Life Update
Hey everyone! I just wanted to catch you up on what is going on in the Raborn house in this beautiful month of March/April!!
The sun was so incredibly bright.
So at work I just hit my 2 year anniversary!! I am so incredibly excited and can't believe it has already been 2 years! We are also in the process of lots of changes and product, line, office, and lab additions within these next two years. It is all very exciting but filled with lots of changes! So just the other day I had to move everything out of my office to temporarily move to the plant down the street. This will be for the next 10 months until they have our new offices ready. They will be cubicle style so it will be interesting.
Moving day outfit!
Completely empty office. It is actually kind of sad. But I won't be sad about not having any black mold or rats! Whew.
What a great time to be at Shaw!
Of course the typical *classy* bathroom selfie at work. My office is my car now for the next 10 months so I am everywhere around the company! (Dalton, Cartersville, Ringgold).
So in honor of mom's birthday on March 18th, we went up to Kingsport TN to visit Morgan and celebrate mom! Sasha was packed up ready to go!
We arrived late at night after work so once we arrived we fell asleep pretty quickly. The next morning we didn't waste time and got right to work. I got into wedding planning mode and we knocked out 3.5 hours of intense wedding planning! Morgan's wedding is 2.5 months away, time is ticking!!
We then explored some of the surrounding areas and park of what Kingsport has to offer. We found this gorgeous dog/walking park and explored!
Tres amigas!
Morgan took this snapshot!
We then went to the mall, and headed back to her apartment. We made cupcakes, chatted, and admired Morgan's decorations around her little place. It's so odd to see her so grown up! I miss her so much!
The next weekend Mom and Morgan came to visit me in Chattanooga! (and with Sasha of course!) Look at my beautiful mama!
Our sweet Sashie
I taught her how to walk respectfully next to me instead of pulling and dragging constantly. We made small progress!
The next day mom and Sasha had to go home but me, Morgan, Edgar, and his two brothers got to explore the trails near our new house and current apartment that I found! I found a true hidden gem; these trails were absolutely incredible! The hike was beautiful on top of the mountain, the trails were well marked and maintained, and not too difficult!
The crew!!
The next weekend we celebrated our nephews 5th birthday at the Chattanooga zoo! I can't believe he is already 5! We had an absolute blast and love seeing him so happy!
We got him a helicopter raptor lego set and squishy 'poop' 😅, we couldn't help it!
He is such a ham! :)
We ended the day with a sprinkled banana pop!
So let's jump to Cody and I's 8 year anniversary, April 1st! We can't believe it has been 8 years, 2 years shy of a decade together. Oh the adventures we have had, the sweet sweet times. 8 years ago we found the greatest gift, love.
To celebrate, we had the best weekend planned! Friday night we met up at Tai Chi after work, our new favorite restaurant! I always get the salmon seaweed wrap and Cody tries the different ramens. Of course I have fallen in love with boba/bubble tea!
After dinner we explored Target where I got this GORGEOUS shirt below!
We then went grocery shopping at Publix and went home and fell asleep lol.
The next morning we had a packed day of hiking planned! I brought Cody to the White Oak mountain trails in collegedale and hiked the most difficult trail, but the most rewarding. The views were absolutely to die for, we could see our home area for miles. We hiked 5 miles in 2 hours! And the best part was that Cody LOVED it! Huge win for us both! We now have our favorite place to hike!
I of course had to take a picture of the highest point and the hardest trial we hiked. We were so proud of ourselves!
Can you see our apartment complex!?!
We did it!
My handsome hubby!
The whole 1.5 mile part of the trail on the ridge was pure rock. The rocks were about as big as a small living room! So much fun!
We then hiked back to our car, drove home and got ready for our movie to end the night! We haven't been to the movies in so long! Above was what I was sporting to our movie date, wifey!
The next morning after church we ate breakfast at First Watch our favorite restaurant. I tried the seasonal lemon blueberry quinoa pancakes! They were pretty good!
We then played a game of pool and ended the day spending time with Cody's family!
Life is really good lately! Happy 8 years to us!
Love,
Kayla Raborn
