Man Chair

The long awaited "Man Chair" is finally here! We ordered the chair over Labor Day weekend and after weeks of patiently waiting, we got to welcome the new chair into our living room last week! So far we're not really use to having our own place to sit since we've been sharing the couch for 2 years now, but guess we'll have to learn how to stretch out a little :)

Giggles

Gretchen and I had fun with Elizabeth in the park. It was Elizabeth's first time on the swing and she loved it! She kept laughing and giggling the whole time. Makes you wish you could go back in time. Brings back memories of being a kid and playing on the swings with my childhood friend, Kim. We were so daring and would swing as high as we could and then jump off at the height of the swing. I don't know if I'd be so daring today-- I mean - I could break something!

Don't worry Sissy, I'm sure Elizabeth would never do anything like that when she gets older :)

Fun with friends

Since Camille and Betsy already posted about this on their blogs, I had to also add to mine. While Betsy was on the East Coast visiting her family she and Camille drove all the way down from Chatta-vegas to eat dinner with me & Kyle.

It was so fun to see my girlfriends again and catch up in person instead of the phone or Facebook - ha! Camille remembered to snap a photo to remember the evening... this one photo has now made it on all our blogs!

Calling all guests

4 months after moving in we finally have an offical guest room. Living in South Florida in a 2/2 apt, our second room was the catch all - office / workout room / guest room. So, we were really excited that in our new place in Atlanta that we'd have a whole room just for our guests.

We started with just a mattress in August, but the day we moved it in, we noticed the carpet was wet. This started a 2 mo + repair to the wall and floor courtesy of our landlord (thank goodness its a rental!)

So, after months of waiting and anticipating we finally have a bonafide guest room. Here's a few pictures of the final product. Calling all guests.... hint hint Kim, Gary, Keily & Jack!

We started with these 2 huge pictures that I got for FREE at a garage sale in Haines City

It's not goodbye it's just good night... GOOD NIGHT!

Little Phi mu shout out to Camille and Betsy who are drive down to see us tomorrow night. Betsy flew in from Arizona is visiting her family in Chattavegas and is taking time out of her trip to come see me... awwww!


I love knowing that no matter where we go or how things change, that we can still pick up where we left off like no time has gone by at all.


Here's a shout out to Camille & Betsy showing off their prom poses from Jolene's wedding

Braves Game Extavaganza

Our friends Nay and Brandon, the newly Mr and Mrs Sparks, invited us to go see the Braves and Philly's play in pure style.

Nay and Brandon won a content that not only included amazing seats, but also included parking passes and food - what could be better!

Here's a few memorable pics from the night out

Belated posts

Somehow September got away from us, but here's some highlights. We celebrated 2 birthdays:

Elizabeth's

and Mom's

I made Mom a Strawberry cake and we cooked out at Gretchen's house. Elizabeth had just celebrated her birthday the week before, so she thought all those shiny wrapped presents were for her! Here's a few pics.
