From Boxes to Beautiful

So as far as moves go this one was a piece of cake! Mostly due to my wonderful Mother and Aunt Carol keeping the girls for a couple of days while I got their rooms ready. The unpacking definitely went slower once they arrived, but Mom was still a huge help taking the girls out and working on projects with them so I could keep working. By the time she went home we had all the boxes unpacked, the pictures hung, and curtains on order. Now all we need is for Ben to come home!

So far Georgia is treating us well. Our neighborhood is quiet, the people are nice, we love feeding the black swans, and I have even played a little tennis.

Computer Desk

So everyone has probably figured out it takes me a while to decide about big ticket items and even longer when Ben and I have to agree on a style of something. So I had been on the hunt for a computer desk for our new place...I looked online, craigslist, stores, and finally decided it would be worth the drive to Jax to see one I might be interested in. Between lunch and the store we got a little lost and luckily happened upon an Office Depot. They had a desk that was the same finish as the one we were going to see, but a little smaller...I still headed to the original store and liked the Office Depot desk better so after our excursion to the beach and dinner we picked up the desk and headed for home.

So of course it is assembly required and has a million parts so this would need to be a project attempted after the girls are in bed. So my Mom and I start out about 9ish bringing it in piece by piece from the car because there is no way we can lift it. Luckily all the pieces were in the box and it went together quite easily as long as you read the directions...Mom.

Flashback Friday: DNA

So I was looking through some old photos that my Aunt Betty gave to me and found this one of me. Looks a lot like someone else I know.

Overheard: Modesty

Mommy - "How is your face today?"

Little Girl - "Pretty."

Facebook

So I joined myspace a while back and much to my friend Denise's dismay I didn't do much with my page because I have this fun blog. But a few weeks back while I was trying to fill some time I decided to sign up for Facebook because a couple of people had sent me notifications. Turns out Facebook is very fun! And much, much easier to find people. So if you want to check it out please invite me to be your friend :o)

P.S. It might be easier to find me under Ciezadlo.

Trip to Jacksonville

I am behind on posting, but we had such a fun day today I wanted to share! We were in need of a computer desk for the new house and there isn't much shopping in this cute tiny little town we now call home so my Mom and I loaded the girls in the car and headed for Jacksonville. What I thought would be a few hour trip turned into and all day excursion. We started with lunch at Red Lobster then hit up some stores, took a wrong turn, found more stores, went to the beach, got soaked, had to find more stores to buy dry clothes for the girls, stopped for a late dinner at Micky D's, bought the desired computer desk and headed home. Whew!

Here are some photos from the beach.
