Our 1st Apartment

We are so excited to be starting this new phase of our lives and to have a house with ALOT more space.... BUT.... it was a little sad leaving our 1st apartment. This is the only place we have lived in since we have been married. We (well I) had to take a few pictures - so that we never forget our 1st home.

Washington to Georgia

All of our things loaded in the moving truck in Seattle.

Our Last Day In SEATTLE

Our last day in Seattle we decided to enjoy the great weather and spend sometime downtown. I had a dentist appointment that morning (yes, I always have dentist appointments) so we were already downtown. We will miss all that Seattle has to offer. It is such a great city - When the sun shines!!!!!

Golf Game Interupted

On Saturday night, Andy somehow closed the front door of our apartment on his thumb. Needless to say he was in tremendous pain and he spilt plenty of blood on our carpet. His thumb is slowly getting better. But he did have to miss a golf outing the following Monday. :( In the midst of the pain he says "There goes my golf game" --- Golf Game Interupted

Well said....

I read this quote today and I love it ...

"I recognize that, on occasion, some of our most fervent prayers may seem to go unanswered. We wonder, 'Why?' I know that feeling! I know the fears and tears of such moments. But I also know that our prayers are never ignored. Our faith is never unappreciated. I know that an all-wise Heavenly Father's perspective is much broader than is ours. While we know of our mortal problems and pain, He knows of our immortal progress and potential. If we pray to know His will and submit ourselves to it with patience and courage, heavenly healing can take place in His own way and time."
Russell M Nelson

10 Reasons ....

Why I will be sad to leave the NW

1. This is where Andy I met and started our lives together.
2. This is the 1st place I moved to in the US in 1997 and have so many memories here.
3. I have yet to see a better downtown area. You can shop to your hearts content and then walk for 10 mintutes to the Waterfront
4. There is so much to see and do. Having visitors in Seattle is wonderful - there is always so much to do.
5. No place is more beautiful than Seattle on a SUNNY DAY
6. We have both made some lifetime friends here

A FEW CHANGES

I was thinking about our blogpage today and how it is public for everyone to see. I have decided to change things a little, and make it private. All that it means is that I will have to give you permission to few our blog - which I am more than willing to do :-) I think it will be a little safer incase I put too much info about our lives on here....

So, if I know you check our blog I'll send you an invite and you'll be able to enjoy our updates. If I don't know that you check our blog and you would like to - send me an E mail and I'll gladly set you up.....


Happy Tuesday

I have a new friend...

PHOTOSHOP.... you may see a few random things on here for a while, as I figure this whole thing out... stay tuned :-)

HOMEOWNERS

Our House Hunting trip to Athens was a success. 3 days and 40 houses later we found one that we just love. We can't wait to have the extra room. Andy is especially excited about actually having a closet and not having my clothes creep closer and closer to his :-) We are now accepting visitors.

10 Things...

That make me happy.....

1. SUN
2. Getting a new item of clothing (shoes included)
3. Being warm - for an extended period of time.
4. Having a good hairday
5. Getting Emails from friends.
6. Seeing photos of friends and family.
7. Chocolate
8. Sleeping in.
9. Seeing Andy get excited about something.
10. Taking photos (Me behind the camera)


Pretty simple

TULIP FESTIVAL

Andy's parent came to Seattle for the weekend. This is our last year in Seattle and Andy had never been to the Tulip Festival so we decided to go and see them. They are truly beautiful. It was a beautiful day.

Downtown Athens

We drove around and looked at some houses. There is so much development going on down there. I sure hope there are people to fill all of these new homes. Most houses are made of brick. Very different from the NW. They were so cheap in comparison to Seattle. These are some of our favorites. It was fun to drive around and look at them all

EMPLOYED :-)

Happy News in the Call House!!!!!!!!! Andy got a job offer. More details to follow so keep checking back.................... HAPPY!!!!!!!

UPDATE

Sometimes I wonder if people even check our blog - we never get any comments!!!!!! I was happy to hear that some people do though and yes, I have not updated this site much lately. We don't have anything too newsy or exciting to share. Andy is currently on the job market. He has been traveling alot. He has interviewed at 2 schools already and has 4 more lined up. We should know by the end of March where we will be moving to. Very exciting but a little nerve racking at the same time.

We'll post some pictures when we do some fun things.... :-)

Happy Wednesday
