Time flies... when your Family is COMPLETE!

It's been about 6 weeks since Kyle returned home and our schedule has been jam packed!

Kyle was home for Halloween so we had a fun time dressing up a bit and hanging out with our neighbors to pass out candy!
My monogram pumpkin! 
Simply trace a stencil with carbon paper underneath and then fill in with a Sharpie, add a burlap bow and your pumpkin is complete!
Then, it was Florida-Georgia weekend and we were so happy to have all of our family in town! With some other hosts, we threw an engagement party for our friends Shannon and Mike who are getting married in February. Of course, the theme was Orange and Blue as both Mike and Shannon went to Florida!




Our last time together as a family in Jacksonville!

A few days later, it was time for Kyle to say goodbye to Sammy B, ship for the past 30 months! I have to admit I did cry a little bit! It was a bittersweet day as we became friends with many of the people on the ship! 




Then, it was my turn to say goodbye to my job at Timuquana Country Club! 

 With my co-worker, Louise, the other special event coordinator

One last time filling up my water cup! :)

Then, it was time for the movers to come and pack up all of our stuff! First, we had them come and pack all of our storage items, then they came for the Hawaii shipment. Our house was a danger zone!



The movers were great!

On November 14, we said goodbye to our first home and set out for Virginia by way of Charleston, SC. We have awesome renters and we know they will take GREAT care of the house!


We visited Charleston for a few days and also Columbia for the Gator game before arriving in Virginia Beach for Kyle's month long training at the Dam Neck Base. 

Dinner at Magnolia's in downtown Charleston!

Trip to the Beach- Isle of Palms, SC 

UF vs. South Carolina game in Columbia, SC!

We have now been in Virginia Beach for almost a month! We head home tomorrow by way of Charleston, Savannah and Jacksonville, before arriving in Orlando! I am definitely looking forward to warming temps for sure! :)
