Well a bunch of stuff has transpired since the last post. Our "see ya later" party was a hit, we found a temporary home for Dax (the puppy we found), moving was a terrible and sad tragity, packing for our trip was quite a task, but dispite all of these things we managed to make it to the airport in ATL for our deportation.

The Party
First of all we'd like to give a big thanks especially to Nick, Sara, Clark, and Nancy for planning and implementing our party. We also want to thank Dan and Annie for hosting and Bobby for the ice cold refreshments and fire. Last but definitely not least thanks to all who braved the cold rain and made it out to say "peace out". Your last few words of encouragement ment a ton. Hopefully we will have pics to post if Clark ever sends them from his make shift photography studio. (Haha thanks bunches Clark)

Dax
Thanks to all who inquired about the pup, through networking we were able to give Dax over to the NC Hound Rescue. They will take good care of him until the find a suitable and loving home for him. In fact he has already been neutered, had a microchip implanted (so he won't get lost again!), and one family is giving him a 2 week trial/test run. Finally if you are somehow sorry you gave up your opportunity to own him... I'm sure all of the dog radars in GA will know when Jen gets home. So you know what that means... our "vacancy sign" will be on, blinking, and the strays will come running.

Moving
Our first "home" together was full of many memories on the second floor of Camp Merri-Mac/Timberlake. Sarcastically speaking, we will miss Bear and Zara's 3am monologue, midnight 3rd floor foot steps (were they getting dance lessons?), late night shop parties, business phones ringing at all hours, breaker fuses tripping in freezing weather, and overflowing toilets from upstairs...TWICE! Aside from thes memories and many others (good ones) we have learned to love where we first lived as a married couple. Now we have gotten to the point of finally reallizing how much crap we have. It's really tough deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, what to sell and what to give away... but I will tell you this, never get rid of your wife's childhood horse figure or your husband's Cabbage Patch kids just because you think they are silly! (just letting you married couples in on a little secret) Eating out seemed to be our source of nutrition since our kitchen being among the first to get packed. But our loving family and friends pulled together and managed to surround us with blessings by bringing us food, taking us out, and inviting us over for dinner. This was very special for us because it allowed us to have one last chat with our amegos. Back to moving, through pulling "all-nighters" and strained backs we managed to finally get everything semiorganized and into storage. (Special thanks to those foster homes of some our stuff: i.e. desk, t.v., longhorns,... not forgeting RUSH!)

Packing
Courtney Stillwell blessed us with her prescense the night our departure to help/hang out a bit and say goodbye. As chaotic and hectic our live are Jen and I managed to pack up a pair of underwear or two with each of us bringing about 150lbs (EACH!) with us. That's incredible... what were we thinking... it's only 5 months! We also managed to finally celebrate out 1 year anniversary... I know what you're thinking, "weren't the married in Sept.?". We were in Hawaii for our special day and long story short we; we kept putting it off. So after visitnig 5 different freezers the cake finally found a home in our bellies... along with a fine, deliciously chilled bottle of bubbly. I also had the opportunity to get Jen back for the "cake in my face" incident at our wedding. On top of all this the night before we leave I tried to figure out our new purchase... MacBooks don't quite work like PC's... who knew? Well anyway, thanks to Nick and Jes we are up and crawling so bear with us as we try to keep ya'll posted.
