Moving




Packing up our apartment has been a nightmare to say the least. If it weren't for my mom and Will's brother Jay, I'm not sure how Will and I would have gotten packed up! We will be moving in with my parents for a couple weeks so that we don't have to renew our lease here in VT. Our move to Maryland will take place on the 11th.

I only have two more days left with my little Noah (the little boy I have been nannying for). I'm going to miss that little guy so much!!!

Ashley and Steve's Wedding





On June 20Th, one of my best friends Ashley got married. She and Steve both went to Grove City College (where I met Ashley). Ashley was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I was one in hers! So we have that fun memory of watching each other get married. I also sang "Love of My Life" by Michael W. Smith at their ceremony.

The weather held up for her wedding day only. It was a beautiful day-God is good! Their wedding and reception were both in York, Maine. She and Steve had a beach theme for their reception and it was both creative and beautiful! They honeymooned in Mexico at the same location that Will and I did (Excellence Playa Mujeres). It's hard to pass up such an awesome resort! Will and I wish them nothing but love and happiness!!

First Cremee of the season!








Whatever you like to call it-soft serve, cremee...either way, you must admit it's pretty darn good :-)

Family Reunion, Summer Fun

This weekend we went to NH for the Revilla family reunion at my Uncle's house. There was lots of eating, baby holding, and fun. So good to have the family together! :-)











Maryland

As most of you know, we are moving to Baltimore on July 11th (to be exact). Will's classes will start on August 4th at UMB.

We took my first (Will's second) trip to Maryland over Memorial Day weekend. To my surprise, I really liked it there! The transition from slow-paced, quiet Vermont, to busy, fast-paced Baltimore, should be easy enough for us to make. We look forward to living near the city and enjoying all the excitement that comes with it.

Throughout the duration of the trip we stayed in the Inner Harbor. Baltimore is in somewhat of a horseshoe, right on the water.


We looked at well over 20 apartmen
ts before stumbling on our final choice. It is in Baltimore, about ten minutes from Will's school. It is located right on the water in a cute neighborhood called Canton. It has a bit of a suburb feel, while still located right near the busy Inner Harbor. I noticed that a salon I have been interested in is located in the same building as our apartment!

The apartment has a washer and dryer...what else do you need to know? :-) Actually, it is almost double the size of our current apartment at about 1300 sq. ft. We are so excited to paint and decorate. It also has exposed brick, which we really love.

All in all, our trip felt like a vacation. We had lots of fun exploring Baltimore while shopping and eating out. We have yet to try their famous crabs, but I think we can fit that in over the next four years.

The locals told us that we will laugh at their winters. Apparently everything shuts down at even the prospect of snow...that should be interesting :-). I think I could live with that!

Stay tuned for our final apartment pics upon moving!
