Well the week was long and had some pleasant surprises in it, mostly with my interview and acceptance of a new job with Peer1 Hosting. Yes, I turned in my notice on Thursday to Bennett and start my new job on the 9th of August. I’m excited about the job namely cause it let’s me work an evening shift so I can be home and available during the day with Ripley. Kellie nor I were very excited about having to put her with a day care or some sort of sitter unless we absolutely just had too. So this takes care of our ‘what to do til Nana comes back’ issue as well as letting us breath a sigh of relief of not having to make any decisions on day care.
I’d love to say that all that weekly excitement bled into our weekend but honestly we played it really low key with a small trip out Saturday towards Perimeter Mall to stop by Jake’s House (a Life is Good store) where Kellie found an adorable shirt and we both pounced on some stuff for Ripley. It was a great day to just get out and drive, Ripley was a doll and of course garnered her fair share of attention. We ended the day back at home though with some chinese take out from Dragon House before settling in to catching up to stuff on the DVR.
Sunday arrived with me heading to Wallom’s place to help him move into Hansen’s place. Arrived about 9:40 and got started. It didn’t really take that long but thanks to the July heat it definitely felt like forever. I even got me a nice ‘pinken-ed’ tan while I was out, but with his family’s help it was really done and over with in no time. Hansen’s place looks real nice and I think Wallom will settle in over the next couple of days. His family’s job was far from over though as some of the furniture and stuff had to go to Augusta for storage and what not. Long day for Wallom’s folks for sure! It felt good to be able to lend Wallom a hand but man I think if someone is moving in the next month I’m going to keep my mouth shut. 
Was a great weekend and things are really just starting to fall into place for a change.

Congrats on the new job. Having a change of pace can be exciting. Not to mention you you feel much better having one of the two of you around Ripley at all times. Keep me updated
