking and about a day into it, the electricity went out for about 30 hours. At this point its like 100 degrees and I'm a little tired of having boxes everywhere, so you can imagine the mood I was in!!! In between unpacking and getting settled, my mom and I explored the town of Salem and Roanoke. We found all sorts of cute antique shops to explore, but our favorite attraction was the Saturday Farmers Market. Andy and I can't wait to make it a weekly regular!! My mom and I had a great week, and I truly wouldn't of gotten anything unpacked if it wasn't for her!!

The new job is going well, it keeps me busy and on the road a lot, but since Andy's not here yet its ok. Its been nice because my new job allows me to spend lots of time with my Aunt Linda and Uncle Jim and their 3 kids; Cole, Luke and Sylvia in Charlotte. Its been nice to have family close by and someplace to stay besides hotels!!! Other than that we are just counting down the days till July 10th when Andy will done with school and officially moved to Virginia!
