Surrogate Family

Living about 13 hours away from our family has been an adjustment- especially missing out on time with our nieces and nephews! One thing that has made this adjustment easier- and moving to Georgia overall easier- is our friends, Bob & Janice. The thing is- they are in the same boat- moving with Heatcraft etc- except they just had a baby in January. So we get to be Austin's Aunt Leisa & Uncle Luke! All of our Georgia friends have been great- Easter dinner @ the Campbells, Farkle with the Harpers! We are thankful and promise to get home soon to meet our new niece, Lana Rose.

Jayme Lee's Wedding

We enjoyed a quick trip home for my cousin, Jayme's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding with a fun vintage flare. Jayme and Tim are such a perfect fit! And to top it off- they're going to The Price Is Right on their honeymoon!! I hope they get on!

Cooling Down

Well, I heard it might freeze in Illinois this week. We, on the other hand, are just beginning to enjoy our 6-7 months of fall. Winter never really comes to south Georgia.... and I'm ok with that. It's still fairly warm during the day- but last night there was a cool breeze on the back porch and someone in the neighborhood was burning something- ahhhh....the smell of fall. I even picked up some apple cider. So, when the harsh northern winter has got you down- just remember that you are always welcome to come and sit on our front porch. Direct flights from Bloomington to Atlanta!
