Heading South...

...for North Carolina!
Yep, it's official. We are moving to North Carolina in March. Since Ammon was born we anticipated staying in Virginia (and in our current apartment) for a while. We thought Cameron would finish school at SVU, we thought another baby would possibly be born here (NO, I'm not pregnant) and we thought we would just enjoy life and settle down for a while. Well, when I was in the hospital, I was an hour away from home, Cameron was working full time and going to school and traveling back and forth an hour each way to see me and then Ammon after he was born, was a lot on our plate, Cameron's especially. He had a tough first year with SVU, and due to an administrative error and miscommunication from the school, it would not have been easy for Cameron to go back to school here. So, we played with the idea of going somewhere else...we just weren't sure where. We thought and prayed about it for a while and decided that NC was the place we needed to be. It was close enough that it wouldn't be too stressful of a move, and my mom lives there, which is a plus. Cameron will be transferring to Radio Shack there (fingers crossed that a position opens up!), he will most likely start school at North Carolina State University in the fall and we will be living close to my mom. We've really loved living in Virginia, and we have made so many friends that we will definitely miss. We're excited for this new chapter in our lives and we're looking forward to a new start.

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day. We spent a lazy morning at home and then took Ammon to the park. We forgot our camera, so no pictures, but he loved the swings! After that he was pretty tired, and not interested in playing, so we got in the car and drove for an hour to spend some time shopping. We got some new clothes for Ammon and had a great time together.

Part of my gift...truffles and gorgeous tulips...the picture does not do justice, that box is HUGE!

Cameron made me an amazing dinner...marinated steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and salad...and it wouldn't have been complete without sparkling cider. It was so good and everything looked so nice!





Best part of the night...a bath with rose petals and candles!


It was so pretty and Cameron did such a good job. I've always wanted that, and it was so romantic.


















The rose petals made the water smell so good! Valentine's Day was so great, and romantic. It was awesome to spend the day with Cameron and Ammon...I was pretty lucky to have TWO valentine's this year!
