making it good

moves are never easy.

after saying good-bye to so many friends we deeply cared for and shared our last 4 years with we are now in a new home in a new state sharing new experiences. everything may be familiar to me since these are my stomping grounds, but for my Virginia kids, it’s still not home yet. it’s getting there.

over the past four weeks we have found a lot to love about our new place.

family, friends and beautiful sunshine. they make us smile.

all. the. time.

we also love:

the mariners.

  1. Monica, you are so beautiful!

    Sounds like your family is loving life right now! Glad to see everything is going so well.

    So I am throwing another Cookie Fest party this month in our new ward. It made me think of you so I thought I would let you know. Thanks again for such a fun idea!
