We went to see "night at the museum 2" with a couple friends as one of our last fun florida things. 
AJ's sunday school class with Mrs. Belva
The princess tea party at the Hardee County Library (the night before we left town)
My sweet friend, Jenn, who flew down to help me do the drive back up to VA.
Some of my Wauchula SAHM friends. Miss and love you ladies!!
Saying goodbye to Mrs. Belva and Mr. Joe. The kids had many good times at the Vance's house (while Tom and I got some good date nights) Matthias still asks if we're going to "miss belba and mr doe's ouse"
Mrs. Amy was another fun friend in town. We would go visit her chickens and pick vegetables from her massive garden. She would cook us really good chinese food and bring us over homemade yummy sugar doughnuts! 
Ok, so we left Wauchula around noon-ish on tuesday....I drove from noon to 9pm and Jenner drove from 9 to 3am. It was a long tiring trip, but we made it! Here are the twins sleeping on the floor at Jenn's place....they woke up at 7 the next morning...needless to say, Jenn and I were both zombies. :)
We spent a little bit of time visiting the Busbice's while we were in Raleigh. I left the girls there for the afternoon/evening so they could have some good playtime. Kylie and Megan were best friends during seminary days...it's been fun to watch them keep up even if we only see them once a year or once every other year. 
Sweet girlfriends. 
I also got a chance to see my uncle benjamin, aunt susan, and cousin sarah. We met up for breakfast before we left for Virginia.
The trip was exhausting and I couldn't have done it without Jenn. It's really a whole month ago (i can't believe it!)....I'm hoping to slowly post pictures of my time in Virginia in the next couple days/weeks. As an update...we did arrive in Arkansas this past Wednesday night. Basically I spent 2 weeks in Northern VA with the kids...the night that Tom got to town I came down with a fever which put me in bed for 2 days (pretty much worn out from travelling and visiting and such). We left the day after I was feeling better for Harrisonburg....spent a weekend there (where Tom and Josiah fought a fever), drove to kentucky to visit my brother and his family (woke up the morning we were leaving to find Matthias with a fever) and made it to Arkansas on Wednesday! It's been slow going with the unpacking and I think we're a little overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done (driver's license, insurance, bank, boxes, sick kids, etc...)...but excited to be here and excited to see what the Lord might do in this next season of our lives!
