Today is Jason's 21st Birthday and I wanted to recognize him on my blog because he is such a an amazing person. He is a wonderful brother and friend and I am so blessed to have him in my life. He can make anyone laugh and is always goofing off, he is ambitious and driven, he honest and kind, he is someone that many people can learn from. He is one of the most special people in my life and I thank God for him everyday. Happy Birthday Jason, I hope you have the most wonderful day and party this weekend. I wish I was there to celebrate with you. I love you and miss you!

Weekend Fun!

Friday night Josh and I went to the Braves vs. Detroit game. They didn't win but I got to eat a hotdog so I was happy. Saturday night was my friend Melissa's Wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous! They put a lot of time into little details and it really paid off. The ceremony was at a beautiful church in the heart of Atlanta. Stained glass windows were everywhere so there was no need for lots of added decorations. It was very traditional and very pretty. The reception was at the new hotel in Atlantic Station which is pretty modern. For cocktail hour they had Sushi and everyone just stood around and talked. They opened the ballroom about an hour later and it's hard to describe how pretty it was. They had palm tree shadows on the entire back wall which was great lighting, and it was filled with exotic flowers I don't even know the names of. The food was excellent with lots of variety and they had banana pudding and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Lots of dancing and lots of fun! It was very tasteful and we had a wonderful time. The cutest part was all the guests got cookies when they left and they even had "Pupcakes" that you could take home for your dog. There was a picture of their dog and the card around the bag said they were from him. I thought that was a really cute touch! I have included some pictures but forgive me if they are blurry, the lighting sort of through me off and I didn't make any adjustments on my camera. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Another Busy but FUN Weekend

Well my weekend started when our friends Daniel and Morgan came on Thursday night. They live in south GA so we don't get to see them that much. We just made dinner, chicken parmesan, and talked all night catching up with each other. Friday night we went to our friend Brad's 30th birthday, Josh works with him Chick-fil-a. There were about 20 people there and good munchie food. On Saturday Daniel and Morgan came back to town and we went to the Braves game that night. What was different about this was that their friend Keith and Brooke were with us and Brooke is Macay McBride's little sister. Macay plays for the Braves, he is a relief pitcher. Because we were with her we got to sit in the family section at the Braves game. They were great seats right behind home plate and it was neat to see all the players families and wives. Andre 3000 from Outkast was also there in our section so that was fun. After the game Macay and his wife Dru met us across the street at the Bullpen where we got to hang out with him and talk to them about what's it's like to be a Major League Baseball player. It was a neat experience and of course I got an autographed ball and pictures taken with him.

Action Packed Week (some great, some bad)

I was trying to think if most people like to hear the good or bad news first. I always like to hear bad so I will start with that. This week I took my car to the shop and walked out with a $1300 bill. It drives a lot better but geez! I had to have a left front ball joint replaced ($330), outer axle boots replaced ($600) and front lower control arm bushings replaced ($200). The thing is when I got the bill, the parts only cost around $400 but they charge $80/hour for labor so over $700 of it was labor. Oh well, these guys were recommended so hopefully they did a good job. Well it doesn't stop there. After Josh dropped me off to pick up my car and help me pay for it, his brakes go out. Yep, his car is just sitting there waiting for us to tow it somewhere. We just weren't in the mood to deal with it that day! Well the very exciting news is that Lacy had her baby and I am an aunt! I'm am so excited to add little Kiley to our family and can't wait to meet her. Babies are the best! Congratualtions Lacy and Jeremy!
