8 Months 27 days of Wedded Bliss...

Well, according to my countdown clock Chris and I have been married for 8 months and 27 days. So far , our first year has gone extremely well. We have enjoyed living in the same city for the first time in our going on 6 year (yikes!) relationship. Sharing an apartment was just icing on the cake!

We have spent the year living right in the middle of the city. Our apartment overlooks Peachtree Street and I-85. Never in a million years did I think I would live in Atlanta. Much less right in the middle of the city! Ive had to get used to going to sleep to the sound of the interstate underneath my window...instead of the crickets Ive enjoyed the past 25 years of in Warrenton....Some days when I get off the interstate and I see the Atlanta skyline I have to remind myself it is real, and this is my life. Ive never been quiet sure that I was a good fit for city life...and Im still not sure. I miss the quiet summer nights in Warrenton....I miss seeing my parents every day....but, so it is with the adjustment period.

While we arent quite sure if we are ready to say goodbye to city life, our rising rent has forced us to move again...just one year later. We are moving about 20 miles outside Atlanta....which will put me 20 miles closer to work...(but Chris 20 miles further away....) Our rent is drastically less expensive...and we know its the best move for us. We are getting a larger place for less money....so, over all we are exicted!

In other news, we got a cat. Both of us left our cats with our parents. Chris was sad to leave the TWENTY year old Gizmo behind, but knew the move wouldnt be good for her. I hated to leave my beloved Rosie, (she is 11) but she would never be happy away from "her" house. So, around April we got us a "city kitty" . Her name is Lucy and she is really silly and sweet! She bites a lot, but she makes us laugh. She howls at our bedroom door at 7:00 a.m. every morning wanting us to get up and play with her.....She also likes to sit in the windows and watch the traffic on the interstate. She has just now taken to wanting to go on the porch with us, and play with the moths! When Chris is working late, I enjoy having some company.





That is our little update...I know no one reads this, but I enjoy looking back later on and seeing what we were doing.

To internet world.....



Keeping Rocking and Rolling!
