Greetings from Virginia

Sorry again about no picture or video. We've been living out of suitcases for a few weeks now so its been hard to find the time to upload any. Pretty soon you can expect a new picture or video, however, because we finally got an apartment.

Obviously I can't just post the address here in full view of the unanimous public, but if you haven't received the new address in an email that my daddy sent out feel free to call or email to get that info.

I don't have a whole lot of time to update (the internet connection at this hotel is finicky at best) so I'll just give you a quick update. Good thing I can type at almost 100 words per minute... and at this age!!!

Ok.. the trip wasn't too bad. We left early in order to circumvent the oncoming onslaught of hurricane Gustav - which wasn't as bad as the media hyped it up to be. We didn't even get any rain until the second day of our trip. We took 59 north through Texarkana and followed the highways through to Little Rock and from there we took I-40 most of the way to Virginia. Daddy was kind enough to set up his laptop up with Spongebob so I would have plenty of entertainment along the way. I was really good the whole trip though, so daddy and mommy were happy to oblige me with plenty of treats (bribes) and entertainment (pacifiers) the whole time.

Since we've been here daddy has checked on-board his new command and has been getting set up there, while mommy and I have been looking for places to live. We finally found one yesterday and signed the lease papers today. We'll move in on Monday - which is quite a relief because even though the hotel we're staying at is really nice (comfortable bed, kitchen, internet, etc.) we're ready to get settled. Plus its hard for daddy to get up to work in the morning without waking me up! Yikes! Sorry mommy!

Well I better go, but before I do I want to say that I'm thankful that the latest hurricane to affect the Texas coast didn't do too much damage or affect any of our family too much. We were crossing our fingers (although we know that usually the media just hypes these things up).

Love you all! I'll keep you posted,

B-man
