Yes, it's true. After living in the charming Old Town Alexandria area for the last two years we have decided that it's time to pack up our belongings and move about 30 minutes away. We'll still be close to Washington D.C., which is very good, since that's where I work, however we have decided that we needed to move in order to secure a larger and more afforable apartment, be closer to Mike's office, get a puppy... (Oh wait I'm still trying to convince Mike on that one! Haha!)
Anyways this has been such a difficult decision since we have countless of close friends in the Alexandria area and lets face it, Alexandria has the best LDS wards. I'm going to miss our ward sooo much. They have really been our family here on the east coast.
I'll miss beautiful Old Town with its cobblestone streets and white twinkling lights.
Yet, I’m also really looking forward to a bigger place, being closer to family members, better school systems, more parks, etc. The area that we’re moving to has more established families and amazing public schools. I would love for our future children to get a top notch education here on the east coast, where the northern Virginia school systems seem more competitive and the teachers tend to have graduate degrees. We have a lot to look forward to.

Yes, I keep reminding people to not forget about us haha! We're moving to the Great Falls area. And oh Andrea haha. I'm just always thinking of the future. :)
Wow, when is the big moving day? We still want to have you guys over some time, maybe before you move. I'm glad you found somewhere you like.
Hey Amber. Most likely the third or last week of January and yes lets definitely get together soon! :)
Can I just say that I am not a huge fan of you two moving away? There, I said it. Now, I am glad that you found some place that you like, and it will make commuting easier for Mike. I am not too worried since you work next door to me, practically, which means we get to do more lunches together! Love you both! You rock!
So exciting! Moving is super hard, but sometimes it just has to be done. Be sure to post pictures of the new place and the puppy! ;-)
I'm going to miss seeing you guys every Sunday Yolanda! It just won't be the same without you but yes at least we have our awesome lunch dates! :)
Celeste-Oh yes, I'll definitely post pictures of our new place and hopefully puppy hehe.
