Alabama residents... home for good

Well, we've been Alabama residents now for over a week. We're slowly getting unpacked and settled in. Harrison had to start school (new teacher orientation) the day after we moved, so he has more unpacking left to do than I have (not to mention needing to set up his classroom). I decided not to start my new job for two weeks so that I could have time to deal with all of the things that have to do with moving. I've done a pretty good job getting established in Auburn:
Nearly unpacked
Got a driver's license (after waiting for 2.5 hours at the DMV)
Got my car tag
Switched over my insurance from NC to AL
Voter's registration
Church membership
Switched the power and water into our names
Got TV and internet hooked up
Joined a gym (and started going to it)
Got temporary health insurance (until my work insurance kicks in after the three month probationary period)

This past weekend I drove to Aileen's (only 1 hour away now) and met up with her, my nephews, Kellye & Paige, and our friend Liz, and her daughter. We had a great time playing with the kids and hanging out at the neighborhood pool. Paige is getting so big (she's almost nine months old, 17 pounds) and she's really developing an adorable personality. Her eyes are big and blue and she has the cutest squeals! My nephews continue to amaze me with their curiosity.

 After our fun day in Newnan, I headed to Gadsden for the weekend to see my parents and go to Katharine's wedding. Katharine and I have been good friends for a long time. She actually caught my bouquet! The wedding was very sweet and the flowers were lovely. Congratulations, Brad and Katharine! I didn't have my camera on me, but I copied this picture off of facebook that someone tagged her in. Aren't they a good looking couple?

On Sunday, I went to Mass with Mom and Dad and then we had brunch at the club. It's nice to know that they're only two hours away from me now, opposed to five.
