I don't think were in Kansas anymore!

Well, it's been a little while and a lot has happened since then. On September 7 the moving company came to our house and began the packing process. After a very loooonnnng 3 days, our house was empty. I fear that not all of our stuff will have made it in one piece, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! On Friday the 10th, we signed out of our house after living there for 5 years. It was a sad day. Rod came into town on Thursday night to help us drive across the country, which I am extremely grateful for! We spent a few last days in Kansas hanging out with friends and getting ready for a 3 days drive.
On Monday at about 920 we headed out of town :(. It seemed like it took forever to get to Kansas City where we had to stop at Cabela's. It was a blessing that we had to stop because we noticed that the tire on the boat trailer was about to blow. So after getting a new tire, we were on the road again. The first day we drove about 475 miles to Mount Vernon, Illinois. The second day was uneventful at about 400 miles and then the last days was about 400 miles. We were so happy to finally be in Virginia but not so happy to start house hunting.
We were suppose to get a house on post, we were number 1 on the list, but they stopped building houses and didn't have one for us. So we spent our first full day house hunting. I was discouraged and very stressed. The only thing we had really found was an apartment and I didn't care to do that again. The second day was SO much better and will sign a lease tomorrow for a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house with a garage in the country. I am excited and relieved to finally have somewhere to call "home" for the next 6 months! Tuesday the movers come and deliver our stuff and then the fun of unpacking begins :(...anyone want to come help!
Today we were lucky enough to relax and go to Virginia Beach. Jaydn loved the beach and I will post pictures very soon. We also saw a shark, a pod of dolphins, The Blue Angels who were flying in an air show which was amazing, and a helpicopter! It was a great day!
