I have a TON to catch up on..
The middle of July, James got a job offer to go back to Alabama and run some Fitness Centers. He was getting tired of Retail and all that it entails~ so we decided to go for it! Needless to say, in about 3 weeks we came out to AL found a place to live, got the job together,went back to FL, packed up and moved back to Birmingham!! It was crazy but it all worked out! J started his job here Aug. 1st and he really likes it! It is a lot less stress but still doing what he was doing with Foot Locker just on a little bit smaller scale!
School started yesterday for the kids (8/11) so it was lots of running around trying to get them enrolled and getting everything they needed to start. The schools in FL had just gotten out for the summer so they weren't even in the offices to try to get them withdrawn and the right paperwork for Alabama!! After a week long of a headache I got it all together and all 3 kids started school when they were supposed to!! YAY!! Ü
Since we were in such a hurry to get out here we decided to rent for now until we find a house that we want to buy. We had an offer in on a house in FL but we were able to withdraw the offer since the bank hadn't gotten back to us- (it was a short sale and we had been waiting to hear back for over 4 months) Thankfully it all worked out great for us!!
We were SO sad to leave all of our GREAT friends (and the beach) in Florida, but we have GREAT friends here in AL too! The kids were happy to come back to all their friends here and are adjusting awesome! It kind of feels like we were on a 9 month vacation! (that's how long we were in FL) I realized the other day we didn't even miss a Halloween here! CRAZYY!!!!
Here are pics of the kids first day of school- I can't believe Aubrey is in HIGH SCHOOL!!
Aubrey excited but SUPER nervous for high school! (9th Grade)
Jaymz too cool to smile and exhausted from football kicking his butt! (7th Grade)
I will post pics of the house as soon as I get it together- it is getting close!! Ü

That's awesome that you could go back to where you were. You must have liked it there. Aubrey is looking so much older. She seems like a good teenager!
