Our apartment

After what feels like a hundred trips to Ikea, we've finally settled in to our apartment, and it's starting to feel like our home.
Here are some pictures to help you visualize it until you come visit and see for yourself!  We can't wait to have visitors.

Behind the double doors are the washer and dryer

The living room & dining room!

We have a second bathroom and second bedroom (Albert's office) which weren't quite photo-ready yet.  Maybe they'll make it into another post sometime soon.

So, who's going to visit first? :)

Hiking in Sweetwater Creek State Park

After enjoying the outdoors so much on our cruise excursions, we decided that when we got back to Atlanta we would definitely have to explore some of our local hiking trails.
After a quick Google search, we chose Sweetwater Creek State Park for our first Atlanta hike.
It was great and we will definitely be back to enjoy more of this beautiful park.

Alaska Cruise!

We planned to go on an Alaskan cruise with Karin's family months before we knew we'd be moving to Atlanta, and the cool weather in Alaska was such a welcome change from the heat & humidity in Atlanta!
We did some great excursions and really got to enjoy all that the Alaskan wilderness has to offer!
