Welcome to Our Web Site!
Thank you for stopping by to see what's going on in our world!
As you can see, we have an all-new web site where we are working to move all of our information and pictures that were originally hosted with Google Sites. Unfortunately, their format just didn't work for what we wanted to do--there weren't very good page themes available and the program was not that user-friendly. So hopefully we will bring to you a new and improved site here on Weebly! And yes, one that will be updated on a regular basis... Our apologies for slacking off with the Google site, but we just couldn't bear to deal with it.
Please use the handy navigation bar at the top to visit our various pages and find out more about what we're up to!
And we should note that the site is currently under some serious construction. We had managed to put so much up on our Google site (we persevered through adversity!) that the transfer process will likely take awhile. Good thing Melissa has a lot of time off this summer to work on it! :-)

About Us
We were married on May 17th, 2008 and celebrated our first year of marriage earlier this year with weekend getaway to Callaway Gardens. Our "first married year" included getting settled together in Melissa's (now our) townhome in Canton, GA, where we have enjoyed making the house into a home. Please be sure to visit our townhouse page so you can see everything we've accomplished! The page is still a work in progress but we hope to get it completely updated soon! (As soon as Melissa has some time off, perhaps!)
As of August 2009, Melissa is back with B&N College Bookstores as the Assistant Manager at Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech. In June Melissa left Russell Athletic after working there for three years, since their corporate office moved to Bowling Green, KY. She came on board with the Licensed Products division as their Operations Coordinator in 2006 , and was promoted after a year to a Senior Sales Analyst, and a few months after that was promoted to Account Executive. Before Russell, she spent 5 years with Barnes & Noble College Bookstores as a student bookseller at W&M, and upon graduation went on to be the Community Relations Coordinator and then Buyer at Georgia Tech. Sometime in the years to come, she would like to pursue her recently discovered passion for jewelry in a new environment--this includes the possibility of going back to school for a gemological degree. Of course, she also has a passion for books and reading, and would really love to own an Independent bookstore that she could tie in with her book blog, Melissa's Bookshelf!
As for J. B., he made the move back to part-time status in October of 2008 after nearly 2 years as a Produce Manager for Kroger. This is exciting for us because he is no longer be working sixty miles away at their store in Stockbridge, but is now at their store in Woodstock, only 20 minutes away! He's been with Kroger for over 11 years and will continue to work there while he finishes school. We're happy to report that he is currently taking a full-time course load at Kennesaw State University and hopes to graduate after the Spring '11 semester. He's studying for a degree in Business Administration, specifically Finance. He has recently become interested in the possibility of a career as a financial adviser, so it will be interesting to see where the next 2+ years take him. He's ready for what he calls a "real job!"
We are both very fortunate to be doing well and growing in our respective situations. We're looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish as we continue to grow and change. And the best part is that we get to do this together!
