The end is near

Dustin finished his finals today, and I went to the last mutual activity before we go out of town and then move to GA.  Dustin and I both had to say some goodbyes today and it was very bittersweet.  I'm happy to leave the Michigan cold, but will definitely miss those we have met here. Many more goodbyes to come.

3 years ago today...

Nothing is better than white roses in the morning.  Thanks Dustin!  Here's to many more years to come!

Atlanta Here We Come!

Dustin and I are officially moving to Atlanta, Georgia. Dustin will be working for Delta Airlines in their Supply Chain MBA Leadership Program. We are both very excited and can't wait for the new adventure. Dustin has had the offer since last fall but wanted to explore other opportunities. The past few months he's had a bunch of interviews and a few companies gave him verbal offers but they couldn't committ to actual offers due to hiring freezes. With the economy the way it is, we are truly blessed to say that we have a solid job lined up. Working with Delta will give Dustin and me the chance to fly for free and see the world. We both love to travel and are excited for this opportunity.
A few random facts about Atlanta.
1. Atlanta is the 8th largest metropolitan area in the US; it's crazy to think that Seattle is 15th on the list
2. Atlanta hosted the premiere of Gone With the Wind in 1939
3. In the 60's Atlanta was a major organizing center for MLK
4. Average high in January is 52 deg
5. 13th highest number of foreign tourists per year
6. Home to CNN News
We don't know much about Atlanta so here are a few things we have heard (from Dustin's classmate that is from Atlanta) that are a must see.
3. The Master's - not on my list but I'm sure Dustin will go since it's only 2.5 hours away
4. Centennial Olympic Park - created for the 1996 Olymplics
5. Sports - Braves, Falcons, Hawks and Thrashers
That's all I know about Atlanta as of today. We look forward to our new adventure in Atlanta and look forward to hosting visitors.
