New place!!!!!

Shaun and I are currently in the process of moving to a new place in Marietta! We had a few bumps along the way trying to find a place, but we stumbled upon this awesome home after we were feeling a little defeated. So, it was meant to be!!! It's in a great neighborhood of Marietta (a house a few houses down from us is being sold by Sotheby's....ooooo) and it's right across the street from a dog park!!!! The front part of the house is a 1 bedroom apartment, and our part is the back and it has 2 bedrooms. This is a view from the back driveway looking at our front door.
We also get the detached two car garage and storage space above the garage.
This is the awesome fenced in backyard. Annie and Texas are gonna love it!
This is the first room you walk into - we are making it our dining area.
Here is the gigantic kitchen. The washer and dryer hookups are in the kitchen (eek! but that's the way it is with old houses!) so anyone have any good ideas for camouflaging them?
Here is the view from the kitchen into the main living space. BTW, the floors in the kitchen, dining and living are Pergo! Practically undestroyable by puppies!
Here is the bigger hallway bathroom.
Master bedroom. Also, all the ceilings are 12 feet! And new carpet in the bedrooms!
This is a view into the hallway. Yes, there are 6 closets for storage!!!!
Oh wait, here's another closet in the hallway!
This is the tiny bathroom off the 2nd bedroom. It's all brand new, but you can barely turn around in it. :)
This is the smaller 2nd bedroom, which will be our office. Notice the built ins! It also has another closet. Are you keeping count? We have, like, 9...plus a pantry!
So there it is! Back to moving before it gets too blazingly hot here in the A-T-L!

Crater Lake



It was a little rainy and overcast the day we went...but it was still spectacular!
We ate lunch at the lodge. BTW, this was, like, the 4th take of this picture of Mom and Pop. Durr!
Now, here's a couple that can mug for the camera ! :)
Cute tiny animal!
Facebook pic! LOL!

Trip to OR!

This is when we were still happy on an airplane. This was a very brief moment in the course of our travels. Also, it takes 20 minutes to tell the story of how bad getting to OR was. Totally not joking.
We ended up in Portland first. There is a coffee house on every corner. We stayed with Shaun's friend from middle school, Farley. Portland's got great food, a great vibe, and we could definitely go back there!

Then we went to Medford/Phoenix/Talent/Ashland and Jacksonville. Shaun says that they entire economy on the valley subsists on coffee shops and spiritual healers. Also, the day we got back to GA, he complained that there was no Dutch Brothers. :)
Trolley in Jacksonville.
