Last Saturday, January thirteenth, we arrived in Tennessee! Gerald took a job here in Nashville. We'll we're actually staying in a hotel in a town right outside called Hendersonville, right now. It's a really cute town with awesome shopping and food! Also, everyone has told us that the schools here are great. So we may end up getting a place here, just have to do more research and figure it all out. We were set on the idea of actually living in Nashville, but now that we see we're not far from the city, I guess it really doesn't matter. Anyways, that reason we left New York was basically because God really just didn't want us there. We were extremely stressed, and it seems like literally every day something was going wrong. We had the WORST luck! When the option of even going up north came up, we planned to not stay very long anyways, and made sure that if we wanted to turn around the next day that we could. So Gerald's bosses were very understanding about it all, and suggested we go somewhere close to home. Nashville came up as an option, and we were SO excited! It's a perfect mix of the city/country, close to home, and a great place for the kids to settle down. We've been traveling a lot this year, and want nothing more than to be in our own home. Forever. Haha! Living in hotels won't happen again. We're looking for a place now, and hopefully will be in one no later than a month. So that's really exciting!!! Our stress level and life seem much easier already (we should of known we couldn't leave the South)! ;)
Abby has already made her first visit home with family. Last Wednesday we dropped her off with my mom, and she went from there to visit and spend time with everyone else. She had a blast, and even got teary eyed when they got ready to go. She doesn't quite understand that visits will be much more often now that we're only a couple of hours away, and not a year apart. Hopefully she'll be back soon for their birthdays. Which are coming up soon!! I can't believe my little girl will be FIVE in just 11 more days, and then Cole will be ONE on the 12th! It's a lot to handle. Here come the school years!
Okay now I'm pretty much caught up, other than the next post of our first date night in one year. :)

Flash Back: Christmas 2012 in Long Island, New York
Christmas was SO different this year! We were in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, NY. Much more laid back, but we tried our best to make it special. On Christmas Eve we had to drive to New Brunswick, NJ, to pick up the Santa presents. It snowed a light snow, but it was so pretty especially since it was the night before Christmas!! We even got to make made some snowballs! When the kids went to sleep, we snuck out to the car to grab the packages, and snuck them into the room, trying our best not to wake them up. Usually it's not that hard, because Abby is in her room, and not RIGHT beside the tree. hahaha it's was pretty funny! Anyways, the kids had a lot of fun opening presents. We ate at the best Chinese place EVER for lunch. Which was pretty different, and then had Pizza for dinner. haha!
Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve/Day:
