A big step....

Hubs will be done with his residency at the end of June and after what has seemed like eternity, we have finally decided to take a leap of faith and accept an offer in South GA.  We are extremely excited about this new journey, anxious about the future, and sad to leave our Virginia home that we've loved so much (me- my entire life) and Hubs (almost 8 years).  We are ready to start that next chapter in our lives and grow together as a family!

So....that leaves a list of things that we have to get done before moving the first of July!!! YIKES!!
-Sell/Rent our townhome
-Build/furnish/decorate a new home in South GA
-Find a medical office for Jarod to start seeing patients in August
-Hire office staff
-ME- find a job!
-PACK! ugghhhh....
-UNpack!
-prepare ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically for the change

We went out the other weekend to pick out furniture for the new house (because let's face it, everything we have now is from college or before and we need new pretty stuff to go in the new pretty house :)  Here are some pics of the furniture we've picked out (unless I change my mind, which I have been known to do from time to time)

Master bedroom furniture

 Formal Sitting room furniture

 Two of these sofas for the "step down" room (living room)

Jarod's "Man" chair for the step down room

TV console for step down room

Dining room table (not getting the big hutch)

So I need some help (not sure if anyone even reads this honestly besides Jarod)!!!  What color (s) should I use on the walls??  The house plan is very open so when you walk into the foyer, you see the dining room to your left and straight ahead is the formal sitting room with a fireplace...I need to have one main color and then an accent color in the dining room.  I don't know why but the paint color is really stressing me out....

Help!!! :) 

Hope everyone is having a great week!! I'm really wanting to see some SNOW today!

New Years Eve & Christmas #2

Since we were in Georgia for Christmas, we spent New Years with my Mom and Dad.  My brother and his fiance were able to come up too! We all went to the Hotel Roanoke for their New Years Eve celebration! We had a fabulous meal and danced the night away with the band "The Kings"! 

Hope Everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season!

Christmas 2010

So I'm a little behind on my blogging, but better late than never right?? 

This was the first Christmas that Jarod had off, so we drove down to Valdosta to spend Christmas with Jarod's parents and family!  It was my first Christmas in Valdosta!

Better late than never?!?

Hubs & I had the opportunity to take a trip to San Francisco back at the end of October for a medical conference he had to attend, so we jumped on the chance and had a FABULOUS time!! We were there for 5 full days and even though Jarod went to many of the conference lectures, we were still able to get out and enjoy the city!  Here's some pics from our trip...

 First day at Fisherman's Wharf!  Rainy cold day...
