You know when its right!

Guys I just have to tell you, I am so grateful. John and I have been so blessed this year. We really have just been having everything go our way. I guess thats what happens when you do what your supposed to and work hard and never give up on what you truly want.

Within one week of us moving here I have found the most amazing job at the Virginia Spine Institute. It pays better than we could of hoped for, and it is less than 15 minutes from where we are living, AND it is directly across the street from Johns office. Can we say Lunch Date? Speaking of John his job is better than either of us could of predicted it would be too. The benefits are just unbelievable and he loves his office and all his new goodies!

Everything is seriously falling into place so perfectly and I know without a doubt that John and I are right where we are supposed to be here in Vienna. Life is so good. I have no worries, no fears and no doubts.

Virginia Days

Well we have been here for officially 1 week and 3 days! I love it! There is so much to see and do here and It is absolutely gorgeous! So green and sooo many beautiful trees and gentle hilly roads that curve around! Gorgeous houses and awesome grocery stores. Virginia is certainly living up to my expectations!

I just wanted to update some pictures of the going ons of our day to day life this first week! John started his job with SAIC on August 1. He is loving life and loves all the benefits that go with a cush government job! This is SAIC's main head quarters in VA. John did orientation here though his office is closer to home yay!

This last Saturday was Tax Free Shopping weekend! YAY! What is not to love about buying things and not having to pay taxes on them?! So John and I hit up Nordstrom rack for some much needed therapeutic shopping. We picked up some great office clothes for both of us and I picked up this little bonus item. My first pair of Sperry's. And boy do I love them! They are SO comfortable! Tom who?

This next picture just cracks me up! I heard him kind of shuffling around in the bathroom and next thing I know I walk into the bathroom and Carlos has gotten himself stuck in the shower. I have NO clue how he did it but he was totally stuck! It was hilarious. He just kept sniffing our shampoo and body wash!

Rainy Days and Jerky Bags

Well on our last full day of driving across the country we started off in Ohio and made it almost to the Pennsylvania border before it started pouring down rain. And I don't meant just any afternoon heavy rain I mean 60+ mile an hour winds and rain sheets so heavy you don't have a wiper speed fast enough to keep up! This was a horrible storm! The thunder was so loud and close to us that it was rattling the car and John could feel the booms in the gas pedal. The lightning was so frequent and close to us that the hairs on my arms were on end! It was so scary! We finally out ran it and pulled off to get gas. WHEW! But in the 15 minutes it took us to fill up it caught up to us and we couldn't get out of it again. We ended up having to pull off in Somerset, PA and spend the night because it was so bad.

Carlos was freaking out the whole time because the thunder was so loud and the lightening was literally like someone putting a strobe light right in your face! He was so scared and so stressed out the whole time! So when we were in Somerset we had to leave him in the car while we ran into Ruby Tuesdays and got dinner. We left food and water for him in the car so he could he while we did. We were gone maybe 30 minutes? We come back and the poor little guy must have been so stressed out he had eaten an entire super sized bag of Jerky! It was sealed and so he bit his way through the side! It was so funny we couldn't even be mad! Poor guy couldn't poop for 3 days! He is doing much better now that we are getting settled in but I just had to post about that storm cause it was seriously NASTY!

Grizzly Bears and Geyser Pools OH MY!

Right after Johns graduation we had the opportunity to go up to a cabin his family rented in Island park and spend a few nights all together. We went to Yellowstone and the most awesome rodeo ever! We went to Old Faithful, tooonnnsss of Geyser pools, and even spotted some Elks.

Here are some pics from the weekend!

Old Faithful!

Geyser Pools. Grant got a piggy back ride.

They had the yummiest BBQ at this rodeo. It was awesome!

Our niece Emily won the 12 and under Cow race and our Brother-Inlaw won the 12 and over race! We totally came into town and took over the Rodeo.

It was a very nice weekend to just relax before our super long drive across the country to Virginia.

Look at that handsome graduate! I am so proud of my husband. He worked so hard this semester and did so good in all of his classes! He is such an inspiration to me to be better in all that I do. He works hard... plays hard... and it totally pays off! We are so excited to start life here in Virginia! Congrats HUBBY!
