Long time, no post! We FINALLY have internet!! That's right...13 days after we moved in. It has been so frustrating for us. We could live without cable for a week, but without internet I feel so disconnected to the world (the blog world inparticular). Moving has gone great-we are pretty much in. There is still crazy messes everywhere but at least it is somewhat settled. We love finally having a home of our own. There are still lots of things on my wish list, but that is part of the fun. I know it won't all come together in a day!
The last 2 weeks have been somewhat of a blur. John has been working every day and I have been trying to make some sense out of all the chaos of the house. Some days I would just give up and end up on the couch. John would come home and be like..."so, what did you do today?" :) I have started working part time at Shoefly, this shoe boutique in Homewood. It is something fun for me to do to keep from just sitting at home all day. I also start workshops for my new job at Liberty Park next week. So my summer is about to get busy.
We don't have very many neighbors yet, but we did meet a couple that is our age that moves in June 25. The guy was actually a fraternity brother of John's and I knew his wife sort of in high school-she went to Briarwood. She was also a pledge sister with Shealy at Auburn. So we are very excited to have a young couple three doors down from us! That is our biggest prayer-that we would meet young couples to hang out with and share this next phase of our life with...even though they will have pretty big shoes to fill since our friends in Auburn are SO great!
It is very strange being back in Birmingham. I love it, don't get me wrong. But it is just a very weird feeling. What was home to me for 18 years, now feels a little big. I know we will get used to it, but it is crazy to think that Auburn still feels a little like "home." I went to Auburn on Tuesday for a fun day with some of my girlfriends. We had lunch at my favorite Auburn spot, Big Blue Bagel, went to a movie, and then I ended up spending the night with Shealy so I was able to go to bible study. It was a lot of fun.
I promise by the end of the weekend to have some pictures up of the house. We are headed to Atlanta tomorrow for a wedding so we have a busy weekend but I promise I am officially back to blogging!
