Life in Chesapeake

So I am busy getting everything ready for my family to come visit. Allison, Chris and the boys are making the 13 hour drive on Tuesday to come say with us for a week! We can not wait. To make things even better the Floyd family is arriving Friday night in VA and we are all heading to the Outer Banks, NC for three days. We are staying at our friends beach house for the weekend, which is gorgeous! This is so exciting for us because we LOVE visitors. We have no snow here and today it is 50 degrees. I am spending my Saturday running errands and preparing for our visitors and then having dinner with four of our closest friends.
