Easter

Meg and Gabe (below) and Sara and Micah (above)

Easter was different this year because we are not near family so we had close friends come to town and we celebrated in our new home together...then the plumbing backed up and 6 people in the house with no working toilet...now that is true friendship!

Cherry Blossoms!




So...the weekend we moved was the peak weekend for the famous Cherry Blossom Festival at the Jefferson Tidal Basin. We decided that because it only comes around once a year we should check it out. So we dropped everything in the middle of unpacking and headed downtown with the crowds. It was really pretty and worth the trip.



We moved to Maryland, our new home state! I don't recommened moving 2x in one year, not fun at all!

Catching Up!

Scout didn't help with the longevity of the snowman!
It melted!





Joel made a snowman!

A lot has happened since I updated you all last...(I am the worst). We had snow...we moved...and went to the cherry blossom festival in DC! So here are some pictures of those adventures.

One view of the kitchen with new tile flooring and new appliances
Here are a few from the front. New windows!
Here you will see one of my favorite features, original glass door knobs.
As some of you know, Joel and I have been looking for a house in MD nearer to my work and a place we can call home. We have finally found it! We are under contract and if all goes as planned we will close on March 31st!!! It all seems to be happening so fast but we are very excited. There is plenty of room so we want all of you to come visit this summer or sooner (if you want to help paint and decorate with Kelli).

SNOW DAY!

This is our dog with snow :)

This is our house with snow!
Sol doing an awesome shovel job!


As most of the East Coast had lots of snow Monday morning and more to come! As the snow continued to fall we pulled out our broom and ice scrapers to get the car ready for work. Joel worked from home but I ventured into the office around mid day. So we were able to enjoy some hot chocolate with Rachel and Sol after our snow adventure before heading off.

Adam and Lauren's Wedding in ME!

Over Valentine's Joel and I traveled to Maine to one of our good friends weddings! It was a nice wedding on Valentine's day, we were able to see friends and visit while helping the celebrate their big day!
