Fun with Abbie!

So, I couldn't email out all of these videos to all of you family members dying to see Abbie, but I thought I could post them here. Let's see if it works...for those of you not in my family, this is my cousin's baby, Abbie. Not sure if I can explain this well, but she is the first baby born to our generation on my Mom's side of the family, which makes her especially special! :) We all love her to pieces!! My sister and I just got back from visiting our family in Washington, D.C. and had a wonderful time! Hope you all enjoy the cute pictures and video! Oh, yeah, don't forget to turn on your sound for the video! :)








Here's the video. Make sure you turn on your sound! :) It is short, but very cute!

Finally an Update!!

So, I can't say that we have had anything too exciting going on, but a lot has happened since we have updated. Seth and I both graduated in May, which was a huge accomplishment for us both. He has worked so hard the last three years and I guess I have worked pretty hard as well. It is weird to think that era of our lives is over and the last few months have been quite the roller coaster of emotions for sure.

Let's see...here is a quick overview:

May- graduation, saying goodbye to some of our best friends in the world. It was a tough time as we were so excited and yet so sad to see our friends go their separate ways. We hadn't really realized how hard it would be to leave the friends we have made the last three years; they have really become like family to us.

June- Seth is studying and taking the Bar prep course. Sarah is taking care of the dog, Seth's brother's dog and house and MOWING. We took over a new lease in Manhattan starting in June and it is out in the country with about 1.5 acres of grass to mow...and unfortunately we did not have a riding mower for most of the summer. UGH. Pictures will follow...oh yeah, we also moved all of our stuff into our new place in June.

July- Seth finished up his class and we officially moved into our new house. It is a wonderful place to be and we are getting used to being country folk- we are 10 miles outside of town! Molly loves to run around here and we definitely love having a whole house and lots of peace and quiet. It is beautiful out here. More mowing happened this month as well...oh, yeah, Seth took the Bar Exam on the 28th and 29th. We are still awaiting his score. What a stressful summer this has been!

August- here we are in August. Seth started work on the 10th and is now trying to learn what it really means to be an attorney. He is working quite a bit but feels fortunate to work in a firm that is so well-respected in the community and we have both enjoyed getting to know the other attorneys and their families. It is definitely a new chapter in our lives. I am still on the job hunt and will begin substitute teaching next week to try to keep a paycheck rolling in while I await some amazing job that will pay a ton...haha. Other than that, we are just trying to get in the groove of this new life with no more school and lots more working...

Here are a few pics from the last few months. We have managed to sneak away for a bit of fun here and there but are really looking forward to Labor Day weekend when Seth will get a much-deserved day off and we will get to see our friends that we miss so much!!

Sorry for the long post...not like anyone is reading this anyway!! :)








Well, that is all the pics I have time to add right now...our internet is pretty slow out here and I am not very patient. The house pictures were taken before the corn around our house grew to 7 feet tall, but you get the idea...sorry I don't have any better pics right now. More to come, I promise... :)

Molly

Molly is our dog. We got her from a shelter a couple years ago. She's well-behaved, more appreciative than your kids, and costs a lot less. Her favorite treats are gravy-flavored milk bones and her favorite toy is a Mallard duck. Devin Ross is terrified of her.
