Shame-Shame

I have been so bad about posting since I moved. I guess this is due to the fact we don't have internet yet. I am holding off since my new job is going to give me a computer. I can get on at work, but last week was pretty crazy since we had to submit a huge proposal to FedEx. I have not had time to even think about blogging.

The new place is fabulous! Things are coming along really well. Kelly and I have been getting along just like we did in Italy. Even with both of us being under the weather, we have managed to remain sweet. Speaking of, I cannot seem to shake this cough I have had for a week now. I think our vents need to be cleaned out or something. I don't feel bad, but I sound pretty bad. I guess there is really nothing to do except take Mucinex when you don't have insurance.

The weekend of the move was one of the busiest weekends I have had in a long time. I started moving in on Thursday, I closed on the house on Friday at 11:00, the furniture people delivered everything at 12:30, and we both moved in all day Friday and Saturday. I finally took a break Saturday night for some drinking at Hand-n-Hand with Kelly, her boyfriend Brandon, and his friend Dylan (pronounced Die-lan). The next morning I had to be in Marietta to do Leigh Cofer-Smith's makeup for her wedding. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful she looked. They were married outdoors at Zion Farms, just outside of Rome. The ceremony was beautiful apart from the photographer stalking the couple in the bushes like a paparazzi. She came out with all sorts of flora all over her...I had a hard time containing my laughter :) The reception was inside due to the fact that it "looked" like it might rain earlier in the day. Leigh and Jay did a great job picking out the food: ribs, slaw, potato salad, beans, and last but not least CHEESE GRITS!!! Best food ever at a wedding, in my opinion. Monday we continued moving and ran a billion errands. I found a 26 inch flat screen on sale at Brand Smart for $380.00! Wooowhooo for Labor Day sales. Monday night we felt like it was time to celebrate Labor Day and cook out. The four of us that went out Friday got together. The boys cooked while Kelly kicked my ass on the Wii. Hey, cut me some slack. I have only played it 5 times at most.

The best thing that happened this past weekend was Raeghan Layne Fleming being born on Friday! She is so beautiful and such a good baby. I can't believe Erin and Drew are parents! I am sure that I will have a million pics to put up over the next few weeks. I also met my friend Christine's boyfriend/future husband for the first time. I have never seen her happier or with someone who understands and treats her as well as Keith. I am very excited for them. I am predicting they will be married in spring 2008 and have their first child winter 2009. I am saying it first folks! It is also official that I am now an LSU fan. I don't really have a choice living with Kelly and basically Brandon. I will say that I am partial to their colors, since I used them to teach Complementary Colors to my art students. Kelly and I went to Rio Grande to watch the game with the other LSU Alums. What a blow out! I guess Rio Grande will be seeing a lot more of me than they usually would with just their kick ass drink specials. Alright, this is all I have in me for now. And sorry about the lack of pics, but I am on my work computer.
