Rainy Saturday

Jay and I were both outside this weekend at different events....while I was outside during a monsoon, Jay squeaked through with a less than rainy day as usual.

I wonder sometimes how it is that Jay is SO lucky because I am sooo NOT lucky. It's a good thing that we're married, because he balances out my luck.

Saturday morning I volunteered at the March of Dimes March for Babies in Marietta. I was there by 7:00 a.m., and it was raining.







And when I left at 10:30 a.m., it was raining.

Jay, on the other hand, had a Pike golf tournament at 1:00 p.m.

They had a slight rain delay for a couple of hours.

But during the tournament, while the rest of Atlanta was under water, this is what the golf tournament weather looked like. It was held in Carrollton. Notice that is where there isn't any rain.





They were able to finish all 18 holes. He has the best luck of anyone I know!

This is Jay's friend & fraternity brother Jacob. Jay sent me an email during the tournament with this picture with just the message "Pants = Green." The only picture they got of the whole tournament was Jacob's lucky green pants. I think I will try to be there next year, if not just to take pictures so the guys can remember their event. Nice pants!

Radio City Christmas with the Rockettes

My parents and aunt came in town to see the Rockettes with us at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. On a side note, the Fox Theater was opened on Christmas Day in 1929. This was Jay and my first time seeing the Rockettes so we were excited to see them at the Fox. We're so glad that we saw it live instead of watching the DVD. Although, now I think we'll buy it just to have when we want the Christmas spirit. You can buy it here.

We also sat in the Orchestra level. This time our view was so much better than the balcony seats that we had this summer. I would definitely recommend spending the extra $20 or so for Orchestra level.



I took the pictures below from our seats.



We were so close that we could see the expressions on the dancer's faces, and every detail of their outfits. It was amazing!

Concert on the Square

We love the Square in Marietta. We've been to a quite few events there, and have enjoyed ourselves each time. During the summer, they host 'Concerts in the Square', and our friends Jennifer & Jimmy got a table. Wes & Katie, Andy & Staci, & Michelle & me joined them for the event.

The weather cooperated, and we all made our way with our goods. Our spread included Williamson Brothers BBQ, beer & wine, dessert, decorations, and good company.

The Ladies - Katie, Jennifer, Michelle, & Staci

The Gentlemen - Andy, Jay, Wes, & Jimmy

As with most events on the Square, our party ended up at Hemmingway's for some live music and (more) libations. It's hard not to have a great time at Hemmingway's...

The Marietta Pilgrimage

We went to the yearly Marietta Pilgrimage on Sunday. We both really like old historic buildings and houses, and Historic Marietta is a great place to see both. Although it was really cold outside, we had a great time.

On the way to the tour



The first house we saw was the Hardage-Smith House (c. 1890) on Polk Street
This house had been updated by a young couple from 2006-2008, and they did a great job.



Second, we saw the The Wellons-Brackman-Gronewald House (c. 1946) on McCord
The owner of this house was a designer, and she had put her 'personal' touch on everything. It was OK.



Finally, we saw Oakmont (c. 1875) on Oakmont Drive

This house has a really interesting history - Kennesaw Hall was on the property, where Charles J. MacDonald (GA Governor from 1839-1843) lived until Sherman burnt it down in 1864. Oakmont was built eleven years later on the same site by MacDonald. The current owners have spent the last few years extensively updating the house, and have done an incredible job. It was a real pleasure to see this house.
