Going Home

Eric will be leaving for Knoxville Saturday, 10-13 for the Clayton Home Show at the Convention Center. I'm sure he'll be seeing Mom, Aunt Pam, and Uncle Jim. I'll be heading up there Friday after work. So we'll both be in town the weekend of the 19th. Eric has to work the show Sunday from 9am to 9pm and then we'll be Athens bound again. Every time Eric says he has good news, I hope to hear "they're moving us back to Knoxville"...but it hasn't happened yet. It's just not that time. In all honestly we're doing great here. I've made friends out in the workforce and ate at some really cute restaurants in the Square (downtown). Yummy...

Workin' Momma!

For those of you that have tried contacting me...I'm sure you've figured out that I have a job. Yep! I'm not at home anymore during the day or even the evening. I've been working really late hours to get the workload done. As most of you know the PUBLIC relies on the newspaper, which means our department has daily deadlines. We design the ads that get sold and also layout certain sections of the paper EVERYDAY. I'm hoping we'll get to the point to where we can start getting ahead a little bit and I can make it home a little earlier. After work tonight we headed down to the Cells of Terror. It's a haunted jail that they've fixed up and are charging $15 a head. I was so excited to go, but thought it would be smart to ask if pregnant women could go through and they recommended that I didn't...so we left. It sounded and looked really good. There weren't any little kids there at all, so I guess it would've been really good. I guess I can kiss the haunted houses goodbye this Halloween. That's okay though...I will do anything for this little one. I'll talk to you guys soon!

Getting Settled In...

Eric and I are finally getting settled in. We spent most of the day yesterday unpacking the rest of the boxes inside and today after church we unpacked boxes in the garage. We finally have everything organized so we can park our cars in the garage. Oh, we also had to move our mailbox back from where we had it because people kept hitting it. It wasn't right on the road but I guess it was too close for comfort for the ones that had lost their passenger-side mirror. Eric said, "Since I've moved it, if they hit it now, they've been drinking and messing up their car with our mailbox will be the least of their concerns by the end of the day!"

Tomorrow at 9am I have to be at the local newspaper, The News-Courier, for an interview for their ad designer position. Then I have an appointment with my new doctor in Decatur at 1:30. It's going to be a busy day for me tomorrow. I'll keep you guys posted on what the outcomes are of each.

Me & The DW Girls

After a wild goose chase around Knoxville with John Mashburn we finally got back to the office. My thoughtful friends at DW had gotten together and decided to throw me a going away party / baby shower. I had a great time...thank you so much everyone!

Moving to Alabama

Eric and I will be leaving Tennessee, Monday evening after closing on our house. We are going to miss our family and friends a lot, but we'll be back soon!

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We love you all!
