Grandmom's 80th Birthday
After the ice started to melt my mom, grandmom and aunt all came to Atlanta for the weekend to celebrate my grandmom's 80th birthday. On Friday we ate at my new favorite pizza place, Antico Pizza. It is delicious and authentic pizza from Napoli. All the ingredients are shipped in from Italy and you eat on community tables inside the kitchen with the ovens.
Saturday we went to the matinee of Beauty and the Beast at the Fox Theater. We were there with every little girl in Atlanta but we all enjoyed the show and I was singing the songs for a few days afterwards. We also ate a delicious steak dinner and opened gifts before watching Miss America on tv. It was a great girl's weekend celebrating my wonderful grandmother.

Merry Birthday, Happy Christmas
This year I got several days off for Christmas and was able to go home to Alabama. It was a great break and nice to be home with family. One night we drove through an awesome street where everyone went all out with Christmas decorations and lights.
Here are some of the highlights:
I also got to celebrate my 28th birthday on Christmas Eve. I got a massage that morning, had a dance party and listened to records with dad and ate a delicious dinner at Kobe Japanese Steak House. This was a treat to eat out because we have always cooked at home. We attended the 8p Christmas Eve service at our church and came home to toast champagne and eat cupcakes. It was an awesome day... one of my favorites of all time.
We woke up Christmas morning to large snowflakes falling. Nothing stuck but this is as close to a "White Christmas" as we get in Atlanta. We visited with neighbors, ate more delicious food, opened gifts and lounged around all day. You can't beat that.

2nd Annual Kentucky Colonel's Day at Churchill Downs
Last year I wrote about going to Louisville, KY for the Kentucky Colonel's Day at Churchill Downs. My family decided to make this a tradition and we went again this November. No one left big winners but Michael got his picture with famous jockey Calvin Borel. It was another mini-family reunion with lots of cousins and family friends.

Memorial Day in KY
Slightly out of order but for Memorial Day my mom and I traveled to Kentucky to visit my aunt and grandmother. We spent the weekend at their lake house and enjoyed boat rides and even hosted a party for all their lake friends. During one of our boat trips we took a picnic to a little cove they called the "fern grotto" to eat lunch. It is beautiful there.
Beach Trip
Sorry I've been a bad blogger again...
In early June my family went to Watercolor resort in Florida. We spent an entire week (Saturday-Saturday) and we didn't see a drop of oil anywhere. I absolutely love it there. Life is so relaxed and easy. We spent our days at the beach, the pool, riding bikes, sleeping or going to Happy Hour. We got to celebrate my parent's 30th wedding anniversary and Jay even got to come for a few days. It was a great vacation.

Almost forgot...
I said I'd post pictures from Easter in Tuscaloosa. We had nice weekend with beautiful weather and lots of family time. My aunt and grandmother also made the trip so it was fun to have everyone together. We did some shopping on Saturday and then Sunday I went to the contemporary service at my family's church, First United Methodist Church of Tuscaloosa. Then afterwards I met up with everyone else for the traditional service. I loved seeing how far the contemporary service has grown since I worked on it in high school. They are really doing a great job. After church we enjoyed lunch at Northriver Yacht Club and then I drove back to Atlanta.

Kentucky Colonels Day at Churchill Downs
This past weekend I made the trip up to Louisville, KY for Kentucky Colonels Day at Churchill Downs. The Kentucky Colonels is a social and philanthropic group. Each year the group hosts the Kentucky Derby Extravaganza and several other social events as well as donating over a million dollars to deserving Kentucky based non-profits.
I was made a Colonel when I was a teenager and it is a tradition in my family. This weekend's event was held on "Millionaire's Row" at Churchill Downs. We spent the day eating, drinking and watching/betting on the horse races. It was a great weekend!

Bad Luck Weekend
This weekend was supposed to be full of fun things. My parents were coming over and I had a lot planned. On Saturday it took my parents 6 hours to get to Atlanta. It normally takes 3.5 They were sitting still on I-20 for an hour and a half while a big wreck with a Fed Ex truck was cleared.
They finally arrived and my dad and I had tickets to see Elton John and Billy Joel together in concert. Long story short...I left the tickets at home, was locked out of my apartment and had no way to get in touch with my mom who had the key because her cell phone was upstairs with the tickets. My dad and I drove all over Atlanta looking for her until she finally came home around 9:30...2 hours after the concert began. Here are my sad unused tickets.
Also that night, I accidentally drove into the side of my apartment/garage and did this to my car... OUCH! I'm officially one of the worst drivers ever. Who hits their own apartment?
The weekend did start to pick up later. We watched the Hawks defeat Portland from great seats, had dinner with Alvin where dad & he tried Bison and we did get to hang out/visit a lot. Now they are onto Destin to spend the rest of mom's Spring Break week.
