Officially North Carolinians

After a full day of plane travel with Aiden, we finally made it to North Carolina. Matthew was driving the 4 Runner with his dad, and he arrived the next day. Whew...everyone here safely.

So, my parents failed to tell us that a black bear had been prowling in the cove over the past week. Long story short, it came back to the cove and didn't quite make it out alive. On our first official day here together, Matthew and I helped to gut a bear on the side of the road! Take that Los Angeles! Never did anything like that before. What a welcome!

Cornhole Champ?

Maybe he should be practicing more?

Last days in SoCal

It's so hard to believe that our days in Southern California are coming to an end. It all seems so surreal! In just another week we will be in the freezing Southeast! Not sure if we will know what to do with all of that winter weather. Until then, we are doing our best to enjoy the beautiful, sunny weather that we have come to love. Huntington Beach has such a special place in our hearts, so we spent a full day enjoying our favorite 'hood. Playing in the park, sushi at the amazing Sushi On Fire, and a jam session down at the grassy knoll...great memories to take with us.

Best Buddies

There is something so special about your first best friend. Aiden is really going to miss his best friend, Jackson. Hopefully he will be able to visit us when we are in the mountains.

Last Mom's Night Out

I have made such amazing mommy friends here in Redondo Beach and I will be very sad to leave them. We had one more night out to share laughs, food, and (of course!) margaritas! Thank you ladies for all of your encouragement, advice, experience, laughter, and love. It has been wonderful getting to know you and your amazing children...I will miss you all terribly!

Well, it's official...

It is extremely bittersweet for us to announce that we will be leaving Southern California. Matthew, with all of his amazing talents, has been offered a job with an aerospace company outside of Asheville, NC. It will be wonderful to be closer to family, but extremely difficult to leave everyone here. Our time is very limited and we will be gone by the 18th of November.

With time being very short, packing has begun already! Aiden has been trying to help!
