We made it!

We made it to Ft. Bragg a couple of weeks ago. We've been staying with my brother and his family until we have a home to call our own (which we plan to be in by the end of July). My nieces and nephew have been great entertainment for Millie. They get a kick out of making her laugh and smile at them. I'm very impressed that Millie has been so flexible to sleeping and playing here, there and everywhere. She's sleeping with her Uncle here.


The Fromille's came to see us on their way to SC. It was nice to see familiar faces. Although brief, we're glad they got to meet Millie for the first time.

Coincidently, my mom had already made plans to come up last week. She was thrilled to have all of her grands in one place. We toured Fayetteville on our way to an animal farm and spent a day at the pool. Millie did a lot of sleeping, of course.

We began our church tours yesterday as we try to find the equivalent to Seacoast which, by the way, is IMPOSSIBLE. We have to consciously remove Seacoast comparisons from our brains so it doesn't effect our decision to join a Fayetteville church. We haven't found one yet but the search has only just begun. We'll see what next week brings.

Matt starts his residency tomorrow which means we'll have less
and less time with him. Rumor has it, this residency is going to take up most of his day and after-hours (family) time. We've been really spoiled to spend these last couple of months with him. I recommend these type of "extended vacations" to anyone- devoid of the homeless scenerio. Its been nice to have the time off as we wait for the date when reality returns. So until we have a home, Millie and I will be hanging out with the family, mainly poolside (see photo of Millie in her swimsuit given to her by Gma and Gpa D'Amico).

(How cute is she?!)

Farewell Charleston

These are our final days in Chucktown. We will be moving tomorrow and Friday to Ft. Bragg, NC. It's a bittersweet feeling to know that we are transitioning into a new phase in our lives but feel reluctant to say goodbye to all of our friends we've made here in Charleston. So here it goes, good bye Seacoast and friends, the Surratt's, Overcash's, Helle's, Batson's, Small Group, Ramsey's, Neighbors, Randstad crew, Sims', Meg and Leo, and the other incredible folks who have impacted our lives forever. We have learned so much in these last 6 years. We will never forget you and the awesome, fun experiences, and hope to visit as often as possible. I pray we will find friends like you in Ft. Bragg and wherever life takes us in the future. 

Luckily we were able to spend an evening out with some of our original small group- Josh, Lisa (plus Miles) and Kristen, Michael (plus Seven). We love you guys!

Smile!

Millie is smiling more and more each day. She has some other pretty cool tricks, too. She loves to sing with her daddy and me. I'll capture it soon and get it posted. She talks a lot and likes to interrupt when you're talking to her. I think she might be a politician, an actress, a singer or a tv personality. She's a riot!  

Sorry, friends, our PC is still not fixed. Thanks to MUSC for the borrowed APPLE. Unfortunately, we'll have to return it next week.  hum-drum.
