Hello Virginia!
How was your Labor Day long weekend? Did you enjoy the last holiday of the summer?
For us, the past three days were probably the busiest and crazies days in a long time (and that’s why I didn’t post anything since Saturday).
Ever since we decided to move to Virginia because of my wife’s job change, we had started to pack up and begun to move some of our belongings, those we won’t use for a while, to my relative’s place in Maryland when I was commuting between New Jersey and Virginia every week. Despite the early start, we still had a lot of stuff that needed to be put in boxes until the last minute. Because the moving day was last Sunday, September 6th, there was no holiday break for us. No beach, no pool, no barbecue. Instead, we spent the entire holiday weekend packing, moving, and unpacking 
Since we moved from a house into a 2-bedroom apartment, it’s not difficult to imagine what the apartment looked like once the truck was unloaded: We can hardly find a place to sit down and take a break when every piece of furniture and box were moved in. Though the apartment has only two bedrooms, there are enough closets to put our stuff so after less two days, there was no box on the floor.
Tuesday was the first day to work from our new home and I already felt the pain of commuting in the DC area (not that I didn’t feel it when I had to drive back to NJ every Thursday or Friday afternoon): The 22-mile drive in the morning took me almost one hour. Fortunately, I don’t have to go this far for long because our company will be moving to a new location at the end of this month, cutting the distance in half.
Except the commute, we like this new place quite well. So do our daughters. Yesterday was also the first day both kids went to their new school and they told us they like it and look forward to going back tomorrow

Sun, best of the luck to you and your family in Virginia !
Thanks! It’s a new place, but we won’t need much time to adjust to the new environment, except finding place to shop
Weclome to VA (not far from where I live) the traffic capital of the nation. At least the scenery is nice to look at while you are stuck in traffic or I66, I495 or Route 7!
