Moving to Atlanta: 6101 Queens River Drive Mableton Georgia

In October of 2005 I moved to Atlanta to work for The Home Depot. When I first arrived in Atlanta, I rented a room in a townhouse across the street from Home Depot in Smyrna. After a few months living there, I moved to another townhouse that was on the Silver Comet Trail. After Crystal decided she was going to move to Atlanta, we started looking at houses.

I knew that with Atlanta traffic I wanted to be somewhere close to the office. We narrowed our search to the cities of Smyrna, Vinings, and Mableton in Cobb County.  After looking at a lot of different houses, but focused on two new developments in Mableton named Legacy and Providence built by John Wieland. We looked at a few homes in Legacy and really liked the “Hamilton” floor plan but they did not have any available with a basement.  After looking at Legacy, we went next door to Providence and found a Hamilton floor plan with a basement. We decided that Lot 107A was the one and we put our deposit down!  On June 7th 2006 we closed on 6101 Queens River Drive Mableton Georgia

We lived at 6101 Queens River Dr for 13 years and had so many milestones in this house. We got married here, both of our children were born here, and countless other memories and events like 1st birthday parties and holidays!

Not only did our kids grow up in this house but so did all the trees and bushes.  Here is how the house looked when we sold it in 2019!

Our Engagement – She Said Yes!

On February 11th, 2006 on a frozen Shelburne Pond in Shelburne, Vermont I proposed to Crystal!  Unfortunately this was before smartphones so there are no pictures!  Luckily she said yes!

We would get married two years later in Georgia.

Our First Home: 67 Floral Street South Burlington Vermont

67 Floral Street South Burlington, Vermont

Beautiful townhouse in the sought after Dorset Farms subdivision in South Burlington. Get the feel of country living in a quiet community that is only 5 minutes from Burlington!

On April 26th, 2002 Crystal and I purchased our first home!  A three  bedroom townhouse at 67 Floral St in South Burlington, Vermont. I had moved to Burlington to work for Burton Snowboards and had previously been living in an apartment at the Woolen Mill. Crystal decided to leave Massachusetts and move to Vermont so we could be together.

As our first home this one will always be special. We got engaged while living here and always look back on 67 Floral with fond memories of our time in Vermont.
