Mom and Nichole's visit

Last weekend was so fun! It started out pretty chaotic, though. Thursday, my mom and sister, Nichole were going to fly in to Chattanooga around 1pm. Well, maybe in a fantasy world! They flew to Atlanta from Pensacola and they cancelled their flight to Chattanooga, so Len and I had to drive in the horrible 5:00 Atlanta-in-the-rain traffic...the worst kind there is! Talk about 5 hours just to get to the airport (usually it takes 2 1/2hrs tops). We literally moved 0.6miles within a 2 hour timeframe. UHH!! Then we picked up my mom and sister and started to head toward the Cheesecake Factory, or so we thought. We ended up circling interstate 285 (which is a circle) for like 30 minutes then finally turned around and eventually we found it! It was so yummy! We don't have one here, so it was really a special treat! I hate Atlanta, but I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory!! So the next day, Friday, we went to the Chattanooga airport to pick up their luggage and then we went shopping ALL DAY!! I spent too much money and it was cold that day so I wore boots, and they made my feet hurt soooo bad! That night we ate dinner at Provino's Italian, they have such wonderful food. Then we went to see a movie, The Prestige. That was an awesome movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you really have to, it was excellent! The next day, Saturday, Nichole and mom cooked us breakfast, mmm! I think I am still full from that breakfast! Then we went to the Riverpark, which is a local park that is all along the side of the Tennessee river and we walked along the sidewalk and enjoyed the views. Then we swung on the swings, and played some wiffle ball. That night I cooked dinner and then we all played Taboo...I know it doesn't seem like it, but Taboo can get pretty competitive, something about that game brings out the competitive nature from within people! Afterwards me and Nichole watched Home Alone. The next day was so sad because they were leaving. We dropped them off at the airport and said our goodbyes! :( Luckily this time, they were not stranded at the Atlanta airport on the way home! I miss them already. We had the best time just hanging out w/ one another and laughing so much...I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I guess the next time I will see everyone will be on Christmas, (hopefully) if I get off of work! Here are some pictures of the weekend.

Ashley's wedding

(Sorry I'm publishing this so late).
Len and I went down to pensacola, yet again last weekend. I think that this was the 4th trip in 6 months or something like that. We had so much fun! It was so great to see so many old friends! Thursday after we arrived, Me, Jill and her mom got pedicures! Later on that night was Ashley's bachelorette party and the reuniting of all the old friends. Afterwards we went to TGI Friday's, then Seville that night. Friday I got to hang out w/ my family and we ate Mexican for dinner at Henry's Tex-Mex which is my parents' favorite place to eat at. That night a bunch of us (Len, Tracy and I, Ashley and Hamid and some of their friends, Kristi and Ruco, Jo and Justin, Jill and Justin, Emily and Chris) went to Capt'n Fun's downtown and there was a live band which we all danced to and I sang a song on stage-yikes! We also saw a few of Len's friends there from college. Saturday morning a few of us met at Village Inn for breakfast. Afterwards me and Heather took Ike and Aubby to the doggy park. Aubby was sooo cute, she's just a little puppy, and she kept tripping over her own ears! Let's see, later on I met Justin Manny, Jo, and her man Justin at Beef O' Brady's for lunch and to watch LSU and UF play.

Then Saturday night was Ashley's wedding at Skopelo's. Len and I danced in the moonlight, it was sooo beautiful outside.

After the wedding, me and Len met up at Seville w/ some of his college friends who were also just at a wedding. Those people are sooo much fun, it was really great to see those people again...and of course Len was really happy about the little reunion of a bunch of old S.A.E. guys and A.D.Pi girls that he hadn't seen in awhile.

Sunday all of my friends and their significant others met for lunch at Sonny's-yummy! I'm so glad I got my fill of Sonny's because we don't have one here in TN. That afternoon, we said goodbye to my family and headed out on the road for a LONG 5 hour drive! We had such a great time and I can't wait to get to see everyone again...whenever that is!
