This one's for Claire!

I've been requested to update my blog, so here it goes!

We went up to Justin's 2 weekends ago and had a great time. We got to meet Kate and she's a great girl. They both seem really happy and are very comfortable with each other to have just been dating a little over a month.

After wrangling with traffic on I-75 in mid-town due to construction, we finally got to Justin's. Shortly after we arrived, Kate came over and we headed to do some walking/surviving on Kennesaw Mountain. They decided that we would go on the paved trail around the mountain instead of straight up the side of the mountain. Well, I knew I was out of shape, but that convinced me whole-heartedly! I had to stop a few times to take a breather and after awhile, Justin must have felt bad for me because he said, "Well I guess we can turn around now." Thank goodness! I forgot to mention that Scarlett was there, but she had a great time!

Once we got back to Justin's apartment, we all got ready and went to dinner at Fogo de Chao. Our new favorite restaurant! In case you haven't heard of it or had the pleasure of going there, it's a Brazilian steak house where you have a coaster in front of you with green on one side and red on the other. When you're ready for meat, you turn the coaster to green and waiters come to your table with spits of different kinds of meat and cut it onto your plate. Once you're full, you turn the coaster to red until you're ready to eat more. There are so many different kinds and they all taste amazing! They have a really great salad bar too, but Thomas didn't even bother with that! After dinner, we went back to Justin's to watch the end of the GA-SC game...it was an intense end!

On Sunday, we had a cook-out involving Mason Burgers (one of Justin's specialities) and all the fixins. He invited several friends over, so it was great to meet some of them. The whole weekend was going great until right before lunch, we were coming back from the dog walk area with Scarlett and the apartment manager came up to Thomas and asked if we were just visiting. He said we were and that we would be leaving in an hour or two. She said that dogs that size weren't even allowed to visit. How ridiculous!! She was probably more well-behaved than the other dogs that actually lived there. She didn't jump or bark or anything! What an outrage!

Thomas and I both worked over this past weekend. It was uneventful and that's the way we like it! I came down with some sort of stomach bug on Wednesday, so I stayed home from work Wednesday and Thursday. I'm feeling better, but still sticking to Powerade and chicken noodle soup.

Patrick and Chun are coming to visit on Saturday, so it will be nice to see them. Mama and Daddy will be coming up to work on Granny's house on Saturday, so we'll get to see them too.

Only a few more weeks to my surgery! I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for Thomas and me. Keep them coming!!
