The before pictures of our new house!

Here is our new house! It is so exciting its finally ours. (Actually, we won't own it for 30 years, but we are working on that Dave Ramsey!) Below are some before pics for Paul and I and for you all to see the progression of the house. Right now our contractor is on vaca, so unfortunately, not much will happen in the next week :( Enjoy thinking to yourself "what did they get in to?" Because that is what I am thinking right about now!

Our 5th Anniversary!

Paul and I were able to take a little trip to Charleston, SC for our 5th anniversary. It rained a lot, but we tried to get outside anytime the rain let up. Charleston has so much history and such cool houses! Paul and I got so many ideas for our new home. The hotel we stayed in gave us cruisers which were so much fun to just ride around the city. And talk about some amazing southern cooking! I got shrimp and grits at one little place that were to die for! It was a good thing we had those bikes to ride because all we did was eat while we were there! There are so many things Paul and I have grown to love in south including the amazing food, the amount of history, and the all that southern charm!

A weekend trip with some great friends!

Over the past weekend, Paul and I were able to spend a few days at the beach with some great friends that we lead in a small group at Buckhead Church. We had a great time just hanging out with some of the people we love and got some well needed R&R as well as got some sunshine and ate lots of yummy seafood! It was a pretty dang good weekend :) That is, except for Paul's deep sea fishing escapade. He went out with the other guys and had a pretty miserable 4 hours of throwing up over the side of the boat! Poor guy, I felt so bad! I knew he got some motion sickness from time to time but now I know we need to drug him up before hitting the sea! He recovered after about a 3 hour nap.

Erin, me and Joanna enjoying the sun!

Hooray for sandcastles

Ahh! A little R&R for my hard-working man!

A little walk along the beach one morning. It defiantly looks like we just rolled out of bed!

The Big 6 Great Date Experiment!

Paul and I have now been attending North Point Community Church for the past 3 years. They always have cleaver new ministries for people in every stage of life. And a new one for the marrieds is, The Big 6 Great Date Experiment. Once a month for 6 months the church challenges all married couples to go a date following their specific instructions for the date. It has ended up being a lot of fun with times of reflection, learning new things about one another and most importantly, just spending some quality time with each other. We have greatly enjoyed it so far and we look forward to our next big great date. This week we tossed the Frisbee around, asked silly questions to one another, went out for some yummy Mexican, I had to scream in public that Paul was a hottie and had to pick out a dessert for one another that we thought the other had never tried (this is very hard for a couple who has an extreme sweet tooth). Below are some pics we took to send into the church (as part of our assignment) and a link that has one of the dates. You and your spouse should try it out :)

We went to this crazy restaurant called the Bone Garden Cantina.
Very different from Paul and I's norm!
