New everything!
I know it's been forever since I've written! We have moved yet again. We are now in Camp Lejeune, NC! We are currently in a hotel waiting to move into our new house on base and I can't wait! I'm so excited to finally decorate a home! God has been watching out for us as He always does! I'm job hunting, church hunting, and friend hunting. Jeremy leaves very soon so this will be an adventure for sure! I can't promise I will keep this blog up, but I will try to update every now and then!

Holiday Crafts
Since I have had so much free time lately, I decided to take up a hobby. A few weeks ago I went to lunch with my good friend Jennifer. We came across some cute holiday decorations and I became inspired. I went to 6 different craft stores looking for what I needed. If we had a Hobby Lobby, I would have only had to go to one. HL is opening here soon and I can't wait!!!
I bought some cardboard letters, painted them, and modge podged scrapbook paper onto them. I loved how they turned out and I can't wait for these two holidays!
While I was at it, I also made some desk accessories for Jeremy's new desk. I decided to just have fun with it

MIA
I know I haven't been writing lately, but things have been quiet here!
Jeremy and I have enjoyed seeing each other more now that he is at his new school. He is loving communications school, and I love that he gets home early everyday! He has about 4 months left before we move again!
We have also enjoyed hanging out with friends from church. We are blessed with the friendships we've made at North Stafford Church of Christ and are so sad to leave them in December! We are making the most of the time we have left. We love having Bible studies, playing games, and going out to eat with wonderful Christian couples who inspire us to be better people!
I am waiting for the school year to start back up and get to substitute teaching again. I have been trying to be crafty lately and will share pictures soon, I promise! I'm almost done with my latest project.
I will leave you with this ADORABLE picture of my nephew Jaxon who I can't wait to see again at Thanksgiving (which seems like forever ways away)! He's almost 3 months old already!

Jamboree!
We got to see Jeremy's twin brothers last weekend! They are spending a couple of weeks in the area for the National Boy Scout Jamboree. We met up with their troop in DC for dinner one night. They are now at Fort A.P. Hill with about 45,000 other scouts. Jeremy went to the Jamboree when he was a scout so he shared his wisdom of what to except with the boys. It was good to see Jimmy and Robert even if it was just a short visit!
East Coast...
...here we come!
We know we will staying on the East Coast for the next 3 years. We don't know where we will be yet, but our possibilities are Camp Lejeune, NC; Cherry Point, NC; Beaufort, SC; or Albany, GA. Most likely, we will be in North Carolina! We will find our where in October.
We choose the East Coast, as it is best for what Jeremy wants to do in his career. We are excited to find out where we are going so we can find a place to live and I can look for a job!
Not much has been happening here in Quantico. Jeremy has started his Communications School and is loving every bit of it. He has about 2 tests a week, so he studies a lot.

Kings Dominion
The day after we got back from Boston, Jeremy and I volunteered to go to Kings Dominion with our youth group at church as chaperons. Kings Dominion is an amusement park located 40 miles south of us. The park was hosting Christian bands that night including Toby Mac, Chris Tomlin, Fireflight, Remedy Drive, CJ Blount, and David Nasser.
We were so excited to ride some roller coasters and see the bands! 6 kids ended up going along with 2 other adults, one being the youth intern. We got there around 10 and started riding rides! We were having a great time, but it was very HOT! I started to get a migraine which is not unusual and took some medicine. After a few more rides and lunch I still had a migraine and took some more meds. It was not helping, but I was hanging in there, determined to have a good time!
Jeremy and I went and jumped in the wave pool to cool off and met back up with the group for an indoor roller coaster. When I got off the ride, I had the worst pain in my head I'd ever felt. I looked at Jeremy and said, "We need to go to the car, I think I need to go to the ER." My head was in so much pain and I couldn't stop crying it hurt so bad! Jeremy rushed me to the ER which was a good 20 minutes away.
The ER got me in very quickly. They did a cat scan and everything was fine there. They gave me some medicine and fluids through an iv and sent me on my way. I was feeling much better, but very tired. They think it was a mixture of a migraine, the rides, and dehydration.
We were back on the road in 2 and a half hours. We went back to the park to get the kids, but the concert wasn't over yet. I was wiped out from the medicines so I stayed in the car and rolled down the windows to hear the end of Toby Mac. Overall I think the kids had a great time. Jeremy and I are planning to go back one day to ride the rest of the rides we didn't get to ride! It was quiet a day that's for sure!

BOSTON Part 2
Let's see where I left off...oh yes Freedom Trail!
Jeremy headed out to walk the Freedom Trail Tuesday morning. I decided to wait and join him closer to the end of the trail since it was so HOT! Here are a few pictures from his historic walk.
Benjamin Franklin
The North Church where the "one if by land, two if by sea" lantern was hung
I met up with Jeremy before going here, Bunker Hill. Jeremy loved learning about this battle!
and the final stop, the USS Constitution
That afternoon after a quick stop at Harvard, we decided to head back to hotel and have some drinks by the pool. It was so hot and humid and we couldn't wait to jump in the pool!
The next day we headed to Plymouth. I had been to Plymouth as a child, but all I remember doing there was seeing the rock.
Here we are on the Mayflower II
And here is Plymouth Rock
And here is the Plymoth Plantation
After that we went to Quincy to the Adams National Historic Park. They have the homes where John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born and a home where 4 generations of the Adams family lived. Here is one of them.
We had a great time in Boston and enjoyed being together without having to worry about work! It was a good break! Stay tuned for the next post about King's Dominion amusement park and a trip to the ER!
