200th post!!





I just realized that this is my 200th posting. I just wanted to make everyone aware of this fact :) Man, do I have a lot to say!!

a victor and kristie weekend

I have had another really fun weekend!! Actually the fun started on Thursday. I watched Dave Chappelle's Block Party which is out in the theaters and basically its the 'behind the scenes' look at a musical concert he put on in Brooklyn, NY. It has a lot of my favorite musicians so I really enjoyed it!!

I am starting to get another usual... Chris host parties at a club here in Buckhead called Frequency so Victor, Matt, and I went out to party with him. DJ Kermit hosts the party with Chris and he does an excellent job mixing up the music so we had a lot of fun dancing!! Next week they are supposed to have a guest dj, 4-Ize. I have been listening to his music and am pretty excited to hear him live.

I have been thinking about moving from my current location here in Buckhead so I decided that if I am going to think about it I better start looking. So, Saturday I dragged Victor from complex to complex looking at apartments. After a lot of looking I decided that I really am more interested in renting a loft over an apartment and I found a loft in the new Castleberry Hill district that I really like. Also, it will be more downtown, which I love. I am waiting to find out if they will have an opening for when I am ready to move. If not, I am going to look at privately rented lofts.

After all the shopping both VJ and I were 'starving' so we stopped at Einstein's for a quick bite... which was fabulous!! Yumm... actually I had leftovers so I had an excellent dinner again today!

We tried to stay up long enough to watch the Dukes of Hazzard movie but both fell asleep in the first 10 minutes! All that walking really tired us out.

But, amazingly, we were not tired of each other so today we went to the gym and swam laps before taking Oden to Piedmont Park. It was a little cool but sunny so I wore long johns under my pants and was fine!

It was nice to get out into the fresh air this weekend!! It make me crave summer even more (if that is possible after the fabulous Florida vacation)!

Blind Blues





Just one quick note, last night I went out to Blind Willies , a blues bar, in the Virginia Highlands. I had a ton of fun talking, drinking, and listening to great blues. Definitely one plus of living downtown is all the fun things that are going on! (Now I just need to get a camera to document them!)

FUN FUN FUN!!!

Oh my have I been busy... uploading pictures!!! But I now have all the pictures from the family Florida vacation uploaded, finally! There are about 250 pictures on the link to the left - Florida - March 2006 so if you would like, take a look.

We had a TON of fun on vacation. We got in on Friday morning at about 1am. After spending the night in Tampa we drove to Daytona. On the ride we stopped at the Bentall's to say hello. They were friends of my parents from Jenison Christian Church.

After stopping we spent the next three days at Daytona for Bike Week. It was amazing to see all the bikes. There was also a ton of noise!! Although we had a ton of fun I was ready to get away from the noise on Sunday afternoon.

After leaving Daytona we went to Grandma and Grandpa Engelhardt's villa in Venice where we spent the next week enjoying sun, shopping, eating, golf, and cards. We had the most wonderful weather... it averaged 80 degrees and sunny the entire week!

For those of you who are curious... I think I may finally be over strep!! I am still sleepier faster than usual but I don't feel so sick all the time! So, I continue to sleep more but am feeling good again.

Another side note, I went to Frequency on Wednesday with Victor, Chris and a few other people from work and saw Tommy Lee as the DJ. It was pretty cool to see and Chris took some pictures. When I get the pics I will add them to the blog!

This weekend I went back to Frequency on Friday. Chris and DJ Kermit are promoting there so I went to support my friends! Saturday during the day I did all my errands and then on Saturday night I went out with Carrie, Amy, and Jennifer to Fado for the Post St. Pactrick's day celebration. Today I picked up VJ from the airport... he went to Houston for a black tie party... and have been doing a of work around my apartment and relaxing. I had a lot of fun this weekend!
