Our New Home

Brian and I decided that we should start a blog for all of our friends and family in Texas. Since we will be moving all over the place for the next few years this will be an easy way for all of us to keep in touch. So here is a little bit about us.

We moved to Virginia in October for Brian to begin his training in the Marine Corps. We will be here until some time this summer, and then we will be moving to Pensacola, Florida where Brian will begin flight school. One thing I have already learned about the Marine Corps is that nothing is certain...until it happens. Brian works very hard and keeps long hours for the Marines already. It has been a hard adjustment for both of us. Typically we wake up around 4:00am and Brian gets home around 7:00pm on a good day. I am able to substitute teach when needed, but other days are spent at home or with the other Marine wives. Eventhough this transition has been tough we have continued to grow closer to each other and learned how to rely more on God. We have been so blessed in our first 5 months of marriage and we are so grateful.


Here are some pictures of our new home in Stafford, Virginia. It is three stories, including the basement, and is located in a great townhome community. We really do enjoy it here, but will always miss our family and friends back home.



This is the outside of our house...yes I managed to get one with a red door and shutters!
