BIG CHANGES AHEAD!!!

It has been forever and a day since I posted anything!! The kids had their 5 week break for the summer and they are already half way through the first 9 weeks of school, time flies!! They love their teachers this year and reconnecting with friends from last year and making new ones with all the new students at Thales this year.

We took a long weekend trip to Columbia,SC a few weeks ago and while Chris was working the baseball games at USC the kids and I headed over to the Riverbanks Zoo the first day and then the 2nd day we were there we headed to Spartanburg to see my friend Kellee, her hubby Patrick and their kids, Eli, Ethan, Emilee, Elliott, and the new twins Eden and Evan. We had a great weekend away and it was great to spend the afternoon with great friends!

Now on to the news...it has never been officially announced on here but lots of people already knew that Chris was laid off from his job last Oct after being with the engineering company for 13 years. After 10 + months of looking and interviewing everywhere from Houston to Norfolk to DC and right here in Raleigh he has been offered a job!!! He will be working for a structural engineering firm in Atlanta and we could not be more excited!! That means we are now purging our house and packing things and preparing to put it on the market as soon as possible and trying to do as much stuff around here as we can while Chris is still here.

My friend Jenna and her hubby Brent are in the Atlanta area and I am so excited to moving close to them!! Jenna has even hooked me up with a fabulous realtor already!! Chris has to be there to start work on Sept 8th and we will be hunting for a corporate rental for him this weekend. I pray that our house sells quickly and for the amount that we need it to sell for. The kids are excited that daddy has a new job and Camden is excited about being able to go to Braves games, the DIVA is not too excited about this impending move but I know she will handle it like a pro! I really like Atlanta and I look forward to turing a lot of my new friends into Gator fans, lol!!!

I have zoo pics to post and pics from the Cogdill's visit so be on the lookout!
