Gary is done with his second deployment, I found a beautiful condo in Norfolk right across from the Little Creek base and our summer is in full swing! All is right with the world (well our world at least). Let's start off with July 4th. This holiday and other patriotic holidays have a special place in my heart that they never did before my other half decided to serve our country. I'm so proud of the work he does and honored to support him from home.
We celebrated Independence Day with the lovely Korie and her man Paul. It was so nice to have friends in our new home to celebrate with us.
We then took a short trip back to PA to see my brother and his wife Beth. Since we were all home we decided to have a little family reunion.
Don't mind Abby photo bombing in the background. hehe.
On a whim, Alex and Beth and their little fur child, Mason, decided to come hang out in Virginia Beach with us for the week. It was nice to get some time with them. With both Alex and Gary being military men we may not get to see each other as much as we would like over the next several years. Gotta take advantage of time together when we can.
Alex doesn't believe in sunscreen.
We finally got the dogs to be still near each other for like 5 seconds.
Alex and Beth left and we literally had an hour to clean up and change the guest room sheets before Gary's parents arrived. We felt like we were running a B&B. The highlight of the trip was going to the top of the Cape Henry Lighthouse at Fort Story, the oldest in the US. It's no longer functioning but the black and white one was built to take its place.
Throughout the summer we had more visitors than we could count. We love being back on the east coast. We're getting much needed time to reconnect with loved ones. We're looking forward to what the next 3 years is going to bring here in Virginia Beach, VA.
