YOU GOTTA SEE THE SLIDE SHOWS ON THEIR PAGE!!! AWESOME!!!
And a the new chapter in the ongoing life of Amanda and Michael - when they bought their first NEW HOME!!!
They bought their first home (single family on a cul-de-sac) in Knoxville and moved in in June 2007.
The furry felines, James and Kylie, and now their latest addition Mimi, adapted to the new environment and greet the returning duo each day from class and research work with a purr and smiley face! And funny bunny, real live bunny, "Scamp" had the run of the house when they moved in! He kept Kylie and James wondering what kind of cousin he really was....but sadly Scamp passed on :) but he will always be loved and remembered as part of the family there.
Jill and I and little bro' Brian went down in April ('07) before the "Big Move" to visit the digs and check out the prospective home PLUS a trip to DOLLYWOOD! A great trip - just so far away for me!
:( ... sniff sniff - OK I'm done sniffling now... :)
AND....August ('07) the whole family was together in the house in Duck NC. Weather was great, I WENT TO THE OCEAN AND POOL ALMOST EVERY DAY! SHOCK!!! But alas, we all had to return to reality...
