It's been a year...

It is hard to believe we have been in our house for a year now. Last June we closed on our home here in Aldie. Time has flown by.

It has been really fun to watch, not only the neighborhood, but the area grow. We have many new restaurants and little shops. A Home Depot(Mitch was thrilled) opened up not more then 5 miles away. A large shopping center is in the beginning stages down the road.


We both pretty much lived in Centreville our entire lives, not more then a few streets over from one another. And we lived in Centreville together before and after we were married. So, this change of venue(even though we are only about 20 miles away from our old stomping ground) had been a nice change. It is funny how fast a place can become home. It feels like we have always lived here.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Us!

Thank you for a gorgeous house warming gift, Jaime! It really is a the truth.

Happy Birthday, Catherine!

On the day that you were born

The angels got togetherAnd decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue.

Love, Mitch

Rainstorms in Northern Virginia

I think this picture says it all. Recently, we have had a ridiculous amount of thunderstorms. The kind that will knock your power out and throw down your trees. We have luckily not experienced any power outings at our house. But, a few weeks ago we went without power at my school for over 5 hours.

They come and go. There can be a torrential down pour for 20 minutes and then the sun is shining like it never happened. The picture above is of a passing storm cloud. These storms have been nasty. However, we do love watching the thunder bolts and it beats having to water the grass and watch the water bill go up.:)

Free Fallin'...

...Into the Great Wide Open

The summer concert season has started. While we only go to a selected few concerts a year, we always look forward to this time. Especially now, with Live on Belmont right down the road.
Tonight's concert-TOM PETTY and the HEARTBREAKERS with Steve Winwood at Nissan.
I spy Johnny Depp, Faye Dunaway, and Matt LeBlanc...
