Making New Friends

A warm welcome to those of you coming from Kelly's Korner! 

My name is Ellery and I live in North Alabama.  I am married to Doug, an engineer and I am a former teacher, now SAHM to Weston, our almost 2 year old son and a new baby due in August.  We have a Great Dane and a black Labrador.  

I enjoy going to church and hanging out with my family and friends.  In the fall, SEC football is on as much as possible.  We are a house divided between University of Florida and LSU.  Living in Alabama and Auburn territory is difficult, but we make it work.

We've lived in North Alabama since November 2010, but I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida and have lived in Mobile, Gulf Coast Mississippi and Texas.  I would love to live where it snows on a regular basis, but I do enjoy Alabama.

This kind of sounds like a personal ad, so I am going to stop here.  Maybe we can be friends?

Welcome!

Hi!  My name is Ellery and I am married to a wonderful man, Doug and we have a very sweet, 5 month old little boy named Weston.  We also have a 4 1/2 year old Great Dane, Manhattan (Hattie) and a 2 year old black Labrador Retriever, Waveland.   We just moved to north Alabama and are starting our lives as a family of 3.  We can't wait to find a church, meet people who will hopefully turn into good friends and expand our family.

Let me explain the name of my blog and the web address.  Almost 2 years ago, Hattie and Waveland were out in the rain, so when they came in, my husband and I dried them off and put the towels in their crates so they could roll around on them and continue drying off.  Unbeknownst to us, Hattie ripped the towel apart and ingested some of it.  We ended up having to have a large piece of towel surgically removed from her intestines.  The web address name came from the fact that it seems everytime Weston is taking a nap while we are doing errands, when he wakes up, we are in Wal-Mart.

I will try my best to keep up with this blog.  I stay at home with Weston, so you would think I would have plenty of time, but anyone who stays at home with children knows that the day escapes them and before you know it, dinner needs to be on the table.

Have a great evening!
