Once again I am behind in updating .. I'm a working girl! (and still loving my job at Lilly)
Dan and I flew up to Atlanta a few weekends ago to visit Connor in his hew home town. He just moved into a home (rented) in Buckhead with 2 friends (one who has been his friend since childhood days). His house is a darling older home and the location can't be beat.
We took Connor shopping for new clothes for work (he loathes shopping .. can you image?). Went to both Phipps and Lenox Mall. I was alabe to visit the new Lilly store at Phipps (so beautiful!!) and the new C Wonder store at Lenox.
We also made a trip to Ikea for new bedroom furniture .. thank the Lord above for delivery and especially assembly service. We would still be there if my husband was putting it all together. He has many fine talents, but a handyman is most certainly not one of them.
Connor's new room ..
At the Buckhead Ritz .. notice someone new?! :)
These are about all the pictures I took .. always wishing I took more.
Such a fun weekend, but way too short! Can not believe I now have 2 sons gainfully employeed (such a blessing) and for the most part, on their own!
You should've called me--I can put that IKEA Hemnes stuff together in no time. J1 and J3 both have several pieces. I'm really good with getting the drawers in straight!
Hope he's enjoying the ATL. I have 2 gainfully employed, 2 still sucking us dry but only one left here in ATL. J2 lives in Midtown.
If you have some extra time on your next visit, let me know. We can do lunch with Jill (jillianinc).

Wow! Congrats on getting him established. Who's the darling girl in the last photo? She looks enough like you to be your daughter :)

I see you didn't take my mother's advice either. She used to tell us to marry a man who is "handy" around the house. My husband doesn't know which end of a hammer to hit with. CCal looks happy! So, is the new person in the photo's an Atlanta find or a school friend? She's cute as a button!

Love this update and the last photo is darling....can hardly tell there is any age difference between the mom and the new "friend"....you look beautiful!
So glad you are enjoying your job at Lilly. I've said it before and I'll say it again....they are lucky to have you. Be sure to me know if you make up to pink hq again!
