Getting To Know The Area!

To update everyone, we got to our apartment on Monday, and our cars got here later in the afternoon. It is now Friday,  the movers still have not arrived with all our stuff, and we are still not sure when it will get here.  Anyway, when we first arrived in our apartment  our cat (Subway) immediately fell in love with the bathroom tub, so much that she hung out there all day, and we thought it was so cute that we had to take a picture.  For the past couple of days we have been driving around to get to know the area just a little bit more.


Yesterday we went to Marietta Square to walk around, the big chicken,  and took a very long alternative route.  To explain further, Ryan has been making me drive around so I can get comfortable with the quick turns and crazy people.  On the way home yesterday he didn't want to tell me where to go so I took a lot of wrong turns and got home an hour later. 


Then, today we went down to Peachtree City and spent the afternoon there looking around the area.  It was fun to see such a cute town with so many golf carts, and we are seriously considering looking for a home there in the future.  Now, we are at a hotel for the next couple of days until our stuff arrives.

I thought I'd see you one more time before you left. I didn't hear when your last day at work was! Well, best of luck. It sounds like you are jumping right in. Are you glad you got a nice dose of winter before you went south?

Hello, I'm glad you made it ok. Ryan, buy Heather a GPS. I wouldn't have made it around Fort Worth, Texas without it. Now I don't need it as much but it kept me from getting lost....Love ya both.

I'm so glad you got there safe! Hopefully your stuff gets there soon. I miss you like crazy. It was weird seeing people moving into your house. I second the GPS thing. Jeff bought me one for Christmas and we wouldn't have survived last summer without it.

Looks like you are having fun! I've heard great things about Atlanta from the Olson girls, and I'm sure you will continue to love it! Enjoy your time out there and come back West soon!

I absolutely adore that picture of you! You look so gorgeous! Whoot whoo!!! :o) It's a bummer your stuff hasn't arrived yet. Did you pay for a guaranteed arrival? If so, I hope you get your money back. Good luck with getting to know the area and all. How exciting!
