Exciting times!

Hmm it's been a few days since I've posted. First bit of news - new air conditioner!! This new one works so much better. It was just installed today so we officially had 12 days with no AC in July in Georgia. I didn't mind it so much but Matt did. It will be nice to be able to fix my hair again though, haha.

This past week was quite exciting! This bit of news is bigger than the air conditioner and should have come first - Matt's brother John and his wife Stephanie had their baby girl last Thursday night! Mary Arabelle Moffitt, to be called Arabelle. Here are two of my favorite pics:

She definitely has Stephanie's eyes!

Going home today!

Like a lot of birth stories this one had twists and turns and we are very thankful for a healthy mom and baby and can't wait to meet our new niece!

Last Thursday we also saw Harry Potter 6. In my opinion it was definitely the best movie made so far. Even though they of course left stuff out and changed stuff around a little bit. One thing I really like was that some of the parts I pictured while reading the book were shown exactly the way I had pictured them. Pretty awesome. Now I am wanting to re-read that book and re-read book 7 as well since I don't think I have read 7 more than once yet.

Friday night I headed up to Matt's parent's cabin with Crystal and spent the evening/night with Matt's mom, Andy, Crystal, and the dogs. Matt had a gig in Alabama and came up on Saturday. Saturday was filled with relaxation as the cabin always is. Also, Matt's parents are adding onto their cabin right now and it was decided that Andy and Crystal will be getting married up there, possibly even on the deck! It's so beautiful and such a perfect idea for the two of them.

Sunday we woke up bright and early (6:15!) to get back to Atlanta so I could run my 9 miles. This is the farthest I have ever run and it wasn't easy. The running part wasn't too bad at all actually but my knees and my hips didn't take it so well beginning around mile 7. I also didn't have enough water for the run. So this weekend when I have to run 10 I am hoping my body will take it and also Matt is going to bike ride along and bring extra water for me.

I know this is getting long.. keep reading if you want to. Today I bought Matt's anniversary present and gave it to him. Our anniversary isn't until August 2nd but I got him something I wanted him to be able to use on our beach trip (looks like we'll be going.. I hope!). I got him a suit from Brooks Brothers (major clearance of course). He did not have a summer suit and would have to wear his wool one whenever we did stuff in the summer. I had to give it to him early so he can get it tailored by Brooks Brothers (most of it is included when you buy) except I didn't know that when you buy a 'real' suit that you can only get the size pants that come with the suit. So the pants are 3 inches bigger in the waist than he needed and I'm hoping that the re-sizing of those will come with the included alterations. Now all he needs are some super fancy shirts.. couldn't afford those with my gift :p

I suppose that's enough for now. I'm going to go enjoy the AC curled up under a blanket with a book.
