We are on the Move!

I started this post a few months ago and never finished it. Time just got away from me and now I feel like I am so far behind on updates. So much has happened that I might just have to do a post with all pictures to summarize our time but none the less I need to start with the move. So I will start with the original post.

Yep that is right we are in the process of saying goodbye to Fairhope/Mobile area. It is very bittersweet for us. Not only to we absolutely love where we live this place is where our family began. It was the first place Chad and I lived together, it is where we added our dog Baxter, and the place where our children were born. So you ask why are we moving...well Chad got a big promotion so that means we are getting transferred. Words cannot express how proud I am of him. He has worked so hard to do his best at his job and then also do his best to be at home and be a great dad and husband. All the hard work he has done has really paid off and it gives not only him more opportunity it gives our family more opportunity as well. And we thank him for it! We knew our days here would not be forever but I would be lying if I didn't say were are a little sad to be leaving now. I know our children may not remember everything about this place so I wanted to put together a little list of things we will miss about where we live now.

1) We will miss our many trips to the beach during the summer because it really is so close

2) We will miss morning walks by the bay especially in the spring and fall with these views

3) We will miss breakfast at the Grand in Point Clear on Sunday

4) We will miss our summer days at the Lakewood pool

5) We will miss dinner with this view

6) We will miss not really needing a winter coat

7) I will miss driving across the bay every morning. Even though I was heading to work there is something about the peacefulness of the water in the morning that helps me to relax after rushing out the door to get the kids to day care on time.

8) We will miss the friendships we have made here. For us that is the Parks, the Denniston's (our nieghbors), the Howards, the McMilans, the Pharrs, the Middletons. For James that is Nick, Gianni, Hayden, Cameron, Emmie, Anna Kate (those are his school friends), Gordon, Hudson and Stella, Rush and Madeline, Atkins and Autry.

However our move to the "big city" brings us new things to do and new memories to make. We are excited to now be here in our new home in Peachtree City, Georgia. We are enjoying seeing our family more often and I am enjoying my time at home with the boys. Some days are better than others but all in all we are happy with our new life.
