Home, Sweet Home

Well, we have finally found it. We made an offer last night and it was accepted today. We offered them quite a bit less so we are extremely happy that they accepted. It is a little far out, but close to I 27. Here is a link to the MLS http://www.mlsarealistings.com/(yekbuongjnyi0o45wddakw55)/propertyDetails.aspx?mls=1119795 . The pics really do not do it justice. Plus we will have 2.5 acres which is great. We close May 15th. It is great to know that we will soon be settled into our home.

Sad, Neglected Little Blog

I feel like as long as I post once a week I'm doing good. But I am not posting lately even when there is something important going on. I want to post pics of Miriam's birthday stuff, but haven't done that. Me and mom took Miriam and 2 friends to the American Girl store in Atlanta. While I think Miriam enjoyed it, I ask myself why I wanted to take 3 young girls (plus Eliza) on a 2 hour drive, shop in a store for 2 hours, spend way to much money on food there, and then have a 2 hour drive back. Everyone was pretty good for me and the baby did well, but it was still a lot of trouble. Will Miriam still remember and appreciate this when she is older??
April 8th was our wedding anniversary. We've been married 9 years. It feels like forever and yet doesn't feel like 9 years could have passed. So much has happened and it has all gone too fast. In those 9 years we have been through so much- good and bad, happy and sad. I think I know Jeremy pretty well and yet he still manages to surprise me sometimes. We have had a good marriage and I have never regretted marrying him. We celebrated by eating dinner out without the kids on Saturday. We couldn't go too far or be out too long since Eliza is still young. I chose the Broad Street Grill at the Chattanoogan hotel to eat at. I always choose a very expensive restaurant on my anniversary and birthday. I looked at their menu and it looked very good and I also found a 25% off coupon on line. The food was absolutely delicious. I am so glad I chose to go there. Last year, I was disappointed with where we went, but this year the food was great, presented very well, and timed just right. It was everything I would want when I pay that much for a meal. It was also not very busy so we had a semi-private date. So that is my plug for that restaurant- I may even go back for my birthday!
