Emily's Wedding

This past weekend I headed to Atlanta for the wedding of one of my former students. It is so strange to say that because she just graduated and she was apart of UPC for 4 years. Crazy! Anyway, Emily and Zach got married on Friday evening at the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center. Beautiful location, beautiful bride and good times had by all.

I had a great time at the wedding. Wore a dress and shoes that I got in Vegas. Thanks mom:) I was able to spend time with Emily, fun UPC folks (current and alum), and dance up a storm. The band was really good and got the crowd going. The food was yummy as well. I tried a little of each cake and liked the wedding cake the best.

Each table had cameras and we had a good time taking pictures. Speaking of pictures, my camera's batteries were low the entire evening and I did not have replacements. I almost thought that I wasn't going to be able to take pictures, but thankfully the camera did not die until the end of the evening.

I stayed at Melissa's parents house in Atlanta. They have a wonderful 100 year old home not far from their church. I loved hearing the history of the house. It has so much character. Love the guest room and their hospitality. Oh, and her mom's iron totally rocks. Puts my iron to shame.

On Saturday I went shopping at the Lenox Mall. Had a little trouble getting there (missed my exit), but no worries. I had no plans for the day, so no schedule (wasn't able to meet up with sorority sister due to broken foot). Those are the best days. I started in Macy's. I really love Macy's. I can always find something and that day was no exception. I got two pairs of pants and a game day top. Used a coupon and saved some money. Love it.

The rest of the day was spent at lunch at Corner Bakery, exploring the mall, heading to some other local shops and then grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. We have Trader Joe's in California all over the place. They have a great assortment of items to choose from. I bought Tim some wine since I was there and filled up the cart with other goodies for myself. I put the freezer items in a cooler that I had bought (always thinking ahead) and made my way back to Alabama.

I had the best day and a half in Atlanta. I should get out of town more often, which is funny because I feel as though I have been traveling a ton lately. I missed Star's shower when I was in Atlanta, but did drop off a gift with my friend Melissa to give to her. Hope that they had a wonderful time and I wish them nothing but the best.
