Everyone warned us about the HUGE bugs in Georgia. Fortunately, we have not see too many. I did notice this one on our front door window one night. Pretty gross.

My Top Ten List

1) Having no job - Yes I have no job and am LOVING It. I have had a job since I was 15 and I am loving the break. I am sure I will get a little bored soon enough and will get another job but for now I am unemployed and happy about it :-)

2) Getting into a decent work out schedule. I have been trying out the local gym and am going to sign up. I need to get more excercise than I am getting right now. Although my neighbor and I have started walking in the mornings - she walks a little faster than I do - so I am getting a little work out :-)

3) BLOGGING, BLOGGING AND MORE BLOGGING. So if you know me at all you know I LOVE looking and photos, even if I don't know the people. In the past month so many people have started blogging. Could you imagine how much I am looking at pictures now that my friends are blogging. I have a problem - I am way too addicted.

4) Downloading Digital Scrabooking Freebies. I have so many yet still enjoy looking for more and downloading them.

5) Unpacking our house. Most of the big things are packed away but we still have a few more boxes to go through.

6) Looking for new recipes. Now that I have the time I really want to start cooking more and learning new recipes.

7) Finding out all there is to do in Athens.

8) Reading a good book and always looking for more great books to read.

9) Photoshop. I love this program and have only touched on it's capabilities.

10) Ice. Did you know it GA most houses have an ice maker. I mean a big one that is built into your cabinet. I am trying to use ice more seeing as it makes great ice and we have an ice maker.

What's in your Top Ten??

1. The weather - If you know me at all you KNOW that I miss the sunny South African days more than anything. I have not worn a sweater, pair of jeans or closed toed shoes since I have been here. Yes, I am very happy with the weather so far - Charis

2. The humidity. It makes you feel a little more warm and cozy. The evenings are so pleasant - Andy

3. The greenery. Our house is surrounded by trees which is beautiful. Very different from any other place we have lived - Andy

4. The people. Being in a smaller town everyone knows everyone and where the local things are. People have been so friendly and pleasant and I really feel like they are sincere. They truly do want to get to know you and are happy you are here - Charis

5. The traffic. There is NONE. My commute is so predictable which is such a welcome change - Andy

We are so excited to be starting this new phase of our lives and to have a house with ALOT more space.... BUT.... it was a little sad leaving our 1st apartment. This is the only place we have lived in since we have been married. We (well I) had to take a few pictures - so that we never forget our 1st home.

Our last day in Seattle we decided to enjoy the great weather and spend sometime downtown. I had a dentist appointment that morning (yes, I always have dentist appointments) so we were already downtown. We will miss all that Seattle has to offer. It is such a great city - When the sun shines!!!!!
