We've "Moved"

It's been a while since I've posted a blog so I thought I'd give an update on what's been going on in our lives over the past few months. We have NOT sold our house, but we have moved to a house on St. Simons which is much closer to Jon's work. He only has a five minute drive to work each day which is really nice for him. I still have about a 40 minute drive, but the drive is much more bearable since I do not have to drive 30 miles down I-95 at speeds of 80+ MPH with a screaming toddler in the backseat...talk about needing a stiff drink after those rides home! Anyway, we're renting a house that is a bit on the small side and it could use some work, but it is in a wonderfully peaceful location. It's like living at the beach and in the country all wrapped in one. We really like the area and we are looking forward to our house selling so we can *hopefully* buy a house here on the island. If not, I think we'll just rent and save, and save, and save, and save some more until we can afford to buy here--we like it THAT much!

The kids are doing well in school and are enjoying this warm snap we are having. It's been about 80 degrees each day so we've officially pulled out the shorts and flip flops. Eve had surgery a few weeks ago to have her adenoids taken out but she's still having some trouble but now it is with her ears. Anyway, we're looking forward to getting well.

I've been plugging away at school (6 classes down, straight A's) and am on my 7th Master's class. I can't WAIT to finish so I can enjoy my weekends again. Jon is getting busy with the golf course since spring is in the air and everyone is looking forward to spring break. Oh, and I now have some competition for Jon's affection--a new dog he affectionately named "Pedro." He's a great dog and goes with Jon everywhere--even to work! Anyway, he's the latest member to the Hatten Six Pack.

Glad things are working out for you guys, still hope you sell your house soon. I'm sure it's awesome living so close to the beach, St. Simons is beautiful. Keep in touch.
