Get ready...here we go again!

The past couple of months have been a whirlwind for us, as my husband got a job offer.  So we're forging ahead on this exciting new path.  Yes, we are moving again!  And, this time we are moving to a part of the US that I am less familiar with (being that I from the east coast), but I am very excited about it because I just keep hearing great things!  Hello Louisville, Kentucky! 

This all happened so quickly, so much so, that I haven't had much time to process it.  We've already been down to Louisville for one house hunting trip and we leave next week for another trip, with the hope to find a house!

We put our current house on the market (insert sad face) and we got and accepted a bid in just two days (insert happy face - thank you God)!  And, while I am very excited, I must admit I have mixed emotions about leaving this house, our neighborhood, our friends and New England. 

BUT, moving to Louisville, KY will provide us with many opportunities and we are looking forward to embracing them with open arms!

We don't have much time to find a house and I am nervous about picking the 'right' area/neighborhood for our family.  We want to be in Jefferson county because of the proximity to Louisville.  I really like the Indian Hills area.  The houses are pricey, but beautiful and I like the fact that it boasts older homes with charm.  It also doesn't seem to have the typical planned community (i.e., sub-division) feel.  But, if any of you are familiar with Louisville, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

So, a lot has been happening.  My heart is full with love and gratitude given all that God has provided.  I look forward to starting this next chapter and making Louisville, KY our new home.

Life...

Our summer is in full swing!  Luke is in several camps and my favorite (and his) so far is 'art' camp.  He has brought home several pieces of art that is picture framing worthy and was the lead as the 'big bad wolf' in their production of the Three Little Pigs.


Here is his teacher congratulating him while Elizabeth hangs around!


Our babysitter from Vienna is visiting us this summer and is staying with us for the month of July which has been fantastic.  And, we had a great 4th of July with friends celebrating with a bbq and our own little mini fireworks show!





This summer is flying by faster than I'd like it to, but it has been fun.  I hope to have some exciting news to share real soon! :)
