The Great Outdoors

The past two weeks, Jason and I have gotten some fresh air and enjoyed the beautiful outdoors. Last week, we took a long walk to Lake Accotink and this weekend, we went to DC to see the famous cherry blossoms. There were thousands and thousands of people in DC, which made it a little crazy, but it was still a wonderful time. Here's some photos!

Manassas

This past Saturday, Jason and I went to Manassas, VA to see the battlefield of First and Second Manassas (Bull Run). Going to historical sites is always fun with Jason, especially Civil War ones, because I have my own personal tour guide! We walked the marked trail to see the different sites that are still standing, and then we wandered off onto another trail. And we walked, and walked, and walked...and didn't know exactly where it was taking us, so we turned around and went back. Come to find out, it was a LONG trail and we probably made the right decision.  : )

Here's some photos that Jason took...

Moving on up...

So, if you havn't heard the big news yet...we're moving!! Jason has accepted an amazing full time youth ministry job up in Springfield, Virginia. Everything happened pretty fast with it, but we're pursuing it and are excited to see exactly what God has in store for us. As of right now, we're still looking for housing and a job for me, but thankfully, we have some generous family members up there who already offered to help us out. The move will happen the weekend of March 14th. We've got a lot of work to do! : )

Jason and I thank all of you for your support and prayers. This transition is exciting, but it will definitely be hard to leave our family, friends, and everything we're familiar with here in the great state of Texas.
