A lot of changes have come down the line for us and another move is one of them! We were so excited to hear that Jeff was offered a job in Miami, Florida.
What??!! is right! We couldn't believe it we were so excited. It was a surprise and happened pretty fast. We only had 2 weeks to get everything together and move down there.
We were so sad to say goodbye to our home in VA and especially all of our good friends. It makes it so hard when you get situated in a place and then have to pick up and say adios. We had so much fun and will always cherish the memories!
Thank you Brooke and Mark for throwing us a great goodbye party! We had a great time!
Here are the pictures of all of my great girlfriends!
Then on the last day some of us went and had a girlie afternoon with some pedicures :)
miss you all already! xoxo
And then the packing started...
we couldn't believe it... it actually only took us 5 hours to really pack everything- crazy. Jeff is a fast packer. I guess you get pretty used to it when it is your 10th move!!! (yes, Jeff and I have moved that many times and we've only been married for almost 6 years. Hopefully this is the last one for a while).
loading the 24 foot truck and car... what?! I was freaking out driving this around in VA traffic (well Jeff drove but I was still freaking out). We had a great drive! It was about 15 hours. Had some great talks and fun times staying in hotels :)
And then we arrived!! So these pics are just of our stuff packed in the Florida apt. More pictures to come later... but I guess here is a little preview.
We actually had a little detour with moving in. You might say to yourself "Of course this would happen to Katie and Jeff" because let me tell you- YES IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO KATIE AND JEFF.
So we are suppose to move in on Wed at 11. Well we get a call on Tuesday night saying that we can't move into our apt because there was a red flag on Jeff's background check. What?? I guess Jeff served 24 months in jail and he was a felon. Ya can you believe it, I was shocked too. Well we were laughing but also like oh crap how do we fix this? We got to Miami at 3 am, stayed in a hotel, woke up the next morning and had nowhere to move in (with a 24 foot truck might I add again). Well anyways... after many phone calls and showing our passports to the right people... we were ok. Supposedly, they don't run background checks off the social.. but only the first and last name and birthdate. So you'll better watch yourselves when applying for new jobs or getting an apt :).
So then we only had an hour to move in and we did it! It is great to be settled now and enjoying the sun. We keep pinching ourselves because it's beautiful here! More pics to come!

That's really fun!! How long will you be there, do you think? We're moving there next January, right after Christmas... hopefully you'll still be there;) We're planning on Miami, maybe the Coconut Grove area??
Congrats on the move and baby Katie!! How exciting for you and Jeff. You are going to love living in Miami. I have family that lives there and Ft Lauderdale. Make sure you and Jeff go walk through the Dealno Hotel in South Beach!
Congratulations! We are so happy for you two. Have fun exploring your new territory.
Love you!!!
