Hilary and I are offically moving into a house! [when we move to Augusta] no more apartments: no more having to lock the doors of my car as i make each trip carrying groceries to my apartment; no more enjoying each and every family "discussion" from our neighbors below; no more parking our cars at our friends houses when we're out of town so that we'll still have a vehicle when we return home. no more leaks from every room in the apartment where there's plumbing (and some rooms where there isn't). no more livestock, such as (but not limited to) ducks, geese, and chicken wandering the grounds. no more watching scratches accumulate overnight as i am forced to park 8 inches from the car next to me (whose front bumper is 16 inches into my space); no more giving directions as follows, "park as near to the dumpster as you can. that will put you as close to our apartment as you can get..." - In other words, this will in no way be "bitter-sweet" - just sweet. Of course, this has been our first home, and that counts for something - but grand-scale - sweet.
Our new place will be next to a park (which has an 18-hole frisbee golf course). So, I'm sold! This will be our 1st Augusta home... I can't wait. Passing through and want to grab 9-holes-o-fribeee? Give me a call! [please note: the above picture is not a precise representation of our new home... there are a handful of subtle differences - namely in size, shape, and style.]

Congrats! I am very happy for you both. Now, what would you rather have for a housewarming gift:
a) Garden Gnome
b) Lawn Jockey
c) A Plastic Inflatable Snoopy
BTW, I can really relate to the directions-giving thing. I cannot wait to not have to do that anymore.
I wish I had friends to give directions to...
Hey! Glad to see you are moving to Augusta! I live on Deodara drive between Augusta National Golf course and Eisnhower park. What about you?
Matthew
we are looking to move to a place near troupe st and wrightsboro rd.
are you one the east side of national or the west? i'm still trying to learn my way around.
(plus: i tried to check out your blog as well - but couldn't get linked - what's the address?)
We are on the northeast side. I saw that you had a link to Lakemont Youth group. Thats pretty funny because I know the youth leader there, Ryan. I'll see if he has heard of you-
yep - i'll be working at lakemont w/ ryan... should be good times.
Cool! I talked to him on Sunday and he mentioned that some kids from Charlotte had talked to him about something related to Lakemont. Maybe you know them? When do you move?
we are moving at the end of May... just counting down the days and packing up the boxes...
