I am having a great time in Virginia. I am so relaxed. It is like a continual vacation. I admit I was very apprehensive about coming. I wasn't thrilled about leaving my comfort zone for 4 months of the unknown and single parenthood Monday through Friday. (We only see hubby on weekends.)
We get up early, have breakfast, do school, and play. We have a pool about 100 yards from our apartment and I am inadvertently getting quite the tan. The boys are becoming fish. Even Biggest (who is afraid of everything) is walking across the 3 ft section without holding the edge.
Our apartment is great. We have a 1 bedroom with a den. The den in our unit has a closet, a full bath and a door (apparently this is unsual). Our master bedroom is about the same size as our room at home AND has a walk in closet and attached bath! We have a washer and dryer in the unit, which I wasn't expecting. We are only 5 minutes from the grocery store, Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Target and anything else we could possibly need. It was a little nerve wracking picking an apartment site-unseen but when it came down to it we really only had one choice. I think God provided us with the best.
Yesterday we went to Fredericksburg for a field trip with a local home school support group. We saw the Triassic display at the Fredericksburg Museum and Cultural Center. I picked up some travel brochures and started mapping out a sight seeing trip. True to form I got a bit turned around on the way home. I only ended up 6 miles off course and was able to find my way again. We have made ourselves quite at home.
Poor hubby is working his tail off, but me... I'm loving my little vacation.
