Good-bye Five Cedars, Hello Shining Rock

This post is 10 days late - life has been crazy so you will have to excuse my tardiness.

On Friday, August 31st, Cammie and I did some real estate swapping - selling our old house on Five Cedars and purchasing our new house on Shining Rock Court. An exciting day for both of us - including Jersey and Tillman.

Five Cedars will be missed as we had many great memories. It was a great starter home, but after 4.5 years it was time for something new.

Our new house is one that Cammie has loved since she first laid eyes on it. It has great curb appeal, a big yard, an ideal floor plan, and is the perfect place to start the next chapter in our lives. We couldn't be happier. Located in Ballantyne, we are directly across the street from Uncle Berny and Aunt Wendy (for now). We are close to all our favorite stores and restaurants - especially Qdoba. I foresee a lot of burritos being consumed.

A big thank you to all that helped with the move: Jim, Kathryn, Berny and Wendy for their help in the actual move and cleaning; Mom for her fantastic low country boil, Mike for being a great brother and spending his vacation helping us move, Becky for unpacking and dealing with Mike and I, and Uncle Larry and Barry for the laughs and free meals. The move and weekend wouldn't have been the same without you - Cammie and I truly appreciate your help and we love you.

If the move wasn't enough for one weekend, we capped it off with a trip down to Clemson on Labor Day to cheer on the Tigers as they put a whoopin' on the Seminoles. All was right in the world! It will surely be a weekend that will always be remembered.

Joey's 28th Birthday

We spent my 28th birthday in Charleston, SC with my Mom, Ma Bell, J-Diddy, and our two beloved dogs - Jersey and Tillman. We had a great time eating fantastic food, visiting the sites of Charleston, melting in the scorching heat (115 heat index) and spending a lot of time with family. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday.

Here are some photos from the weekend.

Let's give this a try...

Welcome to everyday.egan - an attempt to keep our family up to speed on everything going on in our lives. We will address topics such as:

• What's new?
  
• What's happening in our life?
  
• Is there something important everyone needs to know about?
  
• What do we want for our birthdays?
• Where are we traveling?

We may even allow Jersey and Tillman to make a post now and again. So whether you are in Oregon, New Jersey, South Carolina or North Carolina - read our blog. We are going to give it a try and see if it works!
