Happy 50th Dad!
We had a surprise 50th birthday party for my Dad yesterday! We had most of the family and lots of friends over to my parents house for some good ole NC bbq, fried chicken, slaw, potato salad, hush puppies, baked beans, etc... and a delicious cake! It was a lot of fun... especially the sideshow with tons of embarrassing pics of Dad through the years, hehe.

We moved!!!
We just got our internet hooked up yesterday... that's right, 4 whole days without the internet. I thought I was going to die.
The closing went well on Friday and we moved in on Saturday. Just a few minor set backs along the way but no major problems so far. We still have quite a few boxes to unpack but overall it looks great in here! We are going to start painting and decorating next week and I can't wait! I'm so excited to give the house a make-over and make it mine!!
On a funnier note... we introduced our indoor-only kitty to the great outdoors and she has proven to be quite the princess. She is refusing to walk across the grass at this point, it apparently feels funny to her soft, sensitive, INDOOR paws... she would rather sit in the garage for 8 hours than run around and play in the yard. She just sits and cries at the door to come in or sleeps on the stairs. Bless her heart, she acts so deprived. I've already explained to the neighbors about the situation so they don't think we are evil. She WILL learn to love the outdoors!
I will post pics soon, I promise!

Softball and moving
Kyle's softball team from church was in a local tournament yesterday. Kyle was at the ball fields from 8:30am-8:30pm...long day! I went for the first two games and came back home with a friend. They won a couple of games though and had a really fun time. This officially ends their softball season until next spring though. :/
Friday night was super exciting though, we went and bought a new fridge and stove for the new place! We got a good discount and free delivery, whoo hoo! I love the ones we picked out though, I can't wait to cook on my brand new stove. There's just something about new appliances, even going into an older house, it feels new to me... and like it's really my own. We decided to go with black appliances since the new microwave the sellers put in was black and the dishwasher is black... I don't like white... and stainless steel was a little more than I wanted to pay for ALL new appliances. So black it is.
We have a walk-though of the house on Wednesday, we close on Friday and move in on Saturday! Yipee! =)

July 4th!
We had a super fun weekend in Atlanta visiting some of my family!
We got there Friday afternoon and cooked out hamburgers and hot dogs of course! The weather was so nice we spent most of the evening outdoors playing redneck golf and lounging in the hammock. I got to meet my cousins new baby, Nevaeh. She is only 3 weeks old and she is totally precious! I held her most of the time, hehe... yes, I'm a baby hog.
Saturday we headed out to the lake! My uncle has an awesome boat and he was nice enough to ride us all around all day. We all attempted tubing and some of the brave ones did the wake boarding, I'm too weak to handle that one. It was a beautiful day though, couldn't ask for better weather in July!!! After a long day at the lake we decided not to mess with the craziness in Peach Tree City and opted instead for some smaller fireworks at the house. And my aunt made some homemade ice cream... strawberry and rocky road! Oh my! I was in heaven, forget the fireworks, give me the ice cream. It was still great fun and it makes it so much more fun when you have little kids running around and getting all excited! :) Too bad there wasn't a Braves home game this weekend, but Kyle did get to watch his NASCAR, that was one crazy finish if anybody else out there saw it too! Anyway...it's totally worth the 8 hour trip there and back to spend an awesome time with an awesome family!
We hope everyone else had a wonderful time celebrating our country's independence! Happy 4th of July!
This was so relaxing
Me and sweet Nevaeh
