We made it to Maryland safe and sound. We found a nice apartment in a nice neighborhood that is close to Ryan's work and close to shopping. Still working on building our community and getting to know people. Here a just of few pics of what we have been up to since we moved.
My little Puppy and Spiderman for Halloween. They had so much fun. They couldn't believe that someone was giving them candy. 
Brady is Ryan's little mini me. He tries to do everything the big boys do. And he loves to sit on Daddy's lap and play xbox with him.

Settling In
California Dreamin!
Good bye Virgina! Now on to California for a few weeks.
We went to Ryan's parents and spend a few weeks there. Connor and Brady had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa. We were surprised my my brother and sister in law who came down to spend time with us while we were in town.
Connor and David had a blast playing in the inflatable boat.
Next we went to stay with my parents in El Centro. While we were there we had an emergency room visit with Brady who almost cut off the tip of his finger. It was a nightmare, but he did good and you can't tell he even hurt it. Besides that we had a wonderful time. The kids got to play with more cousins and get more love from grandparents and aunts and uncles.
Playing with Papa Bob's new toys! Boys and motorcylces?!
We even went to Phoenix for a long weekend to see my dad.
Fun at Papa Scott and Grandma Susie's house. We had so much fun in the pool.
Now on to our next adventure...we're moving to Maryland!
Saying Good bye to Friends
Part of what was so hard about living in Virginia was having to say good bye to so many friends.
Two of my best buddies Liz and Melissa. Liz is now in Georgia waiting for new orders and Melissa is in Washington reunited with her family.
Lindsay, Amanda, Corrine and I enjoying a Sunday brunch. Lindsay is now in Georgia, Amanda is in Oklahoma and Corrine is now in Texas. 
This is at a going away party for Ainy who moved to Texas. I love all of these ladies and had a hard time saying goodbye to every one of them.
Ladies who were/are such a blessing and encouragment!
...and more then I have pictures of. Love and miss my VA bff's
Playing Catch up...starting with Disneyworld!
It has been a long time coming, but I am finally going to try and update my blog. A lot has happened in the 7 months since my last one...so here we go.

At Epcot!
Mutti and Papa Bob pausing to take a pic and trying to stay cool!
We had an amazing time. We stayed at a time share resort that had a kids water feature and a gradual walk in pool. It was so hot a humid there, but we toughed it out.

...Asking...Seeking...and Knocking!
At our Wednesday night lifegroup during prayer request time I asked for prayer for Ryan and his job search from leaving the military and entering back into the civilian job market. When we stopped and started seeking the Lord in that time a prayer was prayed for Ryan saying, "God directs the steps of the righteous man." And that stayed with me. Like God was saying pay attention to that because that is what he needs to hear from Me and you will have to say that to him again and again until I have answered your prayer. And of course a few nights later I had to remind Ryan of prayer.
At church on Sat night...Vannessa started to speak before worship of something someone shared with her about faith, and how we seem to ask God for more faith for this, or more faith for that. What we should be doing instead is seeking after the Lord to help us perfect the faith that we have. After all, all God said was that we need to have faith the size of a mustard seed.
And again I got a reminder tonight of how God is trying to speak to me...and that I need to just stop and listen...(thanks Candie for posting that clip).
...So, if you read this and you pray...pray for Ryan's steps to be guided by God, who is the righteous one. And for our faith to be used to it's capacity...sold out to the God who never fails or waivers. And for us to take the time to listen now before it's too late and we have to be "spiritually smacked."

The next day I had all the kids over to help out their mommies and I just had to document my insanity.
We had a blast at Jumping Joeys. The kids get to run around and be kids and I get to act like one too. Is there anything better!
