1. I got to go to the mountains! I've been dying to go to the mountains. Luckily, Alexi's wedding weekend was at the beginning of fall color in Charlottesville, VA. I didn't want to be a snap happy visitor at the wedding and get all those dark, fuzzy pictures where no one is looking or they are making a weird face. But the mountains practically begged me to take pictures.
2. The base housing is finally complete and our house was ready to be moved into. It was a bit of a last minute whirlwind, but God's hand was over everything and all the timing ended up working out well.
Leaving the old house was easy and hard all at the same time. This hasn't been my best year. Don't get me wrong, life is good, it's just been a little extra hard at times this year. And of course, I never want to write about the sad stuff on the blog; I just don't even know where to start writing a post about some things and I don't want to whine too much. But sometimes this deployment just plain sucks. The thing is, I know it's good for me. I know God is teaching me through all of this. And He is big enough to handle it when I'm mad at him or ask really hard questions. The plus side it that many positive things have happened in the last seven months too. And it feels good to have a new house. Something else to focus on, a fresh place to lay my head. And it feels REALLY good to know that I won't wake up in the morning with raccoon paw prints all over my car.

Hey Hilary! I was just down at my parents house about 45 away from Charlottesville! It was such a pretty drive this time of year! I was thinking about you while I was down there cause I remember my mom saying she ran into you one time on a hike. I kept my eye open for you, just in case you happened to be in the area again! Hope you settle into your new house and feel at home!
