Family Fun, March Madness, and 6 years....

Hi everyone!
Lots of things to report....

First & foremost, Eric has a(nother) NEW JOB! He is now a Business Banking Relationship Manager @ SunTrust....and he LOVES it....This is such a blessing for our family...He works closer to home, is extremely excited & confident about his position, and really enjoys his coworkers....So we are very very grateful for this news!

It's been busy, though, adjusting to the new job...Once again, Eric has had to go away for training -- Not Vegas this time (another "Praise the Lord" :) hahaha -- but to Atlanta. He was gone all of last week & will be gone another week in April. It becomes quite challenging with my "enlarged" territory and the demands of work to handle the house/Maddie/Sutton & work! I counted down the minutes until he came home :)

My mom was in town for a few days (with Annie & Hailey for 1 of them) recently...Hailey & Sutton had the BEST time together once again...and are really developing quite a friendship! It thrills Annie & I to watch, as we feel so close to the cousins we grew up with... :) I know things may change when Annie has Jordyn on May 3rd, her next daughter....but for now, the cousins are BFF's! ha!

Eric & I are looking forward to having Josh Haggerty stay with us tonight -- Eric's very close friend who lives in VA Beach...We're also excited to have Eric's brother, Tim, and our nephew, Mitch, come down for the weekend. Never a dull moment in this B&B :)

Looking forward to some good basketball with March Madness kicking off as well..... Always a fun time of year! Oh yeah, and we got a new car last weekend -- our first REAL New car! It's a 2013 Acura MDX...and we said goodbye to Eric's BMW after about 4 years and too many miles :)

Lastly, as many of you know, I usually take today to think of my Dadd and highlight the anniversary of his passing. Its been 6 years... I am choosing not to dwell on it today as I don't want to think of him dying, but rather him living. I know he is living in heaven & looking out for our family & all of those he loves everyday still. It doesn't mean I don't miss him like crazy :) still...
Hope you all are safe, happy & healthy...
