The Start of a Long Vacation

And a much needed one at that! We just arrived in Reston, VA and I'm so happy to be able to finally post from a computer that doesn't boot me off after 30 minutes. We decided not to get our Internet set up in Rochester since we'd be out of town most of the month, which meant that we had to walk to the library if we wanted to check e-mails, banking, etc. We only did it twice, but it already was getting old to me. I am happy to have a library so close to us (it's practically connected to Ben's law firm's building), but I'd rather be able to check things on the Internet from the comfort of my own home if you know what I mean.

So anyway, we've got some busy times ahead of us, but I like to stay busy and I know that this month will fly by! Ben's younger brother Jacob returns home from his Mission from Japan tomorrow, so the whole family will be here in Reston. It should be fun to have everyone together. Then we've got another "family reunion" in Utah with my family come next week. Since we don't know anyone in Rochester and we've spent the last week pretty much alone it's going to be nice to be surrounded by family. Ben and I have enjoyed our alone time, and we've put it to good use discovering Rochester and setting up our apartment... oh yeah, and playing the Wii. Ben is playing with his Dad right now and he just got rocked in boxing. Not that that means much since I beat him every time we play.

Since I couldn't post about what we have done the last week in Rochester, we took tons of pictures to post instead. Sorry for the slideshow being so long, but that's what happens when you move to a cool city and a great apartment that you want to brag about. Basically they're pictures of us from our move, our new apartment, an art festival close to our house, some cool architecture in Rochester, the Palmyra Temple, sunset from the Hill Cummorah and some other randoms. That's all for now, we'll be sure to update as we travel this month, so stay tuned!
