Kimberly & Karl Burgess

Define Family

Hello Everyone!

Well we had a semi-eventful week. I mean nothing out of the ordinary happened really. I bought some new running shoes and Karl and I went running Saturday morning. The run went well...it was the heat that kicked my butt. Then we went to the beach for the 4th and it was so crowded. On Saturday night we rode our bikes down to the pier to watch the fireworks. They were beautiful....our idea to ride our bikes paid off. We made it home in 15 mins...the other poor folks who drove ended up in a traffic jam.

Today we went to breakfast just like we always do and then off to the beach we went again. Today's beach visit was much better than yesterday's .... a lot less people. So what's next for the Burgess family...well this week, I will be meeting Karl's dad's mom, Rosemary. She is flying in on Monday. We will be having dinner with her on Wednesday night...we are also preparing to see the Dubose family in a few weeks. David, Thea, Walker, and Pairlon will be coming down for the weekend at the end of this month. We are so excited.

The Dubose family are very important to us. They are our best friends. We hope they enjoy their time at the beach....

Till later...

So We Are Called Planners

So people call Karl and I PLANNERS...some say it in such a way that it comes across as a bad thing....well if that is true then our next thought and that is all it is at the moment a "thought" is going to throw people for a loop. Karl and I have been together for over two years...we have been trough a lot that has made our relationship VERY strong...I mean we dated long distance for 4 months...we were engaged for over a year before we married...and now we are raising our puppy Allie and preparing to buy a house.

With all of that going on in our lives, we are talking about having a child and of course we are planning that as well...but this week an idea was given to me by a faculty member at TROY...where I work...I have always wanted to pursue my doctorate degree and I was asked if I had ever considered going to VSU-Valdosta State University...well truthfully, I had never thought of the idea, but after doing some research I really believe that it could be a program I could complete.

So with that said, I came home last night and pitched the idea to Karl, my wonderful husband and he is totally supportive. I am going to work over the next few months to get my admissions paperwork prepared and I am going to apply for the August 2010 semester. Karl on the other hand is going to start on his masters degree in the spring 2009. I know his is really excited about it.

So as the story of the planners go...change happens...you might as well be prepared.
