New Beginnings

Last week was a crazy busy week.  We went to Memphis for me to have a job interview, take Anna Claire to the doctor, and look for houses.  It was exhausting!  But, very much worth it.  The interview went well as far as being a good learning experience.  It doesn't seem like the right job for me, but I actually enjoyed the experience.  I guess interviews are really not that bad when you have the experience to back yourself up. 
Anna Claire's doctors appointment went well.  We get to keep the antibiotics going at least until she is 1!  This is such a relief.  I can only take so much stress.  We got her lab results on Monday, and her liver enzymes are still elevated, but much improved.  Hopefully next check they will be normal.  She is such an active happy little girl, so I really expected them to be good.  But, it is always scary waiting to find out. 
House hunting was exhausting, fun, and confusing.  It was so hard to decide where we wanted to live.  Each area has such different things to offer.  It is really hard to top Collierville, but we decided to go with the first house we looked at, which is in Arlington.  It is absolutely perfect for us.  We can move in and not change a thing.  Drew gets the yard he really wanted and we are so much closer to family.  And, with the opening of 385, Collierville is just a quick drive.  Things are really starting to happen fast.
The girls were well cared for while we were busy doing our grown up things.  Each of our family did a lot to help us out.  The girls loved spending time with everyone.  And, it is always nice staying at my parents in the middle of nowhere.  Especially when life is so busy.  It is very relaxing and quiet.

She really enjoyed eating them more than putting them in the basket.  They sure did make for a nice treat for the rest of the weekend.  We had strawberry pancakes and strawberry shortcake.  Yum!
