We're officially residents of Huntsville!

So sorry that I'm so late on the updates! It's been a busy few weeks that have included:
  • Amanda and Patrick got married!!! Congrats Mr. and Dr. Ruland!
The beautiful bride and groom
Me and the brideMe and Luke at the reception
The girls showing off our rings
The boys doing the same
  • We packed up and moved away from Auburn:
The infamous U-Haul (see previous post) and the brave drivers/ridersGoodbye to our first home!Moose making sure that he's not left anywhere
  • We moved into Huntsville (We've added some pictures of the parts of the house that are completely finished. The rest are still works in progress).
  • Oh, and just because I thought you'd enjoy getting to know a little bit more about our new addition...we came home to this after dinner on Friday night. Aren't you jealous?

Everyone who helped us move was amazing (despite all of the rain, heat, and humidity) - we could not have done this without them! They helped to make the transition as painless as possible, and we are so grateful for all of the hard work that they put in! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends! Thank you!

So... what are we doing now? I started working on Tuesday at Huntsville Hospital, and Luke's trying to finish his thesis from home. We're exploring Huntsville and learning our way around. It's still really surreal that we're not in Auburn anymore. We've visited two different churches these past 2 Sundays and were able to visit with our great friends Travis and Gina on Friday and today. In the meantime, we've made more trips than we can count to Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Ross. So we're settling in and getting used to living in this new city. I hope everyone has had a great weekend! Please come and see us sometime - we'd love to have you stay with us and introduce you to our new home and city!

Just so y'all know...we went to Auburn for the NCAA baseball tournament last weekend and were very very sad that we couldn't say "let's ask luke and kristen if we can stay with them!". Needless to say, we drove by the house for old times sake and are going to miss y'all being in Auburn very very much!
