New House & Summer Plans!!!

So we got moved... and we LOVE the new place... especially the fact that it has WINDOWS! Maggie has adjusted well and we just love being here. Heather wants to get into gardening a bit- since we have somewhat of a yard to work with- I love going to the Home Depot- so its a win-win situation! ;)

This summer is going to be a busy one for us! We've got our 1 year anniversary coming up in a week- we are really excited. No big trip or anything this year, which is sad, but we're going to the beach with my family later, so that will have to do for this year. I found out last night that we are staying in the same hotel that we stayed in for our honeymoon. It will be nice to go back- though it def. will not be the same.

We've also got VBS- Heather and I are in charge of decorating for it... that is going to be craziness. Then Caswell- which we both look really forward to every year- especially this one! Heather is getting a summer job to pay for a conference she wants to go to--- that should be lots of fun for her! :) Im going to be working in my office at the church a lot more- getting stuff done now while I have the time.

We'll keep everyone posted as things happen. Hope that you are doing well!

WE ARE MOVING!!!!

Yep, we have decided to move. We're not going far- actually just right down the road. Its a much nicer NEIGHBORHOOD(it will be nice to live in one of those)AND we get our own driveway and back patio! On top of that, we have lots of light (what will we do with windows in our living room?), higher ceilings, a fireplace, an extra bedroom, a yard and new appliances! Sure we'll have to pay a bit more- but its safer and that is great. They allow us to have Maggie and the landlord is really cool!

We sign the lease this Friday so we can start moving everything but the lease won't go into effect until April 1.

I know it will be sad to leave our first house behind, but we are moving somewhere nicer and safer.

PICS TO COME! ;)

New Addition to Our Family!

We got a dog! She is a two year old German Shepard/Terrier Mix - SHE IS SMALL! ;) Her name is Maggie and we adopted her from the Wake County Animal Center in Raleigh...

The last time I (Lawrence) was at that place, my mom and I were dropping off my favorite dog Mandy (a black lab) who could not stay in the fence at home.... we dropped her off when I was in 8th Grade...

She is house trained and does not bark- which is good! She is also very sweet!

We will post pictures soon!

New Grill and Winter Formal

This week has been a whirlwind. Heather has been busy with work and Ive had school- only one more full week and then Thanksgiving break and exams- then CHRISTMAS BREAK! I cant wait!

We bought a grill- finally. One of those things that we've been meaning to do since the beginning of our marriage, but have not until now. Its just a little charcoal number but it gets the work done and grilled some pretty good steaks the other night!

Tonight we went to Winter Formal @ Campbell. It was in the brand new Convocation Center- the theme was "A Christmas to Remember" and they had it decorated with Christmas type stuff. It was nice to get out and do something, though there were not a ton of people there. There was a live band that played older songs and Heather and I had a great time.

Heather is headed three hours away from home tomorrow night because she the football team where she works made it to playoffs and so she will not be home until the early morning hours Saturday- so Ill be around with not much to do and will prob. go to my office and get some much needed work done!


This weekend is going to be pretty busy because we have a youth fundraiser Saturday morning- we will be raking leaves for some elderly people (bet Heather will be half awake for that one) and then a church-wide fundraiser (Harvest Sale) Sat. night. It should all be fun but I bet we'll both be worn out by the time Sat. night rolls around.

For those who are reading- thanks! Feel free to post some comments if you want!
