Family news...

We are officially moving to Oceanside, California! We are really excited and looking forward to making this our new home. There was kind of a bizarre twist last week and orders actually arrived today for Jacksonville, but we know with certainty that orders have been revised and Camp Pendleton is our destination. It's hard to think that Caroline won't remember NC or Ohio, but will probably think of herself as a Californian (that's a little strange for this southern mama). But we're looking forward to becoming beach bums and hope that we'll get LOTS of visitors. Here are a few cheesy local photos to hopefully entice you...



The only other thing to report is that Caroline has a new ride. I now drive a minivan! I NEVER thought I would say those words (and keep repeating them to myself to try and make it sink in), but this thing has all the bells and whistles and I'm really excited about it. The stars all aligned with Josh not being happy with the Volvo and a really good deal presenting itself here on the Honda, hence the timing. Plus, it will be great to be able to get our family plus visitors in one vehicle since all of our guests will be flying to see us. And no, I'm not expecting any new addition to our family at this time, so let's just put those thoughts on hold for a while. :)
Here's the picture of the new wheels... I don't typically park it on wood floors, but this was easier than walking outside and taking a photo myself. ;)
