Virginia is turning out to be better than I previously experienced. I think the Virginia Beach area is really awesome actually. I guess when I came here after Hyrum's mission he showed me all the ghetto areas he was in. It left a bad taste in my mouth for Virginia in general. I love where I live here next to NAS Oceana so far. Everything is close and convenient. There is tons to do as well. The area is very clean and I love all the woods everywhere! So far the weather hasn't been near as bad as Hyrum complained about on his mission. I just think he was spoiled by Idaho weather. I'm totally used to terrible summers in the deep south. Those 100+ degree days when it rains in the morning for a few hours then gets sunny for the rest of the day. It feels like you're in the rain forrest! I've actually been pretty comfortable here.
Our house isn't the greatest, but i'm not about to complain. At least we got military housing. That's what we were praying for. I think i've finally cleaned out the musty smell in here. The house was closed up for 7 months prior to us. It was terribly strong at first. Our neighbors are friendly, but kinda rough around the edges. They have nasty mouths and some of the women like to layout in front of their houses in bikini's and sun themselves...kinda weird because the beach is like 2 miles away...but whatever. haha! There are TONS of kids here. I mean, when school lets out this place is crawling with groups of kids everywhere. You really have to watch when you're driving in the evenings. That's good for my kids though. There's always someone at the park to play with.
The NEX and commissary are much bigger here than in South Carolina. I'm trying to find Drake some kind of activity to do this summer. He just misses the cut off date for everything because of the month he was born. October-December birthdays really bite. He's so ready for preschool but will be too young for that this next year as well. It's very frustrating.
I had my first OB appointment here today. Turns out I failed my glucose test by 40 points. So I have the go in later this month for the 3 hour test. I can't believe I failed by that much! Also, i'm measuring 4 cm small for being 30 weeks pregnant. So I have an ultrasound scheduled as well. I put more pics on facebook.
I feel you, sister, with the glucose test. Good luck and I hope it comes out negative!
