1 year ago

It was one year ago today that we rolled into North Carolina with a U-Haul in tow.  Julianne was 2 months old.  Jax was 3 and had boundless energy.  And I was one tired mama.

It’s funny to look back and realize that I don’t really remember our road trip out here.  It was hard, I do remember that.  And I remember the biggest cow statue in North Dakota.  I sure enjoyed that.  Fun times, fun times.

We lived in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years.  We endured the misty rain and missing sun.  We embraced the cold weather.  And we enjoyed the mild summers. 

And not once did we own an umbrella. 

Six months into living in North Carolina, I broke down and bought an umbrella to keep in the car.  I know! I think we are babies now when it comes to the rain.  But in all honesty, I think the rain is significantly crazier here.

I honestly can’t imagine life without fried okra.  Or hush puppies.  Or Chick Fil A.  Jaxson loves Chick Fil A.  And I love their indoor play area.  It’s great for rainy days.

This last year has been a great adventure for our family.  We have enjoyed exploring the south and experiencing new foods!
