It has been quite a busy time for our family this past month as we are now finishing up the unpacking process in our new home. After graduation we had a couple weeks left in NC to pack up and complete everything we needed to do before moving. It was a fun time since Ryan had no school responsibilities so we were able to go out and play almost every day. We were also able to spend some time with some of our good friends before we left. Leaving our friends is one of the saddest parts of moving! We will miss them so much!
After we moved out of our apartment in Chapel Hill we had 2 weeks before we could move in at Ohio so we drove up to stay with my parents for ~10 days. We really enjoyed our time there especially since we won't be able to make trips to their house so easily (now a 10-hour drive). Our time was spent playing, working on projects (Ryan replaced the brake pads and one of the calipers himself--he's very handy; and we worked on an art project for Grant's new bedroom), eating my Mom's delicious food and desserts, and more playing. We took a couple trip to the beach, went to the Norfolk Zoo (which I don't think I'd ever been to), went to several parks and to a kid's museum in Portsmouth. Grant especially loved the museum where there were life-size vehicles the kiddies could play on among the fun attractions (see Grant enjoying the police motorcycle in the first picture). We were sad to have to leave but also ready to finish our move and get settled in our new house.
With the help of my dad and brother, we all drove back to NC to get our belongings out of storage and then hauled it all up to Ohio. We have since been cleaning, unpacking and organizing. As you can see above Ryan had one of the least-desirable cleaning projects, but believe me, it had to be done. I would post the before picture of the inside of the dumpster but I don't want to make anyone sick.
We moved into a townhouse in an area where a lot of other people in our ward live and so far we really like it. It is three levels and has a 2 car garage so we are enjoying the huge increase in storage space. We also really like our back deck and yard that is fenced in. We are able to let Grant go play out there by himself and not worry about him escaping.
So if any of you will be passing through Ohio please feel free to stop by; we would love guests!

We're glad you're getting settled in, but we sure will miss you guys :( Three levels and a deck!! Wow, what an upgrade :)
Glad you guys are almost moved in. Hope you guys like being in Ohio! It will be such a fun adventure for you guys though being there together as a family. The boys are getting so BIG!!
Glad to hear the move went well. Hope we are still able to get together when you come for the Wood family reunion. You guys look really happy in Ohio and we look forward to hearing more about it..love ya guys!
Ohio, huh? I guess that is a little closer to California. Maybe the next move will bring you even closer to us. I think Grant and Charles would have so much fun. Hope things go well in Ohio.
