SNOW!!!




We have lived in Virginia Beach for 2 1/2 years now and the weather guys have predicted snow maybe 5 times and only 1 of those 5 times did we EVER get a flake or 2. They've been saying we were going to get a huge storm. Well, I woke up this morning expecting for there to yet again be NO SNOW ... Well, I am wrong!

During Christmas we bought Judah a snow bib and snow boots and he never even went outside cause we were so busy! I almost left them in Colorado (with all of our winter stuff) but I brought it back with us. He put them to good use today! We got maybe about 6 inches of snow and Judah and Nathan played outside for over 2 hours. Judah LOVED it and didn't want to come in even though his fingers were frozen and his little cheeks were cherry red. Sledding was on the agenda today and tomorrow is a snow fort!

Judah is very passionate about life. He loves being outside and it seems that everyday we can see more and more of his personality coming out. We love it :)

Thank you Global Warming for sending snow to Virginia Beach!!!!

4th of the July was not the same without Nathan, but we had a good time with family :)

Well, it has been a LONG time since I have updated our blog ... my bad! I don't even really know if I can remember everything since last time I blogged...

This last summer Nathan interned at the State Depart in D.C. He was gone for 9 weeks and we got to see him a total of 21 days during that time! God remained faithful in giving us grace and we all had an incredible summer! I took the kids to Colorado for 4 weeks and we had a wonderful visit with friends and family :)

Nathan started his final year of law school in August! I had friends our first year telling us that our time here at Regent would FLY by. I didn't believe them at the time, but looking back it has gone by fast ... too fast :) We have made some incredible friends many of which will be lifelong friends. We turned in our vacate notice yesterday which made the realization that we will be leaving our life here in Virginia a little more real. 4 more months and then we are off! I'm going to cry for sure, but I'm also really excited for what God has in store after law school. It's so exciting to be following His will and have peace that He will put us where He wants us.

Our time here has been so fruitful and our marriage has grown leaps and bounds! I can honestly say that law school helped our marriage! Haha :)

I don't have much time to catch up, but I am going to try to keep up with blogging! I know what a certain friend will say ... "I've heard that before!!" Really though ... I'm going to try ;)

Here's a few pictures from some good times from last summer ... will catch up more later, promise!
