Adventures in Atlanta

Well I've been reading over everyone's blog and I now want to do it too! Its fun to read whats going on with everyone and see all the pictures.


We've been living in Atlanta since June 16th and have been missing home like crazy. I'm not one of those people who needs to get away from family to find myself. I think I'm the exact opposite. I need my family because you guys are the only ones who get me. I miss you all.

Our kids are growing like weeds and Dallen isn't my little boy anymore. Kate either. Dallen goes to PreK out here at a local elementary which is five days a week and 8 hrs a day. For the first week I was LOVING it. It felt like so much freedom since Kate takes 2 naps a day. But now I'm missing him like crazy. He has a friend named Tommy. Which I've been trying to convince Dallen to call him "Tommy Boy"

Kate is walking full force and saying "Hi" to everyone she sees. She has the best little spirit about her and loves to fake smile at everyone. She has beautiful blue eyes and I think all the time I should get her into being a baby model and then maybe audition for some Disney Movies or maybe do some baby pagents... they are huge here in the south and we do need the scholarship money.

Chad loves his job and has made alot of good friends at work.

I'm making friends and avoiding the heat, missing the internet and cable TV and joining groups with ladies from the ward.

We bought a house and close on Oct 16th. I'll post some pictures once the lawn goes in and they move the porta potty away from the front of our house.

I'm still angry at you for moving away from me.

Hey Shellie~ I had no idea you moved away from Utah. Now we are both in the same boat. We live closer to each other now, even though I have no idea how far away we are. Maybe we should meet half way in one of the Carolinas for a weekend away. I am glad you got on the blog bandwagon too. It is a good way to keep in touch.

Shellie - looking forward to seeing pics of your house.

Do you speak with a drawl yet? Do you make peach pie?

Cute pics of the kids!

Yeah I haven't officially posted it yet, but we are really excited. Now you have to join us with baby #3. I think I am due around May 10th. Can't wait to see you. My mom said you were going to be here for like a month, so you will be here for Miranda's bridal shower that will be so much fun to play.
