That's the # of miles that separate this new life from the one I left behind. Crazy me (and for those that know me, certainly not surprising), I decided to get married, graduate school, move my entire life across the country, start a new job, and sell my car in a span of 4 months!
Crazy. I think so.
I promised a large group of people that I'd start a blog, to keep everyone in the know. It's been almost a month since the big move and I am barely getting situated enough to start it up. Many things have happened in the past month. Here's a cliff notes version and I promise.. i'll try to keep this up as best I can :)
First off, Rog and I have some really great people in our lives. My BFF Michelle and cousin Jen braved the 24+ hour drive from Cali to Iowa with me and the babies. I love them to death for doing this with us.
More great people flew into Iowa in the next few days. Chase flew in a few days after we arrived, and Steph and Adell flew in and surprised Rog :) Rog thought the knock on the door was the pizza we fake ordered, when it fact, it was Steph and Adell. Rog was speechless when he opened that door.
Contrary to what many people think, we did a lot in Iowa the first week and half of the big move since it was Michelle, CHase, Steph and Adell's first time in Hawkeye nation.
We were on a mission to take pictures with any Herky we saw in town. For those that don't know, Herky the Hawkeye is University of Iowa's mascot.
We also went to WIlson's Orchard (best apple cider EVER!)
(Apple cider slushies, apple cider donut, apple turnover with cinnamon vanilla ice cream, and freshly picked Honeycrisp apple)
Also visited Herbert Hoover's birthplace.
We hope Iowa treated our guests well :) We already miss these people, plus all our family and friends back home.. TONS! Love you guys!
(Iowa well-represented! Missing Jen! LOL)
Time needs to fly so that we can all be reunited once again. Iowa misses you guys, LOL. For the first time, Iowa had 4.5 Filipinos roaming the streets all together. LOL.
