back to hot flat florida

i had such an awesome time in virginia, i usually always do. i really love the mountains & how green & lush everything is there. i got off the plane this morning in florida in my va gear- jeans, boots, long sleeves, hoodie & about had a heat stroke. & then almost fell asleep driving a straight flat line home from the airport. florida is boring. unless you're on the beach.

i got in alot of quaint, hilly, foresty, historic virginia-ness this weekend. which is always appreciated.

the weekend with the dancers was awesome! we had a blast! such a great group.... hard working, funny, smart.... i'm so pleased with all that we accomplished in such a short time. the piece turned out perfectly!

lexington is beautiful, i stayed at this awesome inn.... family run, fantastic restaurant & walking distance to everything. the campus is beautiful & i even walked down to vmi- virginia military institute. i miss having friendly walking areas..... hard to find around here.

here are some pics & a link to the dance......

so my hubby ran across this poster today. looking forward to working with the dancers next week. i'm gonna have to get alot done in a short amount of time. i like working under pressure. (only slight sarcasm intended)

in other news, my hubby also had a briefing today about THE MOVE...... well, apparently we have to fly out of baltimore/dc, because that's where tech school is...... which is a nice 1000 miles away from home. & of course the AF won't pay for our travel between tech school & the flight to guam. & we're trying to figure out when/ if to ship the car - our only means of transportation besides j's old bmx bike, which would make for a funny couple of weeks. should we just try to sell the car & hope to buy one there? figuring out how to get home after his graduation, then back to baltimore/dc, how many days of leave should we take, when do the movers come, blah blah blah.

it's crazy amounts of planning. i told j tonight that "this will be the mother of all moves"- our first pcs, overseas, & from tech school (orders coming a mere month - if we're lucky- ahead of time) so the remedy for this overwhelming move is lists, wine, long baths, more lists, more wine & trust that many have been through this before & no matter what, we will get over there.
