Welcome to Leesburg

This is just a quick post before getting back to my paper writing. Today, we moved from Ashburn to Leesburg. We will be saying our final goodbye to Ashburn Meadows apartments in the next day or two once we turn in keys. This has been our home for the past 7 1/2 years. We moved into a 2 bedroom apartment in October 2001, right before our James was born.  In 2005, we moved up to a 3 bedroom apartment after our Clara was born. Now, with 5 children, we were over the maximum occupancy.  We were blessed to find an affordable rental in Leesburg. It has 4 bedrooms and is at least 900 square feet roomier. The kids love it.  We love it.

We started loading the truck at exactly 7:30 AM, and finished unloading the truck at exactly 11:00 AM. The guys that helped were incredible. We’ve got a long ways to go to situate everything, and plenty of laundry to keep us busy, but we are completely and officially moved in.

I am overwhelmed right now with gratitude for those who have helped us. I am also a little overwhelmed with the this 1400 word draft I have to turn in tonight. I hate to say, I don’t think it will be my best work, but I need some sleep!

Perhaps we will invite you over for some ice cream in a week or two at the new place.
