Chris and I are back into a routine of sleeping, working, and eating.
A few highlights have been weekends of beautiful weather that has motivated us to get outside and drive to the mountains and state parks for various adventures. Also, yesterday, we went to South Carolina with my family and visited my dad's brother's clan up there. It was too fun! I have some sweet second cousins, one who is 6 (my flower girl from my wedding), one who is 4, and one who is 2. All girls. My cousin is expecting another baby in June. Her husband knows whether it is a boy or girl, and he's not telling! Here is one quote from the weekend as I was rocking my sweet two year old cousin:
Mallory (6): (taps Chris on the shoulder) Look, Chris! There is your future right there in front of you!
Kylie (4): Kathi, aren't you sad that you don't have a baby?
It was some good times with great family. I wish we could visit more often...
March is looking super busy on the weekends. Starting this weekend, I have a baby shower I am hosting. The next weekend will be visiting with Chris' family (SO excited to see everyone, by the way!!!). The third weekend will be spent with the Loudermilks at their house to attend Faith PBC's meeting, and we are looking forward to that a lot, too! :) The fourth weekend looks like a break (but I could be speaking too soon!), and the fifth weekend might involve a trip to see some friends.
This week will just be routine, and that is okay! :)
Oh, and I am trying to get pictures of me cheerleading... the coach has yet to email them out yet. It was HILARIOUS! :) I should get them Wednesday from the yearbook work. Keep an eye out! :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful week! :)

Get up on your feet, move to the beat...
So, as friends and people who know me well, I thought you should know that I am branching out and becoming a cheerleader!
... A cheerleader for our faculty vs. students basketball game.
As a tomboy earlier in life, I would love to be out on the court. I am, however, too out of shape to participate as a basketball player. I want to be involved, though, so I volunteered to be a cheerleader.
I have a new respect for cheerleaders that I never had before! My whole body is sore from moving and bouncing. My brain is sore from coordinating movements and words at the right time. And it is FUN! Oh, so much fun! Of course, we are mocking it and going crazy, but it will be so much fun! We are even doing a halftime show!
I will try to post some pictures from this exciting moment in my life! :)

Four Years
Four years ago, Chris and I liked each other, and we were the only ones who did not know it.
Four years ago, Chris and I ended up on an accidental date to Centennial Olympic Park and the Spaghetti Factory, ending at the Waffle House in Rome where a drunk guy scooted in next to me on the booth and hit on me. We decided on trying a real date the next week, and then, once back in our dorms, talked on AIM for hours into the morning.
Four years ago, Chris and I went to Waffle House every night for one full week, learning more about each other over chocolate pie, cokes, and waffles. As with the weekend before, we came back from Waffle House late and talked on AIM until the wee hours of the morning.
Four years ago, the night before our first official, real date, I got a call from Chris. He asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend because he knew that he wanted to only date me. With a big smile on my face, I agreed.
Four years ago today, without knowing what would happen, Chris and I decided to be a part of each other's lives.
Here we are, four years later, married. Sometimes it is really hard for me to think about how things have changed in my life from that point; it is weird for me to think how far we have come as a couple. We have committed our lives to each other.
I love reflecting back on the excitement in the early days of our relationship. I love thinking about the first few weeks (described above) where Chris and I could not get enough time together. I love thinking back to the early days and thinking about how that excitement transitioned into a deep joy in him and in our love. Lord willing, Chris and I will have so many more years together, and so many more experiences to share.
I am thankful for February 6, 2004, and the decision that we made. I am now a happy wife and member of such a wonderful and loving family.
I am blessed. God has blessed our relationship, and I could not be happier.
Chris and me, celebrating six months together on August 6, 2004 in Athens, Georgia, the city in the middle of our two hometowns.
Chris proposing to me at Panther Falls on October 22, 2005.
Exchanging our vows of marriage before God, family, and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards!! :)
"I'm gonna love you
Like Nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us..."

Neglectful Posters
Family and friends in the blogging world,
I know that you have come to not expect new posts from us. We apologize. To catch you up on everything exciting you have missed this month:
We get up early every morning.
We work all day long.
I come home around 4:30pm.
Chris comes home about an hour later.
We make dinner.
We eat dinner.
We watch television, read books, or play our Wii.
We go to sleep at a decent time so we can start again the next day.
We have a few days where the routine may vary, especially for stressful weeks (like this past week) for me at school. But they all involve the same items on that agenda.
We do not really lead exciting lives that prompt us to post very often. On occasion, something exciting (like snow) happens and makes us want to post... well, me want to post.
We do care about keeping family and friends updated... and we care enough to not bore you with our every day, well, boring-ness.
Hope this provides a decent explanation of the lack of posts recently.
Sincerely,
Kathi (and Chris)
