Good Bye Lake Lanier

Goodbye Driskell Circle!!
We said farewell to life at the lake.
It was sad!  Brandon and I moved there 7 years ago
from our little apartment in Dunwoody.  All the
way up in Cumming---it seemed so far away-
so, we were sure it would only be temporary...
but, we got hooked.  It was just the 2 of us at
the beginning---then came Hank...then 2 precious
baby girls.  We filled the house up.  The home
and the memories are dear to us.  
In the midst of the crazy pace of life--it was
always refreshing to pull onto a slower, simpler way
 of life on Driskell Circle.  One of the things we will
all miss the most is our walks around "the loop"--
Hank didn't have to be on a leash-- Milla could run
around freely-- (it was rare for a car to drive by)-
we would get to catch up with all of our sweet
neighbors...the Garners, Rices, Stringers, Heards...
etc...Here is a picture of the last walk-we are with
our neighbor Ashlee.
 Last look at the pretty view.
I REALLY miss it....this is the view from the couch
where Brandon and I would plop down after a long
day after work and catch up, where friends and
 family gathered, where I rested with my feet up
during my pregnancies with Hank laying by my side, and
where I sat and fed our baby girls!
It was dark when we finished packing up the last
few things--- this is when we walked down to the
dock to see the water one more time...
*Last Family Shot*
We loaded up the HUGE moving truck and headed
across town...about 15 miles away.  We
are so thankful that God provided the house right
next door to our wonderful babysitter for us to rent.
Grateful for the amazing times and the fond
memories we have of our days at the lake.
It was 7 years...it is were our family began...
We all head off together and look forward to
what the future holds!!!
