Virginia Beach!

       Hey family and friends I decided starting a blog would be a good way to ween myself off of facebook and still keep y'all updated on Me , Justin, Crockett, and Gus :).
   
       Hahah well i dont know exactly where to start since so much has changed for both of us in the last year. But i reckon i can start with where we are now. We just pulled into Virginia Beach a week ago, after a long drive from San Diego. ( Which im vowing to never to do pregnant again!) But we did make a half way stop in Texas to stay with the Crooks fam and relax.  They threw us the biggest baby shower in history!! ( Like they say everything is bigger in TEXAS) I think we guessed about 75 people were there, so you could say Gus got spoiled.  It was definetly a blessing for us as well, Im pretty sure we are all ready for baby Gus to get here.

    After a week of enjoying some sunshine, family, friends, and some dang good sweet tea we headed to Tennessee to see Jenna ( my twin sister) and her family. Jenna is pregnant also but almost two months ahead of me and has two kids Georgia and Mathew. Its been about 2 or 3 years since I've seen Georgia and i hadn't even met Mathew yet! So it was really nice to be there and get to see everyone, Im pretty stoked to be closer to my sister for the first time in ...10 years almost. Lots of future visits are planned:)

Justin played some seriously competitive Mario Kart with his niece.

Crockett is watching his squirell
buddies outside ... not sure if
he wants to play or eat them haha
     Then last Friday we finally rolled into Virginia Beach our new home! We rented a townhouse about half of a mile from the beach and we've been working on making it a home.  The both of us have moved so much in the last few years that we didnt own any house stuff but we're getting there and most importantly the nursery is packed!! I have yet to set it up yet though, Ive been obsessed with cleaning instead :p.  We also havent checked out virginia beach too much but so far we both like it alot.. For me I think its having trees in my yard again ( i am a north west girl) and a smaller feel than San Diego. And our dog Crockett loves it! We have a huge back yard thats inhabited by tons of grey squirrels and birds that have become our dogs new obsession haha ... i actually wont be suprised if they dont stick around !!

      Besides all of that I think this summer is gonna be one of the best with Gus coming in June, all of our family visiting, meeting new friends and seeing old ones and hopefully getting some good fishing in!! And of course this fall I see some good duck hunting and deer hunting and maybe a trip to Canada to shoot some Geese. and of course just some good family time with the four of us :)
