Atlanta, its good to be home!

Please don't let the title mislead you, we had a great time in Atlanta, but we are glad to be home...finally! Our 4 day trip suddenly turned in to a 5 day trip when our flight home Sunday night was canceled. After waiting around the airport for several hours, having our 8:50 flight delayed until midnight, then, no, wait...its back to 9:30! Only to have it pushed back to 11:40 again 15 minutes later, and ultimately canceled later that night, we threw in the towel around 10:30 and decided to take a flight home the next day. Delta tried to make it up to us by putting us on first class for our flight home Monday, however, we have both vowed to never fly them again! Monday turned in to a great day, one more day with the family, and we got to go to the Georgia Aquarium, not bad! The wedding was beautiful and it was great to spend time with our Tallahassee family as always!

BBQ, "Tick Checks" and Boiled Peanuts in a Can...

...only in Birmingham! Teddy and I just got back from celebrating 4th of July in the deep south, Birmingham, Alabama! We stayed with our great friends George and Marina and got to spend some time with one of our favorite families, the Crumps! The fire works were great the night we got in, and the BBQ just got better and better.... we piniced at Oak Wood Mountain State Park, had dinner with Linda, got to visit Matt at the station and spent the last day with Matt at lunch and just hanging out...it was a blast! We got in way too late last night, but just in time to unpack and pack again for Atlanta on Thursday! It never ends....but we love it! :)

Happy Anniversary JLB!

My Firm just celebrated its 8th Anniversary last week! Needless to say this is not an anniversary I will soon forget. Or anyone for that matter...

Our Anniversary is July 3rd. We always eat lunch out and then have a big Happy Hour at the office for all of our friends and family. Good times! This year we had lunch at Casablanca Cafe on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. It started with Calamari, Shrimp and Escargot, and of course, Margaritas overflowing.... Now, I have to tell you, I questioned the Calamari at first, being pregnant and all, but I went for it! I also had grilled Mahi with rice and a papaya salsa. Yummy! Until about 20 minutes after the meal. My boss, sitting just to the left of me, screams "oh my gosh, you're breaking out in hives!!" (he's a little dramatic at times). Well to my surprise I was breaking out in hives! Red bumps and spots all over my left arm, neck and back that quickly made its way to my chest and face! Scary! Immediately I think 'the calamari'. Or maybe the Mahi? It was panic mode there for a minute since everyone knows Im pregnant of course. With a quick call to the doctor, and a Benadryl, the hives were fading within 30 minutes! Below is the 2008 group picture of our Firm. As you can tell, my face and chest look like a lobster, and you can almost see the bumps down my left arm! After all the madness, it was narrowed down to the Papaya! So no more papaya for me! Bring on the Calamari....

Later today, Ill post about our weekend in Birmingham!
