Moving is so crazy

Well today is Tuesday Oct 30th and we have lived in this beautiful place for two weeks. Life has been pretty crazy. We have almost everything in its place. Some stuff still needs to be put up on the walls, but for the most part it is starting to feel like home.
Last week I started at American eagle, I was so happy to get 39 hours it was a long week but oh well, then I got my schedule for this week and i was scheduled 10 hours ummm hello what is that all about. So Sunday and today I have sent out e-mails to families in the Atlanta area looking for a nanny. Still waiting to here back. I love watching children any ways.
Many of you know that I spent the last year watching little Evelyn she had become a part of our life. I watched her all week and then Jim and I would watch her one night durning the weekend. I was able to speak to Margret the other day and get a good update. It's funny to go to the mall know and not have to unload the stoller, and the dipper bag. Simple earns are easy again. It use to be undo the car seat, run in to what ever get back in the car hook it all up again and then undo it all over again, but i miss it all so much.
Jim and I Joined First Baptist Alpharetta and have started the New Members class. We love our church. This past sunday we went to the fall festival. It was so fun to be at a fall festival and have to have jeans, and sweatshirts on. The weather has been amazing. Last night was the coldest night so far, it got to 42 and it is currently 57 out side and yes it is 1:15 in the afternoon. I am kinda getting use to it.
Tomorrow I get to see my best friend Rebecca she is coming to see her mom and we are going to the First Baptist Jonebro for there fall festival.
Jim got a job at the Apple store. He is so excited cause we all know that Jim LOVES everything MAC. He starts training this Friday and for the first 30 days he will be part time. After that they will reevaluate him.
I promise I will get pictures up soon. I hope everyone is doing wonderful. We miss you all so much.

What a weekend

Well Jim, Me, my parents, and bobby went ot Alpharetta this weekend. Man we did not know what was in store for us. Friday afternoon we went to walmart, we got 12 gallons of paint, and all kinds of stuff to clean with. For four hours my mom and I cleaned the baseboards in the dinning room and family room. My dad and Jim started painted, and We put Bobby to work vacuming. Friday evening my poor mom tackled the part of the kitchen, that was an adventure. We went and had a nice dinner at Jasons Deli and then to our friends house for a good nights rest. Saturday morning was an early start. We woke up to Mrs. Rosemarrys wonderful egg casarole and muffins cooking. After breakfast we headed back to the house. My mom and Mrs. Rosemarry went back to cleaning the kitchen, Jim and my dad finished painting the family room and I started on the dining room. We took Bobby to the local festival going on, he enjoyed taking all sorts of pictures. After lunch I started on a second coat for the dinning room, I stared to notice what I thougt was air bubbles, but it was the paint pealing off. We noticed that there use to be vinall wall paper, then several coat of paint. With my coat of paint it just couldn't take any more paint. So I hit pause on the project and well it's still in pause mode, we don't know what to do. But after a long hard weekend everything is clean, the family room, guest bedroom and computer room is painted. We are still looking for a frig, but my parents blessed us with a beautiful black glass stove top. They are so wonderful. (You don't even want to know what the old one looked like. Oh that was some fun times.) Well this week is a crazy one. With working and packing, we will be going home this weekend for a quick trip and then loading the truck monday. I will post pictures when we get moved in. Thanks for riding along with us on our adventure. Have I wonderful day.

Were Moving...

I am so excited about this post. After much prayer, and looking at all our options Jim and I have decided to move to Alpharetta GA. Alpharetta is always a place where Jim and I have wanted to move, settle down, and have a family. This is my last week with the little girl I nanny for, her parents are moving to St. Louis friday. Our apartment lease is also up at the end of the month. Jim looked in to finishing school, and he found out he can do it online. So we decided to look into moving. A long time friend of my moms has a beautiful house in downtown Alpharetta that she is going to let us rent. We are very thankful to this wonderful couple. The rent is much cheeper then our apartment and we will be able to start saving money for a house of our own. We went up two weeks ago to look at the house. It is in a beautiful area. There is an awesome church right down the st. First Baptist Alpharetta. We were driving around to see what was near by. A publix is right across the street and a starbucks :). As we were passing First Baptist Alpharetta I saw this beautiful two story brick house. It looked like it had been turned in to a business. As I looked closer it was the PASSION house (268 generation minisries.) I screamed with excitment. I have gone to several of there Passion confrences, they have been life changing exsperences. I hope to be able to help volunteer any time I can. We are going up this weekend with my parents to do some cleaning and painting. When we move in I'll post more pictures. We are still nailing down the jobs, i will keep you posted. God is so good.
