A Weekend in Savannah

Last weekend started with a Day in Beaufort with Eric's great aunt and uncle.  On Friday evening we drove back from Beaufort to Savannah.  We met David and Paige and their little man, Zach, out for Mexican.  I can never say no to queso or guacamole. It was an early night for all of us.


Saturday we went to Sunny Side Up for breakfast. It's a greasy strip mall dive, and a must every time we're in Savannah.  Zach enjoyed a side of toast but Evie couldn't get passed the delicious menu.



 After breakfast we took the kids back to the house for naps and we got ready for the day.  That afternoon we headed to the park for a picnic lunch.  The afternoon started out perfectly sunny, but ended up with a little sun shower.










David got called in to work, so we packed up and drove to downtown Savannah.  David went into the office for about an hour and the rest of us went to River Street for a stroll and pralines

That evening we had a cookout by the pool and watched the Braves game. (Oh how I miss live television!)  Paige and I stayed up late talking about the babies and our post-baby bodies.  It's been so nice having someone to journey through pregnancy with.

Sunday morning we made a tasty breakfast and went to Mass.  We grabbed Zaxby's Zalads on the way back to their house.  The kids played a little while we packed and the moment it was nap time we strapped Evie in the car seat and headed back to Atlanta.

It was hard to say good-bye to our little Godson, but since both babies were full blown sick by this point, it was time to head our separate ways for some good rest.



We got back to Atlanta just in time for some exciting news....

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...
