A-Day Weekend!

Anna and I headed down to Tuscaloosa to see the A-Day game. We drove down Friday night and stayed with my brother until Sunday. After getting settled in at the condo, Anna and I headed out to see her sister and her husband. It only took us about an hour of walking around in heels to find this tiny place called Alcove that neither of us had ever been to. We finally arrived and it was such a treat to meet some of her family! After catching up for a bit, Anna and I headed out to meet up with my brother and his friends.

On Saturday I went shopping at the Limited, since we do not have one in Huntsville or Birmingham. I got two pairs of much needed pants! Anna and I watched the A-Day game together and then headed out to meet our friends!
It was so much fun seeing people I went to high school and college with, old clients from the Crimson White and all the new people I got to meet. I was really excited to meet Anna's good friend Tara, she is such a sweetheart!

I had a blast with good friends in Tuscaloosa but I must admit I am ready to get back to reality for a bit! A-day weekend was a complete success and so much fun!

David Gray Concert

After a day of roller coasters I headed to downtown Atlanta to see David Gray perform live at the Atlanta Civic Complex.I have never been to a more amazing concert. David Gray was everything I had hoped it would be and more! He is an amazing artist and I prefer him live to his CD, all the songs have more meaning and excitement! It was the best $100 I have spent in a very long time, I am hoping to go see him again in August at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

Here are two of the songs he performed last night, they were much closer than I was!

Amos Lee and Six Flags

This weekend was jam packed with entertainment and my wallet is now reaping the repercussions! Despite of the misfortune on my bank account I would have to say it was well worth the money! I had so much fun. The weekend started Friday night with seeing Amos Lee live at Crossroads. It was amazing how naturally talented he is, to be honest I only knew one song, "Sweet Pea" the one on the Cingular commercial but after the show I am a new fan!

After a long night of good music I woke up at 4:30 am to drive to Six Flags to meet my friends for a day of roller coasters and a nice stroll down memory lane. Glenn and Catherine came up and it was so much fun talking about past college stories and hearing about everyone since college. Its crazy, we were all just a few years ago in Tuscaloosa together and now everyone has moved to different cities, has different relationships, babies, marragies....its all blowing my mind! I guess we are growing up whether we like it or not! We only got to ride the Batman, Mindbender and Superman because of the long lines but because I was in good company I enjoyed every minute. Good times!!!

Me and the batmobile!

Easter

Easter was this past Sunday and it was a wonderful weekend! I went down on Saturday to my parents house and spent the evening with Mom, Dad, and Joey. Mom and I cooked for Sunday's lunch and we all just sat around chatting about the new things in our lives. It was nice to just be the four of us, I actually cannot remember the last time we had no extra guests! Dad grilled his famous ribs and Mom made her famous potato salad....yummm! Dad and I got in the hot tub and had one of those great chats that we never have an opportunity to do and then I hit the hay!


Sunday we ate Easter lunch with Aunt Julie and Uncle Lee and had a spread to feed 10 families. It was amazing! We had ham, homemade macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, mom's dressing & gravy, real green beans, rolls, key lime pie and a whole bunch of appetizers! It was great seeing Aunt Julie and Uncle Lee because of her father's cancer battle we really do not have an opportunity to spend quality time together. It was a lovely weekend and the only thing missing was GranGran and Papa but I did get to hear some intresting stories about them that I had never heard before so that was very nice. I love my sweet family!!!!

Even Mr. Biggs ate too much!
