Just a quick post to say I’m alive.. It’s been a wet, but fun weekend, and I have been enjoying my time outside of the house. Unfortnately, I didn’t take any photos.

Friday night, Thomas and I volunteered through our church at the Pride Festival, Atlanta’s huge celebration of bi, gay, lesbian, and transgender sexuality.  We collected money to help keep the festival free.  Anyway, all was going well, and we were having a good time, until a gust of wind rushed through the park, taking with it people’s tents, trashcans, and even some money out of our buckets. Then, all of a sudden, the main stage that we were standing infront of came crashing down, collapsing on top of the lights, speakers, and everything. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the festival was shut down for the rest of the night. We headed out to dinner with a few of the other volunteers though and the night turned out okay.

Saturday, we went to Dave and Mandy’s house for a barbeque. Dave was Thomas’ high school buddy, but now he lives about an hour away from us. We had a good time meeting all of their college friends. The food was delicious, the company was fun, and Dave’s house is beautifully decorated. That reminds me, we haven’t had anyone local over to our house in a while. We need to have another party or dinner sometime.

Sunday, we headed out to the Georgia Southern Bridal Show. Thomas went out of pity - he felt bad that I didn’t get to go in Raleigh, when our mothers and his sister went. I was kind of glad he came along, since I didn’t want to go alone. However, for the $20 we paid, I definately don’t think it was worth it. We got a few flyers from photographers, met a very pushy David’s Bridal saleslady, and tried several flavors of cake. I learned that I don’t like fondant cake at all. Buttercream is my preference.
