We have moved again!


Are you surprised?!?! You shouldn't be. It is only Paul and I's 6th move since we got married 3 years ago. We have moved into a fun neighborhood called "Berkley Park" http://www.berkeleypark.org/in which we hope to buy into next year. We are literally smack in the middle of Atlanta in the Industrial district. We love it and so do the dogs. They now have a big backyard to run around and explore and we now have more then one closet! yeah. The one down fall to this house that I discovered on Monday morning is that there is no outlet in the bathroom! Grrr. I now have to blow dry my hair in our living room. But, that is what you get when a house was built in 1920. We still have an extra bedroom and we would love for any of you to come and stay. Here is our new address in case any of you should need it:


768 Antone St. NW

Atlanta, GA 30318


Take Care,

Erin

The craziness of Michael Vick


I don't know how much everyone else is talking about Michael Vick, but here in Atlanta, that seems to be all the people are talking about. As I am sure most of you know, Michael Vick just plead guilty to raising and fighting dogs in his home. It crazy to me how much people just worship professional athletes. Many people, for some crazy reason assume that because someone is good at sports, that it makes them a good role model. Oh, what a wake up call. I just read an article that made me laugh. Angry fans, in protest to Vick, have begun to mail their Jerseys to Atlanta human societies for dogs to use as beds, toys and rags. Oh so funny. This is yet one more reason Paul and I don't watch or support and major athletic teams. If the world could take the amount of time they invest in major league sports and instead volunteered, worked, relaxed, exercised or spent some time with God, I think the world would be a better place. Yep, that is what I think. Oh, and did I mention that at the local Domestic Violence shelter in ATL, (where we sometimes volunteer) the kids room was donated by Michael Vick and so there is a huge painted portrait of him on the wall? What message is this sending to these kids? Ok. I feel better now :)

Atlanta's little Chinatown



I am sorry it has been so long since we have written. We have not been up to very much lately. Paul and I ventured out this weekend to see a part of Atlanta we had yet to visit, the little Chinese district of Atlanta. I was amazed at this little part of town. Everything was written in Chinese. The hot, humid air and smells defiantly took me back to Asia. We drove around trying to decide where to eat. We finally picked this old little strip mall with some awesome Chinese food. We even tried duck for the first time. It was a good time. And is about it for now! And I couldn't really find any pictures, so here is a picture of Miss. Chinatown Atlanta for your viewing pleasure.
