Well, we are finally here in Virginia and moved in! I feel like my life has been in a whirlwind the past few weeks. My parents came out to Tennessee to watch the kids while Aaron and I went to NYC for our 10th anniversary. We had a wonderful time, by the way (thanks mom and dad). Then we came home and had a week to pack and get out of there. My parents helped out soooo much and we are forever greatful. It was hard because between all the packing, we had to keep the house looking good just in case someone came to look at it. It was tough. Well, we finally got packed up and the day arrived to load the truck. We hired some guys to load the truck and they did a great job at using every square inch, but we still ran out of room! So after a lot of stressful debating about what to do, we decided to rent a small trailer and my dad would drive the car we were going to drag behind the truck with us to Virginia then he would fly home the next day to Utah. It was very last minute because my dad had a flight from Tennessee to Utah the day we left for Virginia, but thankfully he was willing to make the seven hour drive with us.
Another crazy thing - about two days after moving in, both of our computers crashed and we found out how much we actually use those things! We got the desktop fixed, but the laptop is a goner! We also got an offer on the house and we were very excited to get that out of the way, but it never went through. Arrrrggggg!! Now back to square one.
All in all, we love our new house! It's in a beautiful quiet area and the kids love all the trees and room to explore. We think we will have a fun year here and you all are more than welcome to visit!
Here are a bunch of moving pictures
Notice the Budget truck and Uhaul trailer!
Out with the old...
In with the new!

So glad to hear that everything worked out. Your parents are great to help. I am sure you all will love the new adventure. Enjoy and good luck.
love the porch on your new house. bummer about the sale of your house. hopefully you'll get another offer soon. we're coming to visit, so at least you can count on us.
wow- I think both the houses are lovely and beautiful - don't get too attached..........you're leaving in a year! It looks so pretty and GREEN....ahhh green, so jealous. I am sick of brown dirt and cacti. Your parents are the best - so helpful and kind. Glad you got a trip to yourselves- I am sure you two had a grand time. Good luck in Virginia- I hope it is a wonderful year there. I would LOVE to come visit (my brother lives in Leesburg- I have no idea where he is in relation to you) we'll see what kind of job Jon gets in Utah....that is going to determine a lot!
Whoo hoo! You made it. That's so nice to have time to settle in explore and relax there before the kids go back to school. Sara and Abby came down to play at the splash pond with my kids today and I wished you were there too. It was a lot of fun. Think about Utah as an option for your next move.
So glad you guys made it. We were all wondering about you last night at book club. Your new house is so cute! Have fun getting settled in.

Wow! Are you feeling settled at all yet? It must be so nice to be done!!
Love the new house! We were thinking of you this weekend with moving, I am glad it all worked out. Hopefully your other house sells quickly. Good luck, we miss you all.
Glad to hear you guys made it safe and sound. Your new house looks cute! Sorry to hear about the offer falling through....where there is one offer, there is another one right around the corner :) Good Luck!
Looks kind of like your old house.
