We're excited to have some people we know moving "close" to us. There are really not any like-minded people our age here in our part of the Shenandoah Valley.
Saturday, we're helping Darla's cousin Melia (and her husband Jamie) move into a place in Charlottesville, Va. That's about 1 1/2 hours from here. Melia and Darla have been very close, so we're excited about that. Jamie's taking a job with a government contractor and his story is full of exciting details of the Lord's sovereign plan. They move here from Tucson, AZ.
A few weeks ago, another of Darla's cousins (from the other side of the family) moved with his wife to the metropolitan DC area. That's about 2 hours drive, but we make that trip pretty often to get our "city" fix. Troy and Dawn came all the way from Seattle, towing a Mini Cooper with Troy's Jetta TDI. Dawn is a new Navy officer, assigned to an installation in the DC area.
We look forward to getting together as a small group. When winter comes, we'll probably send a delegation to the ski slopes nearby. (And maybe Troy--a VW mechanic--can help me with my Jetta...)
