Moving on up....

Once again, it has been almost two months and once again I will apologize. I would say that it wont happen again, but obviously we all know that wont be the case (haha).

A reader's digest version of what's going on with Shay and Ethan:

Shay has finished her dance season and will be moving up to the next level when she starts back....way to go Shay! She will also begin pre-K at the beginning of next school year which is both exciting and scary! Within the last few weeks she has really begun to mature, picking up her toys the first time she is asked and feeding her brother, just to be helpful. While she does occasionally need an 'attitude adjustment' (as my Daddy always called it) she is still turning out to be a well-mannered, well-behaved little person.

Ethan has graduated from the army crawl into a 25mph hand and knee crawl. He may as well be a bull-dozier because he plows right through and over anything that gets in his way. He is always so happy, except of course if you take his food away or don't give him food the second that he decides he wants it (he is related to me, so this is slightly expected).

We have been taking out our pontoon boat more often lately and that makes for some relaxing and fun times, as well as two little coppertone kids (even with 70 spf!?!?). Also, we made a trip to Georgia for Memorial Day Weekend and stayed with my sister Becca in Tifton. That Saturday we made the excessively long drive to Savannah and enjoyed looking at all of the old buildings, the railroad museum and we ate at The Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant). We all had a great time and got to spend time with Tomi and Alicia and my Mom and Dad and brother, Ty.

Georgia leads me to my next point.....
Our trip there gave us the fever to live somewhere a little quieter and a lot more laid back. After much discussion and investigation, we decided to 'check into' moving. The city of Waycross, Ga has a large train yard that David can transfer to and as I will be graduating in August, have a whole other field of jobs that I can look into. Another plus is that the land is ridiculously cheap and what we want out of life seems more tangible. So the 'checking into' quickly became a 'we are going to' when David's job said he would be transferred within the next few weeks! So, we are beginning an adventure and don't really know a whole heck of a lot about what exactly we are doing. What we do know is that we are all excited and know that everything happens for a reason. To use my (stolen/borrowed) life motto: It is what it is.

I will keep everyone updated and will post some new pictures sometime soon. Until then....
