What We Do Know About Our VA Apartment...













Here are a few pictures (really poor quality ones) of our apartment in Richmond. This isn't our exact one, but you get the general feel. It's a little small (660 square feet), but it's within walking distance to school and it's got almost everything that we want. Washer & Dryer, 1.5 Bath, Hardwood floors, New appliances, it's a LOFT! We're pretty excited about it. They are building the apartments right now as we speak, and we are going to be the first ones to live there. That's exciting.












I'm getting anxious for school to start, and anxious for it not to start. Let's hope it goes well. We're excited to be moving all the way across the country, living in a new place, and starting a whole new life. Syd is trying to get a job as a dog-walker, which would be a lot of fun! The plan right now is to leave on August 6th with the moving truck, towing our car & see how many of the 32 hours we can do straight! I'm pretty hardcore. We might try to do it in one shot.

We're definitely going to miss our families though. It's been a great summer where both Syd and I have only worked part-time and had plenty of time to visit and spend time with the ones we love. Thanks heavens for that.

Wow Josh! So good to hear from you! Congratulations on Med school. Virginia? That will be fun! I hear it's gorgeous there. The apartment looks nice too! I'm glad to hear you and Sydney are doing so well. I've always thought being a dog walker would be fun too, I saw it on some movie and thought what an awesome job! It was fun to see the stuff you're up to. Good luck with everything up there!

Thank you for finally updating your blog! You need to get in the habit of doing it at least once a week while you are gone. Or I will probably have to come and kick you in the pants. We are going to have to get a new web cam too so we can talk often! love ya

You know that you are going to strangle those people who manage it, if they change the move-in date one more time!
