Richmond or Bust!!

Moving weekend has come and gone! Of course I wanted to write about it last weekend but I was preoccupied loading and unloading cars and trying to make some organizational sense of our stuff. I cannot stand having things in disarray, so I am the person that will unpack and find a home for everything as quickly as I can. Needless to say this has been a little more challenging with a baby, but I'm making some sense of our suitcases and boxes slowly but surely.

I remember when we found out in February that we were moving, the end of March seemed ages away but it arrived in the blink of an eye. We have been gradually packing and will be doing so for the next month, but as of this last Sunday our "home" is in Midlothian (at least until we find a place in Charlottesville). We moved all the essentials (Yes, a Rubbermaid container filled with dresses for spring/summer is an essential!) and the rest of it we will whittle away at over the weekends in April.

We kicked off moving weekend with a neighborhood brunch. We have had the great fortune of having wonderful neighbors. Previously, we had been living in apartment communities which were so transitional that no one bothered to get to know their neighbors. Our experience was quite the opposite in Purcellville. It was a great first house for us. It holds so many memories, especially bringing home our new addition last fall. Our neighbors, Purcellville, and our little house will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I made muffin baskets (blueberry, poppy seed, and oatmeal banana chocolate chip) for
our neighbors and gave them some seeds to plant to remember us. Muffin recipes to follow :)

On Saturday evening, we got to have a wonderful dinner with our friends and their nearly 8 month old son. We sure are going to miss hanging out with them!

Have you ever seen anything cuter?!
We hope to still get the boys together from time to time.

We packed up the car and hit the road to Midlothian early Sunday morning. With temperatures back around freezing, it was looking like a great day to head south!

This week we have been working on getting accustom to our new routine - Hunter's commute to Charlottesville, me working from my parents' house, and Phinn being showered with more love and attention than he knows what to do with!!
