Moving Day is Drawing Near...

All of the moving boxes stacked in our guest bedrooms

We are in the final stretches of our moving preparations! Colin and I have been packing diligently and trying to get rid of most of our pre-marriage stuff that still lurks in our house and have been squeezing in meals with all of our friends here in Michigan. We also went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie in IMAX 3D--it is super fun and you should all go see it this summer!  We pack up the truck on Saturday, and then my sister Amber comes in from Dallas to help us with the drive down to Georgia on Sunday. And then we leave for our new home in Georgia on Monday (yes, we know it is Memorial Day and that we will be driving along with everybody else!). :) We are super excited to be in our new home and starting the newest chapter of our lives in the South!

And...I leave you with this super fun giveaway from Sara at the Crazy Cozads blog.  She is offering a beautiful notecard set from Cambria Cove, so go check it out!

Dr. McKenzie and New House!

So many exciting things have been happening in our lives lately!  On May 2, Colin successfully defended his dissertation and is now Dr. McKenzie (he will not walk until December but is Dr. on paper). We immediately left for Statesboro, Georgia, to look for a place to live and so that Colin could meet with some students and faculty before GSU's semester was over. We found a wonderful house and are so excited to move there!  It is the nicest place we will have ever lived since we have been married, and, for the first time, we will have a walk-in closet! For more pictures of the new house, click here. We also were able to spend a day in Savannah, which is a super fun city, and even got to walk on the beach at Tybee Island. We are so excited to be moving to such a vibrant area and cannot wait to move. Now, we just have to finish packing (yuck!) and then will be ready to move over Memorial Day weekend!

New house in Statesboro!
