Law School Graduation-May 2015

 Just hanging with our buddies one last time. (insert tears)

 Strawberry picking with our families

 E and papa finding the best ones.

she ate so many!

 Getting his diploma.

 All our family that came. 

 So proud of Nate. He worked so hard to get in to such a great school. He then worked hard in law school. It was definitely not easy! The past 3 years hold so many treasured memories and friends. Virginia will always hold a special place in my heart. I cannot say enough good things about it and will always look back with fondness at this special time of life.

 His best buds.

 Some of our "treasured friends."

 Thanks brett for telling an awful joke! I love these 3 girls so much!

And, we couldn't have done these past 3 years without the support of our wonderful family. 

On to new adventures!...Farewell Virginia!

blogging

what has happened to personal blogs? i feel like that aren't that many unless you made it big.  ha i forget about this blog a lot, but then when i do go back and read it i love it.  i love reading about things that i honestly would probably forget over time.  and i actually still read certain blogs everyday, or whenever they post. i still love blogs.  anyways, i figured i'd give a little update on life.

 santa was a no go

 she was a pretty cute wise man though

 she loves her elsa doll

 this girl loves animals

 bus rides:)

just a few little snippets of things going on around here.  i could post so many pictures and different things we've done over the past few months but hopefully i'll get to it later. 

we are going to be moving from virginia in may and it's pretty crazy that our 3 years are up! i've absolutely loved living here and will miss it so much. we've made some amazing friends and just had some great experiences. not to mention, i love the trees and green everywhere. but i'm actually ready to move on in life. i'm ready for us to move to the next step, careers, more kids, and down the line a house and just settling down.  we will be moving to las vegas in august/september where nate will be working for a law firm.  i'm a little nervous for him to have a real job since his last school year has been pretty chill and we see him a lot.  but i'm so ready to live closer to our families. after having elin, i've realized how amazing it is to be close to family and have your kids grow up with cousins and grandparents close so i'm excited for that.  so for now we are going to just live it up being students and enjoying every last minute on the east coast!

p.s. does anyone actually read this blog? i've thought about making it private since it seems its basically for my own personal use.
