It's Official...We're Moving

Well, things are finally falling into place, and it's official now...Monica and I are moving to the Athens area (Crawford to be exact) the first week of November. Now begins the frantic rush to get the house packed up, tie up some loose ends, wrap things up at our current places of employment (thankfully we're transferring to the Athens versions of our respective stores), and move our plethora of person belongings two hours or so to the north-east.

For those of you who are interested (or haven't seen it before), this is the crazy place we're moving to. It's an old farmhouse built circa 1858, that used to serve as the Parsonage for the town of Crawford. It's got a lot of character, and Monica and I fell in love with it the moment we saw pictures of it (and even more so when we actually went to check it out in person.) It needs some work here and there, but I think it will be a place that we'll both be happy in, and somewhere we can entertain family and friends alike.

So the clock is ticking, and the countdown is on. Halloween will be my last day at the local OfficeMax (and Monica's last day at Home Depot will be around that time too.) Then we move into the new place the first week of November. We should start our "new" jobs the following week.

We plan to have a Thanksgiving get-together for family and friends at the new place on the day after Thanksgiving (or possibly 2 days after Thanksgiving, to make it a Saturday), so stay tuned for more information on that. We're going to miss our family and the friends we've made in and around Acworth, but know this...we'll be less than 2 hours away, and you're welcome to stop by the new place for a visit. Just let us know when you're coming, and we'll leave the light on for you. (Yeah, I know, that's been used and is copyrighted I'm sure, but it's much easier than finding your way in the dark! lol)

So come join us as we transition into a new phase of our lives, and thanks to all of you out there who have supported us and befriended us over the last 3 years here in Acworth. Enjoy the rest of your week, and this wonderful weather, and thanks for stopping by. Peace.
