The big move

Well, it's official. The Rouse family is moving to Richmond. We closed on the new house yesterday. We'll be living in Chester, which is about 12 miles south of Richmond (close to James' office, the airport and closer to Deven...about 1.25 hours which is a HUGE improvement on the 4-5 hr commute from Northern Virginia). The moving van is coming to clean out the Fairfax townhome next Thursday and we'll be officially moved in on Friday, May 21.

I've been really lucky that ACRP has been so open about the move. I'll be starting my telecommuting arrangement on June 1, driving up to the office for important meetings or when needed. The thought of not commuting 1.5 hours to the office EACH WAY gives me butterflies in my belly.

We'll post photos as soon as possible!

7 months

Here are some recent photos of Gwen. Just this morning she pulled herself up to standing in her crib. She's been standing with help for awhile now and pulling herself from laying to sitting but going all the way to standing was big-time for her! Way to go kid!

April Update

Well it's official, the Rouse family is moving to Richmond. Some of my work folks know but the rest will know tomorrow. They have been really cool and are open to a telecommuting arrangement so I'll be able to keep my role but ditch the 1.5 hour (EACH way) commute. YAY!!! The house if half way packed and we can't wait for the moving van to get here on the 20th!

Here are the new digs:
