I and Love and You

Every few weeks my sister will call me to come stay the night with her and Reese while Joe is out of town. It's a necessity since she goes into work at 2am...someone has to be home with the baby! 

And honestly, I don't see Reese that much during these little sleepovers. I get in, we eat dinner, I give her a bath and then she goes down for the night. If I'm lucky, she'll wake up before I leave for work and I'll get to see her for a few minutes. But usually, she's still sound asleep when my mom arrives.

And even though I'm not actually spending much time with her during these visits, I know it's moments like these that I'll remember forever. That I'll cherish and take with me always.

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2011

Last night we donned our green and took Buckhead by storm to party the night away with a couple thousand of our closest friends. Nothing like a block party on a Thursday night! After some beer and dancing in the street to some live performers, the streets were being cleared and seeing as Fado was one in, one out, we decided to head over to Moondogs to end the night. It was a great time. Even when I got in bed (and started watching Twilight) at 4am and had to be up at 8 for work. Needless to say, I was exhausted today. Anyway, here are some pictures from the night.

Waiting in line. The theme of our night.  

People everywhere! 

Moondogs. Where I took my pants off once...

Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day!

Shamrock 'N Roll

Today I ran my first 5k. Ever.

Listen. I am not a runner. I wasn't...I guess I can't say that anymore because I am now hooked and want to run every 5k in the state. It was a good time in Atlantic Station to support the Junior League of Atlanta. After about six weeks of training, I came in 10 minutes under my goal and shaved a minute off my best time. Next, I'll look to improve my time and then move on to a 10k. Yikes. 

A favorite

Made it a family affair with two of the cousins. 

The whole gang! 

And apparently now I'm training for the Princess Half Marathon at Disney next year....

Welcome to My Blog

Not my blog. Lee McDougall’s blog. Shall I explain? 

Sunday afternoon, Josie came into town to visit and see Lee McDougall at Smith’s Olde Bar. We started the day with, I guess we’ll call it brunch, at Marietta Diner. A farmer’s omelet, eggs benedict, home fries, and a Belgian waffle later, we were stuffed! After a quick search for my driver’s license, we were off to manicures and pedicures before our mission for cupcakes was underway. After all was satisfied, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our night out!

After getting lost briefly (hint: dropping a pin isn’t always accurate) we arrived at Smith’s Old Bar, grabbed some drinks, and took a seat awaiting the moment we would hear that precious British accent of Lee’s. I’ll admit that the only song of his I actually knew before the show was “Falling in Love for the Last Time.” But…who doesn’t know that song? What I do know is that he introduced it as “and this one was the most played song last year on…my mom’s iPod.” Haha! Precious! Anyway, Lee’s voice is absolutely stunning. And I’m now hooked. He also seems to have that same witty humor the rest of those British boys have. My one regret was that the show was too short. I would’ve stayed and listened all night. So come back Lee!! 

After Lee it was a band called The Coronas from Dublin. Again with the accents!! We were in Heaven. They were actually quite good as well. 

On the way out we stopped to take pictures with Lee and his first reaction was, “Were you just upstairs for the show or did you just come in from the street to take a picture with a random guy?” Haha! Then as J was trying to take a picture of us she actually was taking a video so he said, “Oh, you’re making a video? Welcome to my blog!” Bahaha! I don’t know why but I died. We took one picture, it was blurry so we decided to take another and he said, “Hey, you have a proper smile! This is just my smile.” 

Marry me? You're tall enough. And you can sing and talk to me all day! 

Josie took a picture with him next, we told him the show was awesome, he thanked us for coming and then we left. Or we tried. That’s when we got asked by some random guys where we were going then invited back inside to do shots. Yep. 

And that was our Lee MacDougall experience. If you ever have a chance, go check him out! You won’t be disappointed. 

Next up, Bobby Long in 3 weeks! 

One Year.

This one is for you, my dearest CC. Since it's our anniversary and you called me out on not updating in a month. I love you forever.

Let's make this happen again.
