Erin's Blog

I just found Erin's blog!!! (Actually she sent it to me but who's counting...) She was the one who was nice enough to help me get the job at Buckhead Church and who I was volunteering for. Just just had the cutest baby, which of course there are pictures of on her blog. Check it out :)

Atlanta Braves!!




Last Wednesday as Kendol and I were eating dinner (left overs from my dinner party on Tuesday that turned out wonderful! As usual with my dinner parties I forgot to take pictures...) Victor called and said he had four tickets to go watch the Braves game that night. The one that started in an hour. And he asked if we wanted to go. Sweet! Just needed to find someone else to come with us. I did remember our neighbors state that they would like to go to a Braves game this year so I called up Raleigh and asked if he and roomate Ian were up for a game. Ian had a big test the next day so he was unable to go but the rest of us had a ton of fun at the game!! The tickets were for the VIP section and we had a great view. Not only was the view great but so was the weather! It was beautiful.

I posted a few pictures from the game in the same list as I post all other pictures. Enjoy!!

Cooking, cooking, cooking

Is the theme for me this week. I found out that two people I know had birthdays in the past week so I am celebrating with them this week. One of the guys is Steve, who works at Cbeyond with me. He was actaully the guy who made my birthday cake from scratch, so you know I have to go all out for his, and he wants chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I am making it tonight... so I will have to take a pic and blog it.

Then Kendol's brother Antonio had his birthday last week but is having his party on Saturday. Both Kendol and I have to work but we will take him a cake on Thursday to celebrate! He wants a vanilla cake that is themed in Dolphins or Sharks. So, I am doing the baking and Kendol will be doing the decorating. I figure we should put his creative talents to work!

And, finally on Tuesday I am having another one of my big dinner parties (well, big for my apartment... there will be about 10 people there). Since we are *starting* to see some weather conditions that may be considered fall-like, I have decided to do a big ham, sweet-potato, winter vegetable dinner. I can't wait!! If I have time I will be making an inside out German chocolate cake. My bosses birthday is coming up and he wants me to make a German chocolate cake... I figure this would be a good time to practice!!

BTW - it was good to finally see UofM finally decide to play football!! Hopefully they can keep that up!! Hehe!!

Lovin it!!

I had to stop and write an entire blog about my new job... just to let you know how much I LOVE IT!!! Its amazing that I can go to work and not be completely stressed out!! I am loving this!! And, I know the reason is the people. Everyone there is so friendly, so God-oriented, so laid back. They are wonderful! I have been shadowing a guy named Trip, who is very unique. I tried to explain him to Kendol but the best I could do was a cross between him (i.e. ADD) and my friend Marcus (i.e. loves Macs). My new boss is a guy named Jason and his wife had a baby like 5 days before I started. I found out that most of the women there are newly married and just had a child or is about to. When I was informed of this fact everyone looked and me. I about fell out of my chair before explaining to them that I have a five year plan and neither marriage or children are in it. They laughed at me.

There are so many creative people working at the church, no wonder its such a great place to worship. I don't have a lot of stories myself yet about the different people however there is a new guy named Carlos who just moved from Cali to serve as the Service Programming Director. His family (wife and 3 children) are still there but will be moving down at the end of the month. Carlos has an amazing blog called Ragamuffin Soul that I have added to my favorite. Check his out under my friends section.

Well, thats about it for now. I will keep you posted!

Kept Busy

I have sure been kept busy... and just with work!!

Actually, I haven't had a day off since last Friday (and I don't mean 4 days ago... I mean 11), but I took tomorrow off and will be doing almost nothing all day long. Kendol won tickets to a comedy show so that is the almost. I have bought champagne, orange juice, and peaches so I will be having a Mimosa/Bellini day - probably at the pool! I can't wait!!!

My new job is going really well! They are so laid back and so far the love me... but I expected no less. And they don't need me to be there until 9:30 or so in the morning... so I can easily walk to work!! And, they gave me a Mac laptop... its so small and cute. I can take it home and learn how to use it! I love it!

In other news, I had to go to court on Friday at 7am for the accident I was in... it was easy for me. But, the ease for everyone there depended on what door you went in. I went in the main door, as did about 50 other people. However there were about 15 people who had to come in a side door... in handcuffs!! The judge heard the people in handcuffs first and most of them were there on DUI charges and one was there on a laundry list of charges including speeding at 150 or higher and fleeing the cops. But there was one that made me giggle and got me in trouble with the court officer.

Everyone was in the court room in civilian clothes expect one man, and he was in his red jail jumpsuit. He was the last of handcuffed to be seen by the judge... his crime... urinating in public! Before 8am that charge to me is hilarious... especially since he was in handcuffs and a jumpsuit! I giggled. Which, I found out was a mistake. The court officer looked over to me and told me there was no talking in the courtroom and we needed order... that's when he saw that I had been chewing gum. He made the most upset face and started mouthing to me "no chewing gum" while making wild hand gestures towards his mouth. It is before 8am!!! I had to work really, really hard not to laugh at him. But, I composed myself and within 15 minutes I was in front of the judge. I plead my no contest and thanked the judge for his time before paying my fine and heading to J. Christopher's for some breakfast... then I was off to a day at work.

Never a dull moment!
