We have been adjusting to life here on the East coast, taking baby steps...well, I'm taking baby steps and Joe is still hiding in the whomb! Change is a funny thing ya know? As much as my hubby and I are alike, we difinately deal with change on the oposite side of the spectrum. I am surprised at how I deal with making these large moves in my life, coming from country living where I thought I would build a house next to my parents and raise a family of 12...and hopfully have a goat! Ha, you think I'm kidding?! Anyway, moving to CA was a definite change, but I seemed to mold into my new life. So, moving to GA has been a little more challenging, but fun and exciting none the less. Of course I miss our amazing family and friends, but this is where we are now and I tend to grab hold of it and don't let go. Joe is the opposite, complete opposite. He misses CA like a dog misses his master. He is getting better though, he just has a really hard time with change. Maybe this is where the whole "opposites attract" thing comes into play. I mean, could you imagine if I cried in my cheerios everyday to go back, we would be a disaster. One big positive is that our home is coming along great. I've painted everything but the bathrooms and bedrooms...which means I still have a lot to paint. I planted some flowers in the 104 degree heat last week...I'm pretty sure I blacked out at one point, but a country girl never quits. We have installed ceiling fans, light fixtures and purchased many new things for the house. It's feeling more and more like home everyday.
Our first visitors were the Jankord clan! Gordy, Frances, Rob, Rachel, Jaiden and Chase come to visit over Memorial Weekend. We had so much fun spending time with everyone, especially our neice and nephew!
Jaiden sitting in her "pool" she made, Hilton Head Island
Night out for dancing in downtown Savannah, @ BAR BAR
A day at our neighborhood pool, Joe and Chase
He wasn't sure he wanted in the water at first, but he ended up loving it!
Rachel and Frances with the kiddos!
@ The Crab Shack in Tybee Island, they loved seeing the alligators and being able to feed them!
Low Counrty Boil
Joe did NOT enjoy his first Craw Daddy experience...it was rather gross!
We went with Gordy, Frances and Jaiden on a tour of Savannah. It was so hot and poor Jaiden fell asleep on me for over an hour...I'm pretty sure I lost a gallon of sweat on this trip!
Fishing! Jaiden had a bite right when we were leaving...little sucker got away!
Last night in Savannah with Gordy and Frances, dinner @ Vics on the River
It's always so wonderful when family comes to visit! We hope ya'll can all come again soon!
