The Big Move

FINALLY.... pictures of our move from Harrisonburg to Blacksburg on August 4th!!
We were so blessed to have SO much help from our families and friends- THANK YOU THANK YOU!! We couldn't have done it without you all! It's been a busy few weeks getting settled in, starting classes (Andy), and starting IV Staff at VT (Jenny), and it sure has been HOT. Who ever thought moving 6 months pregnant in August would be a good idea?? Needless to say, we are getting more and more settled each day and have enjoyed getting to know a new town, new school, new students, and some new friends! Here are some pics of the move and of our new house!

We stuffed two trailers and four cars FULL of all of our things, and actually managed to fit almost everything. Without Lindsey Kidd's help, though, we would have had to make multiple trips for sure!

Bruiser started out the trip sleeping on the floor at Dan's legs

Until he decided that it was snuggle time with Dan. I don't know how, becuase it doesn't look very comfortable, but they were actually asleep in this picture!!

Needing a break from moving boxes, a piano, and lots of furniture, My parents, Andy's parents, us, and Bruiser went to visit the Drill Field on Tech's campus the next morning.

Bruiser loves his new playground!!


Here are some of my favorite parts of our new home:

My dream come true: a PIANO!!

Our new red couch

A clock for our kitchen that I fixed up

Our small- but cute- kitchen

A crib for baby!!

Welcome to the Roanoke-ish area. I'd love to get together with you sometime once you have time! We could meet up halfway or something (wherever that may be!).

Hooray! It's great to see some pics of your new place & to see Bruiser happy! We miss you guys ... it was so good to see you a little over a week ago for my shower. I LOVE the quilt ... I'll post pics soon of the baby room with the quilt proudly displayed on the wall.
