Life Catch-up

We have been so busy lately, but I finally have some time to sit down and catch everyone up on our lives. David graduated on January 20th, so no more Baltimore and being apart. It is so nice to actually see my husband every day. David started his job here in Atlanta on Monday. He picked up his work car and met everyone in the office. He is pleased to find out that he won't have to wear a suit everyday and is quickly being thrown into work. He is also finding out about the Atlanta commute. We live about 22 miles from his office and so far it hasn't been to bad.

We are quickly setting into life in Atlanta. Finding our way around and making new friends. Luckily there was another guy headed here from David's class and his wife and I have hit it off. They have a 7 month old little boy, so before long Garrett will have someone to play with.

Our house is coming together. We had a wooden fence put up last week and are bringing our dogs down very soon. It is be so nice to have everything and everyone here at last. For most of you, you know what a long journey it has been, but the end has come and we are together at last.

Of course, we still have stuff everyone and lots to unpack, but it will eventually get done :) We have decided that I am going to stay at home with Garrett. We are looking for some type of one day a week Mother's Day Out like we had in Crossville, so that he can be around other kids his age every now and then.

We are also looking forward to warmer weather, I thought Atlanta was suppose to be warm, but we have been freezing down here. It was warm on Sunday and rained all day long. I'm sure that in July, I'll be begging for cooler weather here. The other family that moved here when we did live in a swim community (unfortunely our subdivision is too small for a pool), so we have been invited to join them at there pool and they have a kids area. That will be wonderful in the summer in Hotlanta.

Last thing:
An update on Garrett
He is such a firecracker these days. It is so nice because we can have a conversation with him and he tells us what he wants or doesn't want. He is big into watching movies. When he is done watching it and comes and tells us "No watch dino movie, watch dog movie". He is big into dinosaurs and cars/trucks. Our playroom is coming together, but he would rather stay in the livingroom and play (of course!). He can say anything and can get quite emotional. Our time-out chair is used frequently. He weights 31.4 pounds and is almost too much for me to carry now. It's amazing how big he has gotten. The last time we visited David, Garrett went to his 15th state. He has been too:
Colorado
Kansas
Oklahoma
Texas
Missouri
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida
Virginia
Maryland
Delaware
New Jersey
Pennsylvania

We are a little traveled out for now, but are hoping for a nice vacation sometime this year.

That's all for now, a catch-up of our lives.
