Hey everyone! I know its been a long time since my last blog...I've been INCREDIBLY busy with everything. It is now official! I officially live at the beach!! 3 miles from the oceanfront! Lee is buying us bicycles (complete with banana handlebars)to ride to the beach this spring and summer! We are in a GREAT location..we live in a apt/townhome in a cute little neighborhood. Its located very close to everything..restaurants, shopping, Lee's job, the beach...its perfect! We live near one of the naval air bases and the planes are super loud but its nothing compared to the trains before when Lee lived at Jefferson Place. I don't even notice the planes! Yes, we're close to everything but we have a sense of privacy too..we have a great little back patio and a side yard (considering our apt is on the end) I'll post some pictures once I've unpacked and put things away. As you can imagine with Lee living down here for the last two weeks it looks more like a college dorm than an apartment! I will get you all up to speed with whats been going on!
Two Saturdays ago we moved Lee down to Virginia Beach. We rented a huge U-haul (which was only filled half-way with our stuff..but because of the motorcycle we barely had enough room! We had the biggest truck they had! Friday night we had to be out of the apt because the new tenant wanted to move in immediately! It was so easy to find someone to take over our lease..it was nice because we were afraid we were going to have to pay for March and April's rent but we didnt..and since Lee's new company was paying for our move, this left us with some extra chunk change! Friday night we stayed at (wait for it) Lee's mom's boyfriend's wife's sister's house...an awesome house near roanoke memorial in sherwood forest! It was a maze ...a funhouse! I had a ball talking with Julie and Katie about the wedding all nite while Lee watched stupid battlestar gallactica...no comment :) The next morning we took our Caravan to the beach! I'm so grateful to Jenny for joining us on the journey..here's our brigade : Julie driving the huge moving van (like nobody's business mind you) Lee driving his car, I drove my car and Jenny drove Julie's car. Julie had to be back in Winston-Salem for church Sunday morning and needed her car and this way Jenny could ride back with me! We had a blast..and it was so nice not to have to do anything! We got movers to load the truck in Roanoke and to unload the truck in VA BEACH. We managed to save a few bucks in between with Julie driving the moving truck! Jenny and I drove home late that night. We talked non-stop. I love her more than life itself! She's been my best friend since I was very little..but I'll tell ya what, it takes a long string of not so good friends to make you realize how wonderful the true ones really are. I'm so glad she came and helped..I'm looking forward to Jen and Jodi's visit in May!
For the last week and a half I've been finishing up my notice at work (THANK GOD I DONT HAVE TO WORK FOR STUPID CARILION EVER AGAIN..well..never say never) and I've been staying with my dad and step-mom. I haven't been online much due to the fact that my dad doesn't have internet connection, I've been extremely busy at work, AND i've been terribly sick for ever a week now. I do feel a lot better today now that I'm with Lee. He LOVES his new job by the way. He says that its soooo much better than his last one..not to mention they pay a lot more and do a lot of cool jobs. Right now he's working on a top secret building. He doesn't even know that the building is for..or even the room he's focusing on! He's finding his way around pretty well and has already filled me in on some fun things to do! Speaking of which..did you know that VA BEACH is only 75 miles from the outter banks?? I guess I'm so used to being so far away from nags head in Roanoke. I haven't been there since I was 6!! I think we're going to head down this weekend. We were originally supposed to go to Savannah but due to well..EVERYTHING..that trip has been cancelled too :( oh well..it was Lee's idea to go to Nags Head so I'm looking forward to that!
Well...thats about it for now..stay tuned for a day in the life at the beach! Oh no..I might actually start to become very fond of this place..

If you're looking at moving house or home there are always plenty of headaches that go along with the process. In order to keep your furniture removal headaches at a minimum, it is a good idea to have a list of hints and tips to consider before taking the plunge.
Our Top 5 Panic Saving Tips during the Removal Process
