After Alaska!

Before we begin our next adventure I thought I'd do a quick recap of what's been going on since our cruise!

We returned in the middle of August. We went to visit Tate and Julie and the kids for a few days and to celebrate Zella's 2nd birthday. She's really growing up fast.

Our next big event was to run Hinson Lake, 24 Hour Around the Lake. We made it to about 62 miles and decided that was enough. I wonder how I ever did 100! In October we ran the New River 50K. It was fun and I didn't get the leans this year and made the cutoff!

We've been thinking about moving from Pinehurst for awhile and started looking around to see where we might want to move to. We went to Wilmington NC, then to Charleston SC and finally settled on the Charlotte SC area. We put the house on the market thinking it would take months to sell but it sold within two weeks and we started to wonder if we were doing the right thing. It was getting to the point of no return. We decided to buy a home in Fort Mill SC which is about 12 miles outside of Charlotte where Erin and Josh live. We found another Del Webb Sun City community and decided it might be a good option for us. There seems to be lots of active people that live there as well as a fitness center, a pool, and lots of trails for running and biking. We are closing on our house on January 27th and will have to rent for a couple of months as we've decided to build a new place rather that a resale. This way we got to pick out all of our options as well as the lot. Our new home will be on Pinehurst Lane which we thought was appropriate for us.

Here's a picture of the model home that we're building.


So we're just about packed and the movers will come on Tuesday to load our belongings. It's scary to move and start all over again, but I think we'll really enjoy being closer to a city with lots more to do as well as to the newest member of our family, little Cameron. Here's his pic!
