Life in North Carolina!

Hello All!

So this is my first post since we've been married and have gotten all settled in to our new home.  We've been married a little over a month now, which is absolutely crazy, seems just like yesterday when we were saying "I Do"! But you know what they say, time flies when you're havin fun!

As most of ya'll know, Preston and I are currently residing in Fayetteville, NC while Preston is stationed over here at Fort Bragg. We live in an apartment about 15/20 minutes away from base, so Preston doesn't have to travel too far to get to work! We are loving where we are at and enjoy the beautiful scenery around our location.  There is a small lake to the side of the apartments that is supposed to be stocked with fish, Preston and I have been dying to test that theory out but haven't quite gotten around to it yet! So I'll keep ya posted! Also, there are little gazebos off the side of the lake where you can have a picnic or just sit and enjoy the view. It's very relaxing!

There is also a dog park close by, which has come in handy since we recently adopted our newest family member! Her name is Paisley, and she is a 3 month old black lab. We rescued her from the local animal shelter and I'm so glad we did, she is one of the sweetest pups you'll ever meet and I can't wait for everyone to see her the next time we come home!

Aside from that, we have mainly just been settling in and getting used to our new surroundings.  We had the opportunity to go on a mini-trip into Washington D.C. while we were meeting up with some friends for the weekend in Richmond which was really neat, it was Preston's first time in D.C. and while we didn't have a TON of time, we managed to cover a pretty good area of the city and saw a few of the monuments and visited a couple of the Smithsonians.  We are hoping to be able to do a little bit of traveling around while we are on this side of the states, as there is SO much to see!! That's pretty much it as far as our adventures go thus far, but I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on any new excursions we might embark on! Be sure to check back with us real soon!!

Ta-ta for now,
