I don't have any pictures at the moment to post, but I do have LOTS of updates!
-Sooo... I was evacuated from Japan on March 23rd? I think? I have been back in the states living at my parents' house since then.
- We got out official orders! We are moving to Charlottesville, VA and Cliff is going to be teaching ROTC and the University of Virgina. We were originally planning on going to Florida, but the orders weren't available at the time that Cliff was going through the selection board. At first this was hard news for us, but now we are SUPER excited! One of the reasons we are so excited is....
- We are buying a house! We found an adorable home in a lovely neighborhood. We should close at the end of June! Yay!!! A house a house!!!
- Cliff was stateside for two short weeks and in that time we bought a new car (2012 Mazda 5,) we drove to VA and found a house, then we flew out to SLC to visit family for a week and then Cliff turned around and flew back to Japan.
- Lilia turned TWO on may 15th! So crazy! We celebrated in Utah with family. Cliff got to be there this year!! Yay!
- Oh yeah, a LONG time ago ( I am almost 30 weeks now,) I had an ultrasound and we are having another GIRL!!! Lilia is going to have a sister!
So that is a lot of news in a short time. If you haven't already figured it out, I will not be returning to Japan. I was really sad about this for a long time, but I am finally coming around and very excited about Virginia. There have been a lot of changes in our lives recently, but I know that we are under God's direction and that things are going to work out well. I promise I will try and update... more before the baby comes. We plan on heading up to VA at the beginning of July.

We're excited that you'll be living so close. Charlottesville is wonderful and UVA will be a great school to be working at. Let us know when you're settled and we can come down for a visit.
So exciting! Can't wait to see pictures of the new house. So jealous! I totally love VA, and may end up close to you someday :)
Yay! I am soooo glad you're alive! I love that you are looking forward to your new house! I am looking forward to it, too! I just got my tax return back, and I might be able to afford a plane ticket after the baby comes (and you're all settled, of course). Hooray!
So, what I want to know is, what were the orders you thought you were getting? I'm seriously excited for you to own a house!!!!! It's SO worth it with 2 kids. Good luck with your move!
