It’s been awhile since I got around to writing anything here! I wanted to give a bit of an update on how things are going and why I didn’t get anything posted for a while. I’m hoping to get back into the groove of things and start posting more regularly.

Tennessee Update

Anyway, our big move happened! We left Washington at the end of July and lived out of a hotel for a couple of weeks while we waited for our stuff to catch up to us. I’m finally feeling mostly settled, though a few things still need a home. We unpacked most of our boxes within the first two weeks; a new record for me when moving!

With the house feeling settled, we’re starting to try to settle into the community better. My brother’s family lives here, and we enjoy hanging out and eating dinner with them every week. A few friendships are forming with people in the ward, so I’m feeling hopeful with there!

We are trying to explore the area and the weekends, since Matt has a 4 day work week. That part is sooo nice! We still get our day to get stuff done around the house, and we can get out hiking or something. We hiked a couple trails since making it out here so far. I find it fascinating how different the forests are from what I’m used to seeing. Vivi loves to pick up all of the acorns when she walks by herself.

I definitely miss Washington at times (most of the time right now 😅), but I like getting to see and experience a totally different environment. I think it will be fun to explore a different side of the United States. And hopefully someday we can afford a house here! I hope you stick around to find out!
