Well folks...I'm still alive!!! I have not been out of blog land for this long, EVER!!! Between my gigantic move AND trying to get wireless Internet I haven't had a ton of time or tools to blog! But I'm back, I hope! :-) To start us off I'm going to do a little re-cap of the trip out to Virginia! I have such a great best friend who drove alllll the way here with me and the pups! It was a long two day trip but we had so much fun and I'm so glad she was able to come along for the ride!
Our route...such a LONG way!
Our ice chest the night before...all packed and ready to go!
We left bright and early!
I couldn't leave my hometown without a trip to Kountry Donuts! If you're from around here, you know what I mean!
The sunrise was beautiful.
My little brother sent us on our trip with scratch off's for each state! Sadly we only won $4!
They dogs had plenty of room in the back seat. However, they spent most of the trip like this...
No joke, they love each other...a lot. Not many animals could stay like this for 21 hours!
They were the best passenger dogs! They slept pretty much the whole time and only had to stop when we did!
My cousin, David, was nice enough to let us stay with him for the night at our halfway point!!! He was a great host who even made us dinner!
Talk about a great host! :-)
The drive through Tennessee and Virginia on the second day was so pretty!
WE MADE IT! :-)
And what was our first stop? Target, of course!
After shopping we went to Panera in my cute little town square area and WE ATE OUTSIDE! Coming from Texas where the high had been 105-108 each day that was SO exciting for us to do!
I just love this little area!
Our upscale camping area! We lived in the downstairs area until our furniture came! The dogs had a great time!!!
The dogs are loving being on the second floor where they can watch everything that goes on in the street! And don't worry...there's a screen there, I don't let them stand in front of open windows without protection!
So here's a little re-cap of what I've been up to since I last blogged...I've had a TON of help from my amazing Mom and my wonderful In-Laws! :-)
- Drove from Texas to Virginia!
- Coordinated all utilities to our new house. (MUCH harder than it seems)
- FINALLY got the gas company to turn on the gas so I could have a hot shower!
- Dealt with my first gas leak.
- Searched for a new doctor.
- Found an amazing new doctor! :-)
- Went grocery shopping.
- I've gone to Target probably 15 times, I'm sure that number will grow.
- Directed movers all day long.
- Picked my Mom up from the airport!
- Got stuck in my first DC traffic jam.
- Experienced my first EARTHQUAKE.
- My Mom mainly gets credit for this one, Unpacked the kitchen.
- My Mom and In-Laws get credit for this one, got all boxes/trash out of the house!
Now I'm just waiting on furniture to be delivered!!! As nice as our folding chairs are, I can't wait to sit on our new couch ;-) I'm also excited because....
One week from today the Hubster comes HOME!
I hope you've enjoyed this little update! Look out for a house update soon...maybe ;-)

Wow! What a move! TN is a beautiful state to drive though, but I may be a bit biased. ;)
Glad you are well and had a safe trip. The dogs are so cute.
How is the baby bump??? Pictures, girl! Surely it has changed since last post. :)
Welcome to Virginia! An earthquake, some aftershocks, and then a hurricane next :) That will break you in!

Virginia is so pretty! I loved driving through it a few years ago. Seems like you are getting settled in quickly. Welcome to your new home! Can't wait to see pictures when you are all moved in!
Wow, Mallorie! I thought I was busy!
Love your pics to document your whole trip! Can't imagine traveling that far with two dogs! I don't like the idea of traveling that far period! :)
Hang on to your boot straps! It's been a wild ride so far, huh? Irene just skimmed us down here yesterday. Praying for those in it's path. Stay safe!

Glad you are in your new home...looking forward to all the decorating that you will share with us!
I gave you a blog award today! Hope y'all are getting settled! Is the hurricane going to cause problems for y'all or is the worst part over?
Yay, I was so glad to see your new post the other day!! Your trip and move sounds very exciting!
