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!

I got the job!!! I start on Monday, working in the Sales Department at the Hilton in Alexandria, VA and am VERY excited! Praise God!

Here's a link to the hotel if you're curious...

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...

Interview

Things are still going well up in Virginia. Jason is settling into his new office and is enjoying his job. Becky had an interview this morning at the Hilton...it went really well and now we're just waiting to hear the results. *fingers crossed*

We recently tried Five Guys burgers, which are a big thing in this area. (think In-n-Out Burgers, for the east coast) Very yummy, but doesn't beat Braums burgers, according to Jason!  : )

We've also bought a GPS, so hopefully we (meaning Becky) won't get lost on these new roads. 

Virginia

We're here!! After a long weekend of driving (in the rain), we've arrived in Springfield, Virginia. Thank God for a safe trip...now we're getting settled in and acquainted with everything. Jason will go in the office for a little while tomorrow and I'm job hunting still. There's an opening at the Hilton in Alexandria that I'll check out tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

We miss Texas and everyone there! And baby Cole was born on Saturday evening, so sadly we just missed him! Congrats to the Warner family!  : )

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.

March for Life

Hello all! So sorry for the delay in posting! Like mentioned before, we went to DC for the March for Life. It was amazing, to say the least! We had an awesome group of youth and the March had record numbers since this year was extremely important in the fight for life. Here's a few photos...
