Early Morning

I just wanted to note that it is 6:30 AM and I have been up for 2 hours, had 2 cups of coffee and been on a 1 hour conference call...for the second time this week!

Oh the beauty of working internationally.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom!! (It was Yesterday) Isn't she pretty!!

SATC

The movie was fantastic!!! Four of us went. We laughed. We cried. We cried while laughing and laughed while crying. I think they did a great job of keeping with the spirit of the series!

Loved the movie and can't wait to own it!!

Tennis Update

So, when you are a beginner player, 3 HOURS of tennis in 1 DAY is too much. I had a lesson yesterday for an hour, followed by practice for an 1.5 hours and then fun play for another 30-45 minutes. I am SO SORE today. Yikes.

Flip side is that I enjoy it and I am not a terrible beginner!!

More updates to come. The team has a match this weekend. James is playing Line 1.

Weekend Visitors

Our friends Schal and Chris are coming to town for the weekend!! Schal and I met working at The Limited during our senior year of High School and have been friends ever since (12 years for those of you wondering). We have a fairly relaxed weekend planned. Pool if its nice, cooking out, and Schal and I are going to SATC. We'll be avoiding TV, internet, etc as to not see any spoilers! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Below are pictures from Schal and Chris' visit to our house in Lexington. We went to Keeneland for the races. (the pictures are 2 years old, but the only ones I had on this computer)

Derby Party Pictures

I finally got a couple Derby party Pics!!!

This first one is everyone watching the race

Tennis

So, I have decided to take up tennis. James played in a Spring Mens Doubles league and we got roped into the Summer Mixed Doubles team. Now, I had NEVER held a tennis racket! I took 1 lesson before the first practice. I think practice went okay, but it will be awhile before I am comfortable....I will keep you posted on my progress.

We are headed up in a bit to hit some balls!!

Home Again

I am finally back in Georgia!!! So much has gone on in the last 10 days, I hope to get everything in here. I apologize for the long post.... (I have to list dates so I can keep track of everything)

Sat - 17th
James and I went to the Braves game. Thanks to Josh we had tickets in the SunTrust section....valet parking, free food, free drinks, and seats just behind the away team on deck batter. It was a GREAT TIME.

Sun - 18th
I flew to the west coast for a work meeting. Direct flight, nothing exciting.

Mon - Thurs - 19th - 22nd
Attended work meeting. Monday we went to Jay Leno's garage (he uses my company's products on his cars) and then to the show's taping. Simon Cowell, Rob Schneider and Josh Groban were the guests. It was fun to see! The rest of the week was filled with team meetings. I left the west coast on Thursday evening. I had to take the red eye back because of the wedding I was in over Memorial Day weekend.

Fri - 23rd
Arrived in OHIO for wedding. Took nap, James arrived, attended rehearsal, crashed early.

Sat - 24th
Wedding!! Great time. Bride looked gorgeous, weather was fantastic (wedding was outdoors), fun was had by all!!

Sun - 25th
Recovery....Family Cookout at my parents house. It was a very relaxed day!! We cooked out and played cornhole (we even got our own set to bring the game to GA!)

Mon - 26th
Up early and headed to KY to work on the house there (its for sale). After 6 hours of working we decided it would not be in our best interest to drive home.

Tues - 27th
Got up, finished repairs on the house and headed to GA!!

So, here I am. Back in GA and back to work and a regular schedule.
