Weekend Wrap Up

What a weekend! I did not let the high temperatures keep me from celebrating my one year anniversary on Saturday! Kyle planned a great day for us, even if he had to modify his plans due to heat. We had breakfast at our favorite brunch spot Five Star Day. Then went to the Georgia Museum of Art, which is located on campus. We had never been before. Then we went back downtown for some shopping. Call us crazy but we walked downtown for awhile in the HEAT. It got pretty bad. I feel like whenever I shop with purpose I never can find anything I like. I did pick up a couple of things:

Print of the ZTA house by a local artist.

Love the coral and turquoise.

My new "D" bangle.

For our anniversary I got Kyle tickets to see comedian Louis CK in Athens in November and "tattoo credit." I realized that every milestone we have had in our relationship he has celebrated by getting a tattoo. He got two new ones, a ship and an eagle.

We went to dinner at the same restaurant we had our first date at. And then were home early to go to bed. I had a wonderful anniversary!

Sorry for the BRIGHT pic.

Saturday night I will admit I was a little distracted. It was the final night of Zeta Tau Alpha's Convention and the time for Silver Awards! Among the silver awards the top seven collegiate chapters are recognized, the last award is the Helen Margaret Harrison award for the most outstanding number one chapter in the country. Gamma Pi has been working towards this award for the last two years. Our tech savvy International Office runs social media VERY effectively and set up #SilverAwards to live tweet the ceremony. I was refreshing my feed every TWO SECONDS! Then it happened....

Picture sent to me from convention, you can't see the GIANT beautiful silver platter, but it is under there!

I am so proud of the women I advise. Everyone has worked so hard for this! I can't wait for them to all get back from summer break, I think this upcoming year is going to be WONDERFUL!

Sunday we ran errands. We went to the mall and I picked up a new dress and tanks from Gap.

All in all a WONDERFUL weekend on so many fronts. Hopefully after the storms we had last night it  will cool down, but "cool" is a relative term at this point. Stay "cool" friends!

Weekend Wrap Up

What a wonderful weekend! Kyle and I were both on call, but it was a great weekend to be on call because there was no one on campus! Saturday morning I had a meeting with a community organization I volunteer with. It was great to wake up and start the day! When I got home Kyle and I went out. We headed to the mall (and I got a lovely new tunic from Gap), and then downtown Athens. The weather was perfect for walking downtown. I went to Agora, one of my favorite thrift stores. It is just wall to wall stuff in there! Clothes, jewelry, records, home decor; you name it, they got it!

Cute idea for old bags!

Loved this figurine

Now that's a statement necklace!

Teal clock

Kyle and I stopped by Walk the Line, were he gets his tattoos done. I thought we were just there to show the healed tattoo he got last month, but NO he wanted ANOTHER tattoo!

Walk the Line Tattoo parlor, love some Cash!

Kyle getting new ink

Yep.... that's my name

That night we stayed in. I baked, we watched movies and just relaxed!

Starting cake pops

Look like Easter eggs.

And let's make some cookies while we're at it

DELICIOUS

It was a different Easter. I didn't attend church, which was a first. Kyle doesn't practice any religion, which is a huge difference in our marriage. But it isn't an issue. I still attend a church, just by myself. We talk about religion, he supports my decisions and I support his. It just is what it is. Since I didn't attend church Sunday, I had a really good devotional at home. I reflected and prayed. I still celebrated Easter, just in my own way. It is also weird because we aren't with family. So there is no big dinner or egg hunt. I miss that. So instead we went to see Hunger Games, Kyle finally finished the book. We both like the book more obviously, but it was interesting to see what they changed and cut out. Kyle made dinner, his turkey chili (my fav) and we enjoyed a night in. Wonderful, fabulous, relaxing weekend.
