August

August was quite a busy month. Let's see where to start.  At the beginning of the month Jeremy got a call back to a school he interviewed for at the beginning of June (yes folks a callback 2 months later!). It is a long story, but basically they had some organizational shifting which is why they took so long to offer him the position. He is now working at a science and technology charter school in Alpharetta. He just finished his second week of school, and besides the drive, it is an amazing place to work. It is the exact opposite of his last school in many ways. We were a little unsure of how it would be for him to work at a charter school, but it has been the biggest blessing ever! If I told you the details you would agree that only God could have worked this out.

I'm not going to lie it has been a tough summer. Moving across states without jobs and a baby on the way isn't exactly a combination for a stress-less summer - ha!  Despite all the craziness though, we have so much to be thankful for. We live in a great house with the best roomies and are surrounded by loved ones.

At the beginning of the month we had to get away and with a beach more than 6 hours away there aren't many options. We decided a daytrip to Helen would have to suffice so off we went...

Probably the most interesting thing in Helen...

Actually, anything having to do with food is way more interesting these days ;)

 

Had to visit Babyland!!!

If you aren't familiar w/ Babyland it's where cabbage patch kids are born!!!

If J were a cabbage patch kid! 

It's quite hilarious visiting a baby doll factory when you are 7.5 months preggo. You get the funniest looks! When we walked in J actually asked one of the "Doctors" working there where the labor and delivery room was - you should have seen the look on his face...PRICELESS!

We celebrated J's bday at the Falcons v. Patriots game  - Thanks Bri and Chris!!!

Worked on Harper's nursery

Made our FIRST offer on a House...then quickly cancelled it after inspections (boo)!!!

Had an awesome baby shower- see last post!

Celebrated Bri and Chris's bdays

Went to see Jack Johnson - in the pouring rain!!!

And last, but definitely not least...we lost a member of our family this week. Bri and Chris have had Oscar for 7 years and he was the most wonderful boxer. As some of you know, a dog can be more than just a pet, and Oscar was their baby. He was loved by everyone and we will all miss you dearly buddy...
