Arlington Cemetery. We will honor you.

Trying to put into words the feelings and pride that overcame me when stepping onto this ground is hard for me to do. But I will say, the pride in God, Country and soldiers was nearly overwhelming. It feels good here. Beyond good. No selfish feelings just gratitude and love for those who have served and given their lives and also their loved ones who served from home while supporting their soldiers. It is by far my favorite place in DC. This is something everyone needs to experience. 

I made it to Arlington. I will go back. And my children will go back and they will learn and be thankful just as I am. Thanks to our men and women in arms who have served us and our country and made the ultimate sacrifice.

a day in DC

OH MYGOODNESS!

I'm taking a 5 minute sit down break.. BECAUSE WE ARE PACKING UP TODAY! and tomorrow.. and then?? we will be moving out MONDAY! I'm running around in a whirl wind... cleaning.. mostly making a mess actually.. and packing! and then Monday we are moving our stuff into storage! And then.. Tuesday Cleaning CLEANING CLEANING! so they can rent our apartment out by the 1st.. Already went and picked out our storage unit today.. and picked up a boatload of boxes and tape! and now.. just to pack all our stuff and move it on out!

So when you call and I don't answer.. It's because I can't find my phone.. Or i can't hear it. Or I don't have time to grab it. Or... it got packed accidentally... Or my son has it. So there are a number of reasons! But seriously.. I probably lost it.

And here are some pictures of the last week! Before we disappear off the grid for a couple weeks!

Here are some pictures of our car from the ad!! WE ARE IN LOVE!! IT's SO GORGEOUS and the price.. couldn't be matched! We tried believe me.. We were going between 2 of the same cars at 2 different dealerships.. I'll tell you! We loved the personality of the guy sat Ken Garff Nissan! BUT when it came to buying our car we went with Autosource motors in Woods Cross. It was GREAT. and they helped us out. The whole process took a while at the place we picked! BUT it's because they are so good with ALL the details. We fell safe and taken care of with them. 

 (Here is a shot of Sean driving the new car out of the parking lot!)

Planning our whole road trip out last night! Getting work done so we can leave and know exactly what we are doing and where we are going!

 Yesterday morning I did my nails.. For probably the last time for the next two weeks... And they ROCK oh-my-goodness! I'm so in love! My cute sister Megan told me about this! You just pain tape! The colors you want! THEN let it dry and cut it and place it on your nail! AND CLEAR COAT THE CRAP OUT OF IT! it looks fantastic! The pink color is right on my nails. And the yellow and teal are on the tape. (Packing tape)

 So I was called to young women's about a month ago and the girls ADORE Chase.. Like.. LOVE.. OBSESSED.. LOOOOVE my baby. They are so cute with him. And he loves them too.. We will be sad to leave our beehives!

 Chase's master tent! The big square is from Grandma Stewart and the tunnel we are borrowing from Kristin and Diego!! HE LOVES IT!! he throws toys down it and chases them and LOVEs if I visit him in there...
