Tybee!

We made it to Tybee! Whew, moving is hard work. I now have even more respect for the many moves my parents have made, and the way they have pulled them off. I have several friends who have moved this year, so hats off to you as well! We put all of our furniture and most of our wedding gifts, kitchen items, pictures, bedding, towels, etc. into a 10x15 storage unit. We also have most of Matt's childhood keepsakes with us, so now they are in the storage unit as well. By the end of the week, it was pretty full. It's amazing how many things we acquire without ever realizing it. We gave some things away to charity and said farewell to Southern Pines Sunday afternoon. This move wasn't quite as emotional as some moves are because we know we are returning to the area around Thanksgiving. Therefore, it was more of a "see ya later" feel, and the excitement of living in a new place - at the beach kept us going! For now we are living in the unit next door to our actual rental townhome. The current renter moves out this weekend, so we will get truly settled next week. I will post pictures once we're in a better spot!

It's beautiful here, we took a walk on the beach last night and I went and caught a few rays today. I'm grateful to be here and excited to see what all is next in this adventure!

Here is a video of the unit. Keep in mind I look like I'm about to cry though I wasn't - just exhausted, from the process and hot from the NC summer. Eek!

Moving Time

We are in the process of moving. It's craziness.

My mom came and helped over the weekend which was great. Jennifer (my sister-in-law) helped Saturday as well. Together we got the kitchen pretty much handled. Mom came back yesterday, so that made packing a lot more fun. Grateful for help and companionship!

Tybee Island...here we come!! Almost, at least!!!!

Norfolk, VA

A few weeks ago we visited VA Beach. Matt had to take a class with the Army Corp so I got to enjoy the pool, and work from a hotel room. On our way out, we stopped by downtown Norfolk. I loved these homes and the neighborhood right close to USS Wisconsin. I'd love to go back to the area and tour the ship, and enjoy even more of downtown. Isn't it cute?!

Classics!

Last night we went to the Carole King/James Taylor - Troubadour Reunion. It was fantastic! Both artists put on a great show, and truly seemed like they were having such a fun time together. We heard many classics, "Shower The People," "So Far Away," "Mexico," "You Make Me Feel," and of course, "Carolina In My Mind." They came back for an encore, and did an extra song at the very end acoustically. Their duet versions of "You've Got a Friend," "Close Your Eyes" and "Up On The Roof" closed the evening on a great note. I love live music, James Taylor and Carole King!!!!
