Transitional Limbo

From from the last week of June to the middle of October, we've been in the longest transitional limbo of our lives!  What have we been doing, besides the legal documentation roller coaster?

Well, we've been staying positive.  We are so grateful for all the support we've received from so many family and friends.  We've had a pretty serious roller coaster ride, going up and up and up thinking the travel plans were falling into place, then hitting the surprise peak of a hill and drifting down and down and down to a low point on the track, where everything starts to look hopeful again, so we go up and up and... down and down and... over and over again...

I've written pretty detailed posts about a few places we visited, but the rest of our time (mid-July to now) has been a mix of visiting family and friends.  Here are some highlights!

We celebrated my cousin Ann marrying Gregg in Richmond, VA.
Congratulations again!!!

We went to our 32nd (or so) annual "Blitchington, etc beach week" at
Sunset Beach, North Carolina.  Here are my parents with my boys.

I've finally got some time to update this blog,
and it appears that it's mostly read by people I know...
