I'm back!

We got home from Georgia and South Carolina Monday night. We had to hit the ground running. It is now time to start packing up the house for the move. While we were in Georgia we rented an apartment. Going back into an apartment is going to be rough. But I think I will be able handle it for a year. This apartment is across the street from a protected marsh land, there are miles of walking trails, of coarse use of a very large swimming pool, and work out center. I will even get two sessions with a personal trainer a month for the year. The apartment it self is gorgeous. It has almost 1300 square feet with a sun room. 2 full baths, two master bed rooms. The Kitchen faces the living room with a counter that I can see over. This is a plus. The house we are in has the kitchen hidden from the living area so when I am cooking and we have company they have to come to the kitchen so I can visit with them. This apartment complex is only 2 years old and is very pretty. Once I get to Georgia I will post some pictures for you all to see. And for those who know me well, yes your right I came back with no pictures of any kind. We had the camera with us but just did not think to pull it out. I didn't even take pictures at the reception we attended in South Carolina.

The reception in South Carolina was held at a yacht club on Lake Murry. Tom, Dave's best friend loves to sail and belongs to this club. This club wast started back in 1957. Tom's reception was the first event to be held in the new building. This place is just drop dead gorgeous! And of coarse it over looks lake Murry.

This was the first time to meet Tom's new bride. Everyone talked about how I look like her and that we had the same mannerisms. Poor Debra! I do have to say I felt like I was looking in the mirror the entire weekend. But let me tell you, she is the most wonderful person. I am soooo glad they found each other! They make a wonderful couple!

Toby got to spend the week at DDC, Woof Gang. He had a blast. Dori checked in on him while I was gone. Thanks Dori. I think Toby loved that place. I don't think he was happy that I took him from his friends. Sorry Dude! The people at Woof Gang told me that Toby was a hoot while he was there. They tried to feed Toby liked I asked, in Kongs, but Toby buried them in his kennel under his blanket. They found them the next day. I guess Toby was just too exhausted to work the food out so he was saving them for a rainy day. He also spit some of his herbs that he takes for allergies out long after the staff was gone. They also found them buried under his blanket. So they had to stuff the herbs down his throat and use bowls for Toby's food. They also got to witness Toby trying to make his cookie come alive. That is the most amusing thing to watch. I know Toby had a great time while he was there. Toby was very tired when I got him home yesterday. I think he slept most of the day way. Poor Toby! His whole world is fix"n to come crashing down on him soon. The only thing he is going to be happy with is that I will be a stay at home mom for about the next year.

That'll be so much fun being able to stay home!! Toby will love that - I know that Kodiak LOVES it when I am with her on the weekends. She follows me around all day, but she is pretty zonked by the time Monday comes. :)
The apt sounds sooo cute! Can't wait to see pictures!

p.s. I am terrible at taking pictures most of the time unless I'm in nature. ;)
