I write this from 30,000 feet above the ground on our flight from Memphis, TN to Las Vegas. Our time in Virginia, Tennessee and Mississippi is over. After packing up all our stuff and by a miracle of God (plus the Jarretts, Elizabeth Kamp and Heidi), fitting it into a 5x8 trailer, we drove down to see Melissa's family in Northern Virginia. It was great to see my friends and family and it really made me feel sad about moving so far away. On Thursday, we drove 15 and a half hours to Memphis, Tennessee. As you can see from the above picture, we had to strap the mattress to the top of the car which gave us a good deal of trouble.
In Memphis, we had a great party with Ben's friends and got to catch up with them. After spending a fun day at the Aberdeen Ford Dealership with Doug in Mississippi, Ben and I drove to Pickwick Lake where Lucy and Bruce have just built a beautiful house. (See pictures below). We went on the boat and fished and hung out in the hot tub and made s'mores in the fire pit-very relaxing.
We still don't have an apartment for Milan, but the dashing Kevin Lewis was a star and picked our visas up for us at the Consulate while we are out of town. Yay Kevin!!
Tomorrow is the 3rd Anniversary of our Marriage. We are so grateful for everyone's support and love to us over these years and are thankful to have each other and to be beginning a new adventure.
