Ever Changing…..

Well blog friends where shall I start?

How about with Autumn’s Birthday last Friday night…..

Dirty shot time to start the night off….  DSC05689 DSC05695 DSC05699 DSC05712

Well we had a great time for Autumn’s birthday at Ormsby’s, a very “unique” German bar/restaurant with tons of fun stuff to do (but horrible food)!

Sooooo, on to my story…at about midnight that night we decided we would move out of our apartment starting THAT night and be done by the end of the weekend.

Please note, we had pondered this decision since Thursday when we found out it would be an extra 520 (something) dollars a month to stay longer and do a month by month lease …because you all know i never found a house that i was in love with…. and that love factor is pretty important to me with houses…..BUT even with out a house we told our leasing office “Umm no thank you”.

So a test for me the following week and deciding to move anyway….. daughter of an accountant i guess but i couldn’t fathom the idea of spending that!

So mom and dad offered to run to our rescue Saturday morning and help us pack and put our entire house in storage if we decided to do so….

…..and that combined with a few gracious offers from Alex’s siblings inviting us to stay with them helped make our decision!

Note most of this decision making happened while under the influence…… yes, the offers, acceptance and conclusion to move! YIKES!

Thank you soooo much Mom and Dad, Andy and Rachel and Laura and Chris we couldn’t have done it with out ya'll and your smiles while you slaved away meant the most to us!!

(LOOK AT THAT HINEY)

Lou took a time out to deal with mill’s emotions…. not sure if you all remember last year when we moved here from Clemson… but Mill and her nerves threw up about 3 times before we loaded up in the U-haul! She was a good girl this time! DSC01479

Speaking of throw up…… this closet looks like it and made me feel like it! At one time it was a “walk in” closet, ha what a task, thank God for my helpers!

This was our progress by Saturday night…. DSC01486

Mom wins the hardest worker  of all award!! The kitchen was all hers, and most of the cleaning that goes with that… THANK YOU!DSC01487 DSC01495

Break time….. Dad guarded the last piece of furniture left in the house….. well that and the TV with his games on! DSC01496

TJ: “Hey guys… has anyone seen my bed?”

DSC01503So Sunday night we moved in to our new diggs…. Andy and Rachel’s house!!!  Not only did they help us all day, they also had our room all ready when we got there… saints!

WE FIT!

Oh and cuddle time is a whole new experience….going back to a full size bed after we got used to the king is quite an adjustment but a fun squeeze for the 4 of us, if only we could re-teach TJ how to lay vertical again!!

The boy takes up a lot of room, what are we going to do with him Milly?

Mill has found her new favorite spot…. the balcony off Andy and Rachel’s bedroom, in the morning it faces the sun and she gets to watch other mommies and daddies walk their furry children!DSC01521

Casey LOOOOVES her new company!

Needless to say Andy and Alex are in heaven and have had World of Warcraft tournaments every night with both their t.v’s!

DSC01517Andy’s request when we moved in was bring the TV and play station, that’s all you need!  SAD!

So thanks to Andy and Rachel we have an amazing place to stay that turns my usual hour commute to Grady to 15 MINUTES!

- A friend from class asked if she should make a joke about the day we moved with them being the start of homeless awareness week*

I have to admit, it’s pretty hilarious!!

So anyway, this weekend we have left the pups behind and we are off to Mississippi for grams 81st birthday party!! It’s also “Cruisin the Coast” this weekend in Biloxi so there’s over 4,500 old cars! To top it off we also found out Rob, from Alex’s work was sponsored in a poker tournament this weekend and will be here playing at the Beau Rivage Saturday!!

Pretty exciting stuff and should all be a blast, can’t wait!!
