Happy Birthday to me!

Well, my gracious! Once again, it has been a while since I’ve been able to write. October has been a busy month for me and Matt. As mentioned in my previous post we celebrated Matt’s birthday on October 7. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary on October 21. (Matt took me to eat Italian at Carrabbas. It was wonderful!) Today is my birthday and we are headed to Mom and Dad’s to have burgers and such. My sister and brother-in-law are driving in for the occasion. Also, this weekend, my family will be attending a pastor appreciation dinner for my Dad at his church. It will be a bittersweet time because this upcoming Sunday is my Dad’s last Sunday at Woodbury First Baptist. On Wednesday, October 31, Dad will be moving to Rome, Georgia in order to begin a teaching/administrative position with Shorter College. He is so excited and has been preparing for this moment ever since he acquired his Ph.D. Mom is excited as well, but,Â also,Â kind of sad because she has to wait until their house sells before she gets to move to Georgia to be with Dad. Instead of only being 45 minutes from my parents I will now be about 3 hours or so from them. Mom and I work at the same place and I have grown accustomed to seeing her everyday. I am a little melancholy about the whole situation, but excited about the wonderful adventure that lies ahead for them as well. Don’t worry…I will have my camera with me this weekend and will try to post pictures in the near future.

Family Reunion

Hello again. As mentioned in my previous post, Matt and I went to Memphis for a family reunion Labor Day weekend. I took some pics with my Nikon point and shoot camera. I hope you can tell how much fun we had! Just to put it into context…It was my mom’s side of the family which consists of her, her two sisters and her parents. All the extended family went of course. Enjoy.

Hi Everyone!

As most of you know, mine and Mattâ€™s last attempt at a family website really didnâ€™t turn out too good (visit www.mandladventures.com to see what Iâ€™m talking about). Iâ€™m not going to lay blame on anyone as to the reason of the failureâ€¦suffice it to say that Matt and I will now have TWO websites. mandladventures.com will now become the technical information based website. And as you can see, Vance Tales will only contain life updates and personal thoughts and opinionsâ€¦no technical tips, hints or observations. My plan is to update this site at least once a week. Hold me to it!
