My DC Trip

I just got home from a week in DC with my fiance, Dana. I say home, but if "home is where your heart is," I left it behind. Yes, as I'm looking ahead to being with my wife-to-be, Texas is officially in my rear view mirror. Last summer I was wrapping up to move to Raleigh to be near my brother and his family. That did not work out. I am so far past where I was then.

The trip was REALLY wonderful. I see us there doing life together. Fairfax County, Virginia, is wonderful and growing. It is set up ready for me to get around in a wheelchair. There is a school across the road where I could substitute part time and build some relationships with local families. The church, National Community Church, is a really cool community. We even worked on Dana's crazy overnight schedule.

Here are a few photos from my walk around town.
