Today marks our one year anniversary in Atlanta. Exactly one year ago today, Murray was riding shotgun with me in a rental truck, bound for Georgia.Honestly, it doesn't feel like it's been all that long. And there still hasn't been a single day I've regretted our decision to move. Yes, we do really miss friends and family. But with the phone, email, the blogs and regular trips back to Ohio, it's made it a lot easier to get used to.
Looking back on the year, I think we've accomplished (and learned) a lot, and I look forward to seeing what our future holds. We did already renew our apartment lease, but to be honest, the commute is getting longer and longer, and I'm not sure how much longer I want to spend 9 hours a week in the car. We're considering moving closer to town, but we've only begun talking about it. So we might still be here a while longer.
Not really sure yet what we'll do to mark the occasion. Maybe just dinner and a movie. Here's to another great year coming up!
UPDATE: So we ended up marking the day by redeeming a couple passes at the Midtown Art and saw "No Country For Old Men". Pretty good Coen Brothers movie, if not a bit a bit unexpected. Then we went over to Atlantic Station to see their big tree, and their scheduled nightly snow. The snow wasn't all that impressive, but I guess if you don't see it very often, it's still cool. The kids seemed to like it. Then we ate at the Cheesecake Bistro, which wasn't too bad.
Its hard to believe a year has come and gone. Thanks for keeping all of us posted on this blog. I know it takes time and effort to keep on posting but its nice to pop in and see your surprises. Why couldn't you have started watching football with me?
