almost time...


We are sooooo close to moving! We went to VA this past weekend (flew back yesterday) to look for a new home.  It was one of the most stressful couple of days I have had in a long time.  We were not particularly happy with any of the choices--except a house that was out of our price range.  We ended up applying for an apartment complex in Williamsburg...but it was not an easy decision at all.

It would help a lot if I had a job too.  We are not sure where we want to settle completely because we do not know where I am going to get a job!  For right now, I am applying to jobs in Richmond mostly because I feel like the bigger companies will have more room for growth and I will get my hands in on more projects.  There are a lot of jobs available, but I am not very confident in my lack of work experience and that is making it difficult.

Other than stressing out over jobs and homes, we had a very relaxing time.  We visited friends and a cousin in Maryland on Friday/Saturday and had a blast!!!! We also explored Williamsburg and Richmond a little.  We tried not to do too much because we are moving there in four days and will need to leave some exploring for boring days!

This trip was also fun for us because we ate at TWO famous restaurants from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on Food Network.  We are those kind of dorks who like that stuff and not the least bit embarrassed about it.  We ate at Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh...sandwiches that have fries and cole slaw on them! Yum.  And we ate at Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore...cap't crunch french toast anyone?!?!?


So far, we are both very excited to move to the east coast. There is a lot more stuff to do outside and that is what we truly enjoy, but I have gotten used to the city and will miss it still.

We are moving Monday...pictures will come soon so everyone can see parts of our NEW life!!!!
