Oh Atlanta...

I had lunch w/ Jess and we ate La Madeline's! Oh so yummy! We too celebrated a late birthday for me... It's always great to get some Jess time! :-)

Then i got to see Jersey and her clan... Mainly all of my boys! We went over to their friend's house who made us their famous Romanian Food! OH YUM! Later I went back to their house and got to see the rest of my boys!

Never a dull moment in Georgia....

Birthdays Pt 2.

So the week of my birthday was full of celebration! There's nothing better than seeing some old college friends, hanging with the new roomies, and being able to celebrate mine and my sister's birthdays together for the first time in about 8 years.






A few day later me and my sister found each other back at home in the GA with our parents celebrating our birthdays together... just like the old days... and talk about cupcake overload!
Whew!

Sisters & Birthdays Pt. 1

RAIN!!!

So last weekend I decided to take another trip down south to see my cousins...

it was more off- roading this time... so much fun!
you can go HERE to see all of the pictures.

So for a while now I have been feeling a bit homesick, probably because this is the first time in years I've lived away from the destructions of mother nature. Meaning: Hurricane Season. I miss the rain and i miss the south. But there was an unexpected movement in the atmosphere the evening I got in, we heard a strange hollow sound... getting louder and louder.

"Is that RAIN?!"

All of us jumped up so fast and ran outside.

Indeed it WAS rain.

A rarity in the desert, especially for how long it went on for, but the next evening, as we were driving back home, we found the coolest spot...
