Tomorrow is March 6th, 2010.

Tomorrow also means that Chad and I have been married for 700 Days. (Our 2 year anniversary is April 5th)

Facebook reminded us of this.

700 Days. It seems like such a long time. Yet it has flown by.

700 Days = 16800 hours
700 Days = 1008000 minutes
700 Days = 60480000 seconds

together.

[oh and this is what i did to do the math]

You should do the math of something and share it here!

Yesterday we left Birmingham.

24 hours after we intended on leaving Birmingham. But that is life.

So we loaded our lives into a U-Pack Relo Cube as well as a small U-Haul trailer and we are driving the country.

We stopped at a Hotel in Paducha Kentucky…probably one of the most comfortable beds i have ever slept in…or maybe it is that we are so tired. ;)

so now we have 16 hours to drive to Colorado Springs….but we are not in a hurry.

if you want to follow our trip i would recommend following me on twitter here.

we are so grateful for everyone who came to our party and all those that we got to see before we left….our lives are richer because of our friends…so thank you.

we are so excited about this next step…but for now we are taking a week of a rest and then will hit the ground running at Whipple Creek.

we would appreciate your prayers for safe travels as well as an all around good time.  love yall and have enjoyed and cant wait to do life with ya!

So our move from Birmingham, AL to Vancouver, WA is less than 2 weeks away.

Our next 2 weeks will be filled with packing, packing and more packing. Work and then precious moments with friends we will miss.

I have to be honest in saying that while i was packing the other day i came across a note from a friend that made me cry. She is younger than i am, in high school in fact. But i realized that by moving away i would miss seeing her grow up through her High School days and graduate.

This last week and a half is going to be hard to get through. Knowing that it will be lasts all over the place. There will probably be tears, you know, since i cry now, and happy moments.

My goal is to not let my sadness get in the way and hurt the precious moments that are celebrating the years of friendships.

But the truth is….

Moving is hard.
Saying goodbye Sucks.

But i know Chad and i are taking a step of faith and growing together…and that excites me.

So excuse the absence the next few weeks. I will update as much as i can…without internet and on the road. ;)

But when i return and my life is a little more normal you will get to hear of the new adventures of Chad and Lynse. I cant wait!!

well, the process has begun. We are leaving Birmingham in 3 weeks from today…so we have started packing and getting ready for the move. As we were taking apart our bookshelves i had the thought that we are making our home back into a house.

When we moved in it was a house….well, actually apartment, but regardless…it had white walls, plain everything…nothing on the walls, no decoration. But it was the first 2 years of our life together. and over those 2 years it became a home. the refuge. it became comfortable. the place we wanted to go at the end of a long and frustrating day.

but as we take things off the walls and the character of our home gets packed into cardboard boxes it becomes a house.

see, this is what i mean…

This was taken like 2 weeks ago…

and this was last night….

the process has begun…

how long did it take for your house to become a home?

well, we have almost been married for 2 years and i have realized that i have not shared any of our pictures….

so, for those of you who want to see them here is a video. The pictures were done by the incredible Zach and Jody Gray with Gray Photography. If you are looking for a wedding photographer i would highly recommend them. They made this nifty little video for us. And almost 2 years after the wedding i am still glad i went with them…and i love my pics. (sorry for the promo)

So here it is….
