Fun Filled Week

Hey again! Whew, last week was jam-packed, but full of great memories and lots of fun! The week started out with a get together on Sunday, which gave me the opportunity to see many of you, and to be able to catch up with you on what has been happening in your lives. I enjoy the times that I get to spend with each of you.

The rest of the week was spent with the family hanging out and visiting sites around town. My parents and I enjoyed having Ethan and Drew (my nephews) staying with us for the week, and
I even enjoyed the morning wake-up calls when they jumped in the bed and sang my dad's morning song to me (Get up, get up, you sleepy head, get up, get up, get out of bed). No offense to my dad, but when your nephews sing it, it is cute and tolerated a little bit better. One day during the week we went to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. It has been 2 years since I have been to the Aquarium and at least 10 years since I have been to the World of Coca-Cola, so I enjoyed it immensely. It was also fun to watch the excitement in Ethan and Drew at both places as they dragged Wills, a family friend, around to all their favorite things. And Ethan and Drew's best advice for the World of Coca-Cola: "Do not drink the Beverly in the tasting room - it is gross!" Another day during the week, after my brother and sister-in-law arrived in town, we went to Stone Mountain. We rode the cable car to the top of the mountain, which I enjoyed since I had never done that the other times I have been, and enjoyed looking out from the top. After the ride back down, my brother, sister-in-law, and nephews all decided to do the ropes course. The boys especially loved it, and were trying all the "more difficult" obstacles on the course. We then concluded the night with a wonderful laser and fireworks show. I have posted some pictures for the week for you to look at.

On Saturday my Aunt Carol, Uncle Art, cousin Angie and her girls Cynthia, Dayle, and Brandi (on my dad's side of the family) came and joined us for the weekend. We had a great time reminiscing and just spending time together. It is always fun to see family.

Well, the countdown is now 11 days until I leave. I am beginning to decide what I want to take with me and lay it out, so we will see how it goes. I will update you next week on if I packed well or not.

Hope you have a great week, and I will be checking in again soon.
