And the countdown begins...

In less than a month, my family and I will be moving to Belle Chasse, LA from Chicago, IL. That's a 15 hour drive from here....

Who am I? Let me tell you.
I'm Therese and I recently got married to Kristian who is a Marine. We have a son named Benjamin who will be 2 on Monday! [June 21st]. 3 weeks before our wedding we found out that Kristian has been reassigned to live in Belle Chasse, LA. It's scary but it's something that was going to be done eventually...whether we moved to a different town in Illinois or out of state due to something like this. I've lived in Illinois my entire life so this is something that will be very different for me but fun. I'll get to be a wife and a mother in our own home. [We live with my parents].

July 17th is the day we are moving and the day that is coming way too fast. I have amazing friends here that are old and new. My block friends are priceless and our children get along so well they're all best friends. My friends from grade school[sixpack] are just as amazing and all graduating from college this year.

This blog will be about our trip from Illinois to Louisiana everything in between and back again. Something that will give me something to do and enjoy while down there adjusting...plus keeping intouch with friends...letting them know how things are going. Enjoy.
