thumbs up

congratulations to brad and lindsay garrison! what a wonderful wedding weekend in dallas, tx!

this weekend we had a great time catching up with so many dallas friends and hanging out with richard's family. pedicures with brooke, lunch at chip's, skeet shooting, whataburger, west end, playing pool with frannie and watermark church on sunday - all the good things in just two days!

here are just a few of the fun times!

to infinity and beyond

Last week we returned from a much needed and well deserved vacation in florida. we went sailing with both sets of parents and enjoyed the relaxation and the sun.

other highlights of the trip:

richard played his first round of golf

three spectacular sunsets - each one was different

great wind for sailing (but not too much)

many rounds of rummikub

margaritas by the pool

many thanks to the schulzs and the fuquays for a wonderful long weekend!

vegas baby, vegas!

This weekend, the girls headed west to Las Vegas for a fun weekend together! With Alison living in vegas for a while, we wanted to make a trip to enjoy all the city has to offer. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but we all had a great time!!

We started the weekend on Thursday night at the awesome Red Rock Hotel www.redrocklasvegas.com with a comped room from Alison's boss (so great!). We went hiking in Red Rock park on Friday and saw the beautiful landscape despite the strong winds and cooler temps. Then we hit the famous In & Out Burger www.in-n-out.com for a great lunch before heading to the strip for a fun night on the town.

Friday night, we had started with an incredible dinner at Mon Ami, Gabi www.monamigabi.com followed by a trip to the RIO to see a "show" and then to Cesear's Palace for a VIP trip to PURE www.purethenightclub.com . While the night was pretty out of character for all of us, the VIP life was fun for the evening and we had a great time hitting all the hottest spots in vegas!

After a little bit of gambling and a late night out, we visited the beautiful Bellagio www.bellagio.com on Saturday for the biggest brunch I've ever seen (it's no Shoney's!). We probably ate a lot of food that really shouldn't go together, but for most of us (amy excluded) it was worth it! The Bellagio was probably the coolest of all the hotels and casino's we saw, with the incredible glass art celing and fall gardens in the lobby - what a sight!

Overall, I'd say it was a fun, successful, and memorable weekend for the Atlanta girls! We're already planning out reunion for 2008 - this one will be tough to top! Viva Las Vegas!

go rockies!

what a fun couple of days for rockies fans in denver, colorado!

after 12 years, the rockies are finally headed back to the playoffs!

richard and i had a great time on sunday at the final regular season game at coors field - the suspense was incredible as we watched our rockies beat the diamondbacks and waited to hear if the padres would lose another game to force a playoff....

and they did!!

as everyone knows now, the rockies beat the padres last night in 13 long innings with a fantastic finish!

we are so pumped for the next series against the phillies...GO ROCKIES!!!!!!
