Update!

Sorry no pictures right now. The chaos that has ensued in our life has forced the camera to the back burner.
The Bad:
We arrived at our new rental home in Berkeley Lake with the entire family (DM, Tahoe, Millie, and my mom) in tow for the inspection to discover the home was about to go into foreclosure - not a place we wanted to rest our heads during the year that we're trying to calmly get settled back in to life in Atlanta with Darsey May.
The Good:
- Within 48 hours of putting our house on the market in Memphis, we had a contract! If all goes well early this week, the deal will be done. Very bitter sweet!
- We have the BEST moving crew who has been quite understanding! We're already talking to them about moving us out of the rental when we buy a house.
- David works for a company that has been supportive of our nightmarish situation.
- We also have family and friends who have taken us in for dinners / clothes washing. (I only packed enough stuff for myself and DM for two days.)
- And most importantly, we found a new rental in Roswell that is a MUCH better fit for us. It is just a walk from the Chattahoochee, has TONS of walking / running trails, and the owner lives right in the neighborhood. Now, it is quite contemporary and will provide much entertainment over the next year, but it is still a great house that will be a good fit for us while we get settled. Our belongings arrive at 8:00 am sharp and we get to check out of the hotel. I am so excited!
Promise to post house and DM pictures soon.

Happy Easter!

The Redeemer - This video has been around a while but is worth watching again, especially if you're a Christian, a parent, or an athlete that is feeling lazy.

Nursery bones

Several people have asked for pictures of the nursery. Unfortunately, we didn't get it finished before we had an idea we may be moving. We still need to hang shelving and put out accessories, but here are the "bones" of DM's room that she'll never live in.




Mimi comes to visit!

My mom spent last week with us as we prepared to get the house on the market. She was a HUGE help watching Darsey May while David and I prepared to put the house on the market. Thank Mom! We're planning to put it on the market about a week before the moving van arrives. David goes to Atlanta to seek shelter for us in Atlanta this week. :) We'll rent while we get settled and search for the "perfect" house that we hopefully won't have to move out of for years.

For this day, we have prayed!

It's official! We'll call Atlanta home by the end of April.
