From Greenville to St. Simons...

I've had such a blessed couple of weeks getting to feel like I'm on vacation, and this is during school mind you-- it's been great!
Last weekend I accompanied Matthew to one of my favorite little cities-- Greenville, SC. It's just 2 hours from Atlanta, and we were only there for the day, but we couldn't stop talking about how it felt like we were on vacation. He had his local long drive qualifier-- which he WON, with a 400 yard drive and a brand new driver he'd never used! Crazy!  He goes to Regionals in Greensboro, NC later next month, and if he qualifies there, it's off to Mesquite again for the World Championship!
Well, the rest of the day was spent in the quaint town of Greenville. We saw a great movie-- Knight and Day (I was pleasantly surprise- it was hysterical!)-- visited my favorite coffee shop- Underground Coffee, had a great southern gourmet meal, and then stopped back by Underground Coffee before heading back to the ATL.
Then this past weekend we headed to down St. Simons with his brother, Kevin, to visit his family for the 4th of July. Matthew's mom fed us like kings everyday, we enjoyed some much needed relaxation and got some sun on the beach.  It was wonderful! Oh and I have to mention how awesome I was at this game of rolling a golf ball into a hole of sand. I beat Matthew 3 times! It was awesome!


                                  
Matthew wanted to beat me just once--but the CubBuster was too good!












Me with the Leggett Ladies. Gotta love um!

I didn't quite make this one, but we got to see the fireworks on the beach! This picture doesn't do the hour long show justice.






Welp...  only a week and a half left of summer classes, I can do it! Happy belated 4th!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster
