The Condo to beat all Condos

So those of you who keep up with Krissee and Daniel via facebook may know that we recently bought a condo in Pawleys Island, SC. This is part of the aforementioned move.

As of today, our house in Columbia hasn't sold yet. We started weighing the pros and cons and the stress the travel was putting on both of us, and decided that it'd be smart to go ahead and buy something in Pawleys. Obviously, two mortgages ain't fun, so we opted for a condo that we found for a STEAL. Its never been lived in, and the owner just wanted out.

Here's the place from the back "yard."



This is the view from the front hallway. Behind this are two bedrooms, a bathroom, and the laundry room.

Dining/Kitchen area.

Yes, its much smaller than our current home. Yes, we will not be able to fit everything we own into this space. We know that. We're excited about that. We're simplifying. We don't plan on this being the end all be all home for us. But we're going to be here for a while. Its in the school district we want, the payments are a steal, and I think both Krissee and I are looking forward to a new place and no yard work. And a pool for the twins. And Dad home every night. And our family together in a fun and exciting new place. These are the important things.

As of now, we're hoping to close the week of July 15th, and move that weekend. If that doesn't work out, it will be mid-August before we move, due to other commitments and plans.

Now, if you know anyone who would want a great house in Columbia, SC.......

Millions of Peaches

Last weekend, we went to Daniel's home, the metropolis of Trenton, SC, for the 39th annual Ridge Peach Festival.

Smith loved the parade, but not nearly as much as his Pappa did. Here is his auntie Ame with him at the parade. I thought this was a great picture of her (and of course of my lil' guy!)

Nanny and Pappa have a great pool, and the Daybies LOVE to swim. Here is Addison, being Addison. I'm sure she'll hate me for this in the future.

Ten Months at the Beach!

Yeah...we've been busy. Really busy. So busy that its now the middle of the month and we never shared out beach trip, nor have we even taken our ten month pictures.

Rather than cheat and give you 10.5 month pictures, I'm gonna do a little double duty and repurpose a couple of beach pics as month pictures - just this once!
