New stages of life

Our new stages of life involve a lot of change including moving, graduation, friends getting married, and settling down in where we will call home for now. Even though we don't have cute stories to update about a baby or child like most of our friends or family, this blog update will try to capture a lot of change that has occurred over the past 8 months. We will let the pictures do most of the updating but in summary; Paul completed a 16 week rotation with the UGA football team while I started a job in Smyrna, while living with Joe, Hannah, and baby Grace. In December, we moved into an apartment here in the Smyrna/Vinings area and have slowly settled down to our lives in the "big city". Paul finished up his PT school rotations at Piedmont Hospital and Woodstock Sports Medicine. During these past few months, we have had quite a bit of snow (for Atl), went to friends' weddings, played with our sweet niece and nephew, joined a small group, went to Callaway Gardens with some new friends, and visited Augusta once again for Paul's graduation! Paul accepted a job with PT Solutions, an outpatient orthopedic clinic, and is now studying for the Boards until the big day in mid June. We are enjoying our life here in Atlanta and are eager to finally start living "real life" with no school!!

The infamous Ga/Fla game

Even the "Tech fans" came to watch a game in Sanford Stadium...
The season ended with the big Ga/Ga Tech rivalry with Paul of course standing on the "wrong" sideline with the wrong colors (look closely as you can see him standing on the field in khakis and a white shirt on about the 22 yd line on the wrong sideline)Where Paul spent most of the time during the mornings and afternoons.
