Where your story begins...

Home is where we live, love and fellowship with those we cherish. We truly believe that home is where the heart is in the Molina family. With a lifestyle that lends to frequent changes in housing our home often relocates to new surroundings. Many people have wondered what our new home looks like. So, we wanted to share some pictures with you to allow you to know where we come and go from on a daily basis. Also as a warm invitation to the quaint Molina abode on the east coast!



We can hardly believe that the weekend is over...so where did the time go?

Well, Friday started off pretty exciting for Mel. The day began with a successful trip to the salon. Others who move frequently will understand that finding a good stylist in a new city can often be as stressful as finding a new doctor. Well, my worries are over and I have found my girl! Then, we went to pick up my new car! Car shopping for my car and the primary "family" vehicle has been quite extensive (like a year long)! We had prayed that the Lord would lead us to an economical, safe, spacious, and most importantly cute vehicle for our urban purposes. It had come to the point that we had no idea what vehicle we wanted anymore because we had ruled them all out. Then the Lord took us to our new little S40. She is perfect for all our transportation purposes especially those of future little Molina's. It seems the Mini and the Volvo shall make a perfect little couple in the driveway.
Saturday was quite relaxing. Char and I stopped by the farmers market that morning before heading to the battlefield for some trail running. We love our local farmers market. It is so great to be able to support local farmers that produce all natural foods and goods. Running the battlefield was a great experience. There are so many trails to follow or get lost on. Good thing I had my trusty navigator Char! The rest of the afternoon we spent relaxing at the casa. That evening we headed down the street to Wabi-Sabi for some sushi and some live music. Both proved to be fantastic. It is so nice to have good sushi just a block from the house (Oh, the conveniences of America).
Today, we headed to the chapel for the early service to see our old chaplain from Ft.Eustis. It was great catching up with him and his family. Then we rushed over to our church to make Sunday School. We are so thankful to have found a good group to grow and fellowship with. The rest of the day we spent at home. Charokee had a lot of school work to accomplish and I was busy continuing to get things settled. The weather outside was cold and rainy which was perfect for a cozy evening at home to end the weekend.
May you have a blessed week ahead!

CUTE loft! Love the brick walls. What color S40 did you get? That was one of my top picks, it's a super cute car (and safe too, you really can't go wrong with a volvo).
