There's No Place Like Roam

Four years of Rock City and Santa. Look at how much they have changed!!

Traditions are the best. So glad to have found Old McDonald's farm in Sale Creek to continue our pumpkin patch tradition. Pumpkin slingshots and pedal tractors? YES!!!!

Now this little getaway was amazing! Blue Ridge, GA is adorable and the kids had so much fun picking apples. They are begging to do it again next year. This was Graham's 6th birthday present. We picked apples, and then took the train on an excursion to the next town over and found some yummy Mexican food for lunch. The train took us right back to Blue Ridge and the leaves were at peak this weekend. The Toccoa river ran near the train tracks and there were so many adorable cabins along the way. Will definitely check out VRBO for a future weekend trip!

Graham has been practicing his scissor skills at school. I ask him to keep it to paper only! He received a nice buzz cut at great clips just in time for cold weather! Reminded me of the time Hunter found his "brains".

I've been driving everyone crazy with my latest obsession, Chalk Paint!

Finally lost our first tooth!

Late this spring I decided it might be time to look for a new job. When we first moved I had hoped to get a training development position at the Volkswagen Academy, much like I had at AIDT for Honda. Well, VW has a very different take on e-learning than Honda does, so no positions were opened while I was searching for a job.  Fast-forward 3 years and it just so happened that a position opened at the VW Academy the very day I decided to look. On July 7th I began working at Chattanooga State Community College located at the VW Academy, administering Volkswagen's tuition reimbursement program as well as assisting the Learning Management System Administrator with tracking/reporting on employee training. Two months later and I'm loving it!
