moving. omg.

We are moving to Athens, GA on November 13th. AAAAHHHHH

We signed a 14 month lease on Sunday. Holy crap. I'm so nervous / excited. Happy / sad.

Happy:
--We can not WAIT to get out of this god-awful town. Can't wait to be somewhere with culture and shit to DO, restaurants that aren't part of a shitty chain, live music everywhere, art everywhere, beautiful scenery, other young families all over the place, and just.. not a shitty military town in the middle of south GA.
--Casey & Galen both live there.. so Bailey and I will have a close sibling right there already.. And Maddox will get to know his aunt & uncle even better.
--There are young children all over our new neighborhood.
--I'll be working again!

Sad:
--Leaving Mama & April and being 4 hours away. I know it's only 4 hours but now that I have a child, that seems like a million miles. I never minded being far away so much before. I'm going to miss Mama just dropping in randomly & Maddox yelling "MIMI!!!!" when he sees her car pull up outside.
--Not living RIGHT NEXT DOOR to April anymore. She is like, my built in best friend. :[ What am I going to do when I have a breakdown, or she has a breakdown, or I need some cornstarch or sugar or bacon or whatever I forgot to buy at the store?
--PAYING RENT AGAIN! Boo. That was the best part about living in a house that my Grandaddy built.
--As excited as I am to be working again.. I am not looking forward to missing Maddox all day. :[ I'm also terrified of putting him in preschool. He needs to be around other children more though.. I have to keep telling myself that.

------------------------------------------------------

Anyway.
We went up this past weekend to look at houses, duplexes, townhomes & apartments.
We ruled out houses & townhomes pretty fast because the houses we were seeing in our pricerange were pretty ghetto lol.. and having a giant steep staircase as a main part of a townhome doesn't seem like the best idea with my clumsy child running around never looking where he's going.
We ended up finding an apartment complex that we LOVE. It has a playground (which is seriously like a 30 second walk from our front door.. yesssss), a gorgeous pool, fitness room (which is where I will be taking my fat ass at least every other night), and some other crap. There are a ton of kids! That makes me so happy. I hope Maddox likes his new house.
OH AND, we will finally have a dining room again. No more eating at the coffee table together. LOL. I'm also looking forward to having counter space in my kitchen again! :D

Blurry as hell because Casey apparently couldn't handle our camera.

The playground! Our walkway is the next one over. It's so close. :]

Sooooooo yeahhhh... there's that.

And now for some more random pics. :]

My husband is SUCH A CREEP.



I want one.


I love fall. Now if it would just start feeling like fall outside and STAY that way, I'd be really happy.

wishing & hoping

It's 79 degrees outside and it feels amazing. It's probably because it rained all night last night and it's supposed to rain all night again tonight... buuuuuut I'm really hoping it's just cooling down because it's AUTUMN.

It's my favorite season! :D

Jenine & I figured out what Maddox & Oliver are going to be for Halloween and we're all dressing up.

I CAN'T WAIT.

Dear weather,
Please please please stay cool so we can spend all day outside again. We miss it.
Love,
Ginny
