Weekend Warrior

So, my sister Allison and her boyfriend Paul came into town this weekend. They flew in Thursday night and my parents drove down to our house for dinner. We ate, drank some wine and everyone talked over each other. It was a fun time. Friday morning I got to work late because my sister and I decided we needed to drink some coffee and chat. Jason was already at work and Paul was still sleeping. That afternoon Paul and Allison took me to lunch at Atl Bread Co. We were laughing about how Allison and Paul were not going to be sober at all in Athens. Allison said "oh, we are not going to drink that much because we have the wedding Saturday afternoon and Sarah has to get up Sat morning so she can get back to ATL". Paul and I died laughing and said no way are Allison and Sarah going to hang out and stay sober.......We were right.

I should say they were not alone. Friday night I had planned on going to a movie with my friend Leigh while Jason and his man friends were going to the Braves Game. This is Leigh mid dance move at our house one night. She loves to get down.....










After lunch Allison said she would like me to go to Athens with them and Paul said I should go too. I went back and forth with my decision, called Jason to see what he thought then finally decided on joining Allison, Paul, Sarah and her husband Scott for a crazy night in Athens. I was stupid enough to think I would also be getting up early Sat morning to make it back to Alpharetta in time to hang out with my other friend Carren. Carren said I was not going to make
but I was like, oh I will. don't worry about it.









I should be smarter than this by now but I'm not. So I drive up to Athens Friday night to meet the crew for dinner and we dine at Harry Bissets - it was good with exception to Allisons Ashtray filled black-eyed peas. Those were the most disgusting things ever. I won't go into why but they were. There was not a lot of drinking at dinner so everyone was still pretty calm. We went to some bar that I cannot remember the name of but I remember partying in it a long time ago. I order a Guinness and a water. Very adult of me, I know. As I am about 1/2 way through my Guinness I see this row of cups on the bar. I count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Hmmmm, there are 5 of us. This can't be right, it's our first bar. I ask Scott (Sarah's husband), "What are those"? "Who is going to drink those"? With a huge grin on his face he says "Jagger bombs and we are".........Crap.

We continue with our night going to one more bar before we meet up with the Groom to be, Eric. My family lived next door to Eric and his from the time I was 2 until we all went to college. The age range of kids for both family's are middle 40's down to 29 so there are a lot of good memories. When we got to Boars Head (I think that was the name of the bar) everyone was there - Groom, all grooms men and their dates, father of the bride and all men in the family on the grooms side. There was a bridesmaid there who was escorted out by the father of the bride - she just had a little too much fun; we have all been there. And I will say it was reported that she looked amazing the next day. Rock on sister!


The rest of the night is kind of a blur - there was a lot of laughing, a lot of yelling (as in yahoooo!) and lots of candid shots! I fell a time or two but it was because of this hidden step right in front of the bathroom. It was not my fault. Unless you knew it was there it came out of no where! Anyway, it was a great night and Saturday when I woke up I remembered why I don't hang out with Sarah, Allison, Paul and Scott when Allison is home.........they are crazy! But I do want to thank them for everything and all of the fun! Paul and Scott are hilarious. I can't wait to post the picts of the night and the morning after. I should also thank Jason for taking my phone call at 2:45 in the morning. Oh yeah, and the ones at 2:46, 2:47 and 2:48.....what can I say, I love my husband.

Thanks again for a fun weekend! Love you and miss you!
