free time

Adam and I have really not gone "out" in quite awhile, but for some reason the past few weekends have been like we're in college again. Of course, I've taken so many pictures and not updated my blog - so now I've got a lot to update on. (And by a lot, I really mean nothing worth actually reading/looking at.)

It was a big couple weeks for our high school best friends. First up, Alysa! She is getting her Masters in Family Counseling (deep stuff, huh?) and had a brief break between classes starting back up, so she convinced us to go out with her in Buckhead (aka - our college stomping ground). I have to admit, I used to be there every weekend (sometimes Friday and Saturday... barf) during college breaks and when I first graduated. Since I'm now getting so old and frail, it takes me a little longer to bounce back between trips. I was due!

I've already lost track of where I am. Whatever. Adam built me THIS as a surprise!! It's for our guest bedroom and I found one on Pinterest I lovedddd, and he built it. High five to me for marrying a handyman! Now we just have to paint it.

The next weekend, Dominica found out she passed the ridiculously hard test to become a Court Reporter! She's taken it a few times and was really starting to get bummed out, but she DID IT! Clearly, we had to go out and celebrate. This time we chose to keep it local at the Marietta Square (literally 1 mile from our house).

We started out classy at the Marietta Wine Market (of course), and then things went downhill quickly...

Headed over to Hemingway's for a couple more drinks and some apps...

Picked up some Little Ceasar's pizza and more booze for the patio...

And ended the night at the sketchiest bar - Mulligan's.

It was so worth it. Going out is so much more fun when you're celebrating!

However, the fact that Adam and I had nursery duty at church the next morning was not so fun. Is that some sort of double sin? Luckily, my husband is the Child Whisperer.

I don't even remember what day it was - but we also had a pool party with Kelly, Vann and Jason at some point! And that was fun!

Ok - done with that update. On to the next!
