Back to Kernersville!

After a year of living in Whitsett, we have moved back to Kernersville! At the beginning of July, we knew our lease was coming to an end and decided, pretty spontaneously, to move back to Kernersville. We really loved living in there and we knew it was where we wanted to live eventually so we decided to go for it. We are really excited to be back and we love our new apartment!

The Move to Atlanta

We found out at the beginning of this year that my father-in-law's company was closing their Roanoke branch and relocating everyone to Atlanta. After many months of talking and planning Josh's parents and 2 sisters moved down there at the end of July. 

Before they left, we went up to visit one last time the weekend of July 4th and took these pictures in front of their house. This will be the only house that Josh's whole family will ever live in together. They moved there a few months before Josh's little sister Chloe was born. (Even I lived there for 2 months after Josh and I got married.) 

(Josh's sister Charity was in Korea for 6 weeks before they moved so she was not in these pictures.)

The weekend they moved down to Atlanta they stopped by our apartment. Matt ended up staying with us for the weekend but the rest of the family just came by for a pit stop. We snapped some family pictures which will be the last ones for a while.

We miss them already :(

Baby Gizzy

Last week was a very hard week. After Kitty had emergency surgery that did not make him better, we had to put him to sleep. :(  At first we thought we should wait a while before getting another cat... but after a day or two without Kitty we knew we needed another little kitty to love on.

We searched for kittens in the area on www,PetFinder.com and we were immediately drawn to this adorable girl named Gizmo. So on Friday I went to the Humane Society of Alamance County and picked up our baby! 

She is the sweetest, most adorable little kitten!

We love our baby girl!

Matt came to visit!

This is super late since Matt came to visit weeks ago... (the week after Mother's Day) but I already uploaded the pictures so here we go.  Josh went up to Roanoke to see his mom for Mother's Day and Matt came back home with him.

We met Josh for lunch almost everyday. :)

and took super cool jumping pictures...

and Kitty loved having Uncle at home with him all day while Josh and I were at work...

Thursday night we met up with friends to go see The Avengers and then went to Steak & Shake afterward. It was a fun night and we got home around 12:30 am.

Saturday we went to my parents house and then drove to Charlotte to go to IKEA!

Josh got a new desk that Kitty loved immediately.

Sunday, we drove halfway up to Roanoke and met their family at a Mexican restaurant in Martinsville to have dinner and drop Matt off. 

We had a fun week!

He's coming back on Saturday to cat sit while we go to the BEACH!!!!!

Woohoo!

Josh turns 26!

Josh turned 26 today! :) Matt came down to visit and we had Zack's for dinner and this cake after. Tomorrow the rest of their family is coming to town. It will be a good weekend!

XOXO

I love Fall

Some fall leaf pictures from mine and Josh's walk yesterday. :)

I love when the sun shines through like this.

We moved!

We have finally moved!!!

What a crazy last few days it has been! We finished packing everything up Friday night and moved Saturday. My parents and our lifegroup leaders from church came to help us pack up. Josh's mom and brother drove down from Virginia to help too. 

Once we got to the new place (and had a pizza break) we unloaded everything pretty quickly. Katie, Ethan, and their friend Cory came to help too. My parents took the truck to pick up our new (to us) washing machine; Josh, his brother and his mom worked on the office; Katie helped me unpack and organize the new kitchen; and Ethan and Cory put together our new Ikea sectional!!! We are so thankful for all of the help! We couldn't have done it without our family and friends! 

I was too busy and stressed to take pictures of anything that day, but luckily my mother-in-law and brother-in-law snapped a few pictures. 

Here's our new couch from Ikea!!

Our lease in our old place is not actually up for a couple more weeks so we went back Sunday (it's about 25-30 minutes away) to get food and clean the fridge and freezer. I didn't expect to be sad but I was. That was our first home together and I will really miss it. BUT I AM SO EXCITED to live in our new place. :) 

I'm so happy to be moved. We love it and can't wait to make this our new home!

XOXO
