Life lately- Connecticut

We are finally done with most of the huge  changes that have been going on the last few months. We are all moved and settling into our new home on the east coast. Well, mostly, we accidentally forgot quite a few boxes in our whirlwind of a week at home.... Oops! 

Whew, driving a moving truck across the country with a 17 month old is not for the faint of heart! Luckily, my grandmother was able to join in and she drove our car with the beasty while I sat behind the wheel of the gigantic truck with all of our possessions. It was an experience that's for sure. I will say I am glad for all the time Em and I were able to share with my grandmother. It was strange when she flew back home. 

There are about 3500 miles separating us from all of our family. It always comes as a surprise when I think of how great that distance is. Until last December I had always end lived within about 150 miles of my family. It'll make visits home that much sweeter I suppose... And hey, at least the scenery here is much better than Florida! 

I really can't wait to start exploring all that is around us here. We are close to big cities, history and great architecture surrounds us, hopefully some new and rewarding friendships will take shape here as well. It seems like a great community and it'll be an adventure becoming a part of it. 

This is a little picture from our hiking outing last weekend! We've decided that one day a week should be dedicated to hiking and/or being outside...even if it's just down the road!
