we made it! we packed up and left some beautiful green mountains and friends of virginia and made the trek up to minnesota. it was not so great saying goodbye to friends-it never is, and seems to never become any easier the more moves we make, but we have great memories to keep us happy. and it's a good thing that we lived in a crazy place in virginia, where we learned that the true pronunciation of buena vista is: BYOON-A-VESTA, because people here have some pretty fantastic accents. we love it.
the drive was long-and even longer with a two year old, but thanks to wonderpets, thomas the train, and cars the movie we all lived. we stopped in indiana to see evan's parents and sister and family. maya loved seeing some cousins, except for one who is her age and would chase after her. he loved it, maya was a little freaked out. maya ate her first mulberries with grandma, and i found a great necklace at a flea market in indiana, so we were excited.
we made it up to minnesota around 7pm on saturday. we love our new house, which has no white walls, but green, chocolate brown and tan walls! glory be! we haven't lived anywhere where there was a color other than white on the walls. maya has a backyard to play in-another new novelty, and we have a little garage.
we're happy to be here, knowing we'll stay a while. we took maya to see the mississippi tonight and she loved it, seeing two boats, and cried when we left. good thing we have LOTS of water surrounding us.
