Updates and Upgrades

Since the last posting in May, the Garrett family has endured some interesting and exciting things! In June, the two of us flew down south to visit friends and family. We had a really great time, even if the real-feel temperatures were in the 100s. Zach celebrated his 30th birthday among friends and family and we both had a wonderful visit. Honestly, I couldn't remember it being so hot there but I guess we just got used to weather here already!

In July, Zach celebrated one year with his company. I can't believe how fast the time goes! We also made the decision to move into a larger apartment. 730 square feet just won't fit a growing family!

The Welsch parents came for a quick weekend visit in August. We were part of their 3 week New England tour and while they visited, we took a drive to Gloucester and attended the Waterfront Festival. It was a comfortable day to be outside and we enjoyed the day trip. After their visit with us, mom and dad headed to Maine and by the looks of their pictures online, I would say they had a great time! I think Zach and I are officially adding Maine to our list of places to visit!

We just finished our move from the one bedroom to our luxurious and awesome two bedroom apartment. Fortunately it wasn't a far move; just across the parking lot. However, just because it was so close didn't make it any less of a pain. At present, Zach is moving boxes around and I am taking a break from organizing. Setting up the new place is less easy and more frustrating when your belly takes up more space than before! Ha! Aside from the shuffling about, we are very fortunate and very excited to have this new home and especially looking forward to our newest family member moving into her new room in November.

So, there you have the latest from the New England Garrett family. Until later!
