We're moving!

I swear that I did nothing but pack from February until May. Somehow I simulaneously worked full time, took four graduate classes, and kept our rambunctious little doggy out of trouble (well...most of the time). It's a great feeling knowing that the movers will load up everything next Friday and take it away! I cannot believe we already have this much stuff- I can't even think about our next move three years down the road when we actually have real furniture. Right now, I'm so looking forward to setting up our cute little townhouse and using all of the amazing wedding presents we recieved almost 6 months ago.

A few details about our move for those of you who are curious...

Departure Date: Monday July 7th
Arrival Date: Wednesday July 9th
Move in Date: Satuday July 11th

Let's start at the very beginning.

Our life together officially began on December 29, 2007. We had an absolutely beautiful winter wedding. One week prior to our big day Randall finished his BA in History at John Carroll and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army. One week after our wedding we became parents....to a 2 month old puppy who we named Penny! After our honeymoon in Hocking Hills we lived together for one blissful month in Amherst, Ohio. Then Randall left for Fort Sill, Oklahoma and then went on to Fort Eustis, Virginia. I remained in Amherst and worked as an Intervention Specialist (that's a special education teacher for those not in the education field) at Life Skills Center of Cleveland, a drop out recovery high school for students ages 16-23. So there it is...our story in short, and what a wonderful one it has been so far.
