Washington DC

Josh and I decided to take off to Washington DC over Memorial weekend. We all had a blast, even Miss Olivia. We stayed in Old Town Alexandria, and took the Metro into DC each day. It was so amazing to be there over Memorial Weekend, especially our visit to Arlington Cemetery. We were able to see almost everything in 4 days. Each day was packed , but we also made time for relaxing as well. I was really excited to see everything in person, including all of the Smithsonian Museums. Living on the East coast has its advantages, we definitely will need to go back, maybe next Memorial Day...........

First Day of Many at the Beach

We took off to Charleston, for our first official beach trip a few weekends ago. Olivia loved the beach, just like her Mama. She loved playing in the sand, not without a few tears when she rubbed her eyes. She is still learning about things, but she always does everything with a smile. I love the fact that we are less than two hours from the ocean.

Columbus Zoo

We made our first trip to the Zoo out here with my some of our new friends. Olivia loved it, and it was a beautiful Zoo. They also had a gorgeous Bontanical Gardens, we definitely will be getting a Zoo pass.

Playing Outside

It's a good thing we live somewhere warm, because Olivia just loves playing outside, especially with her new golf clubs. We spend a lot of our days outside or at the park. Just love warm weather.

Jake's Commissioning

Josh was able to come to Utah for a few days around Easter for his brothers commissioning to the Army. His brother Jake asked him a while back, so it was an honor for us to be there and support his wish. Josh was able to commission him in, so it was pretty neat to watch. Good luck Jake!!

Easter

We were so happy that we were able to be in Utah for Easter. Josh was TDY to Las Vegas, so I stayed with my Dad for 15 days. It was so nice to be home and around family and friends once again. Olivia loved hunting for eggs and she especially loved eating the candy. Our trip ended far too quickly and it was back to South Carolina for us. We already miss our family soooo much. Olivia picks up the phone and says "Grandpa." It makes me so sad to be so far away.

Anniversary

Our Anniversary was a bit different this year. We had only been here for 3 days, and we knew nobody. So it was all 3 of us off to dinner and shopping. Not a good idea, Josh was sick from a tetnus shot and Olivia was really on one that night. How I miss the joys of having family around to help out. Happy 4 year anniversary to my love.
