Charlottetown

Quick Update- Dave and I moved to North Carolina about a month ago. It is fun to live in a big city for a little while. Things I love about living here so far -
1. Panera Bread
2. Trader Joe's
3. Anthropologie
If I lean over my balcony far enough this is what I see:
And if I just look straight out my balcony, THIS is what I see:
Things I DONT love so much about living here so far:
1. The freeway right outside my bedroom window
2. The noise from the freeway outside my bedroom window
3. Did I mention the freeway outside my bedroom window?
Ok, ok so its really not THAT bad. Its like having extra white noise to fall asleep to. Except you get an occasional semi-truck that may wake you up. To make up for it, our apartment is SUPER nice and bakes fresh cookies every day, free of charge!

Welcome to Atlanta Where the Playas Play


Dave and I ventured to Georgia last weekend with Matt and Kyleur to go watch the Braves vs Red Sox baseball game. We had AWESOME seats thanks to my in-laws (John and Cathy)! I dont really love, or actually even LIKE watching baseball on T.V., but going to the game was so much fun! I love that you can get a hot dog, snow cone and diet coke without ever getting out of your seat.

The game was a little slow moving, since only 2 people scored...I guess thats baseball for ya. However, we did get a fun little show in the 9th inning. A fat red headed DRUNK man ran out onto the field and it took 5 security guards to tackle him down. So, you're telling me, those "SECURITY GUARDS" are suppose to be able to protect me, and the players and yet they can't even catch a fat drunk man? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.



On the way home, we found this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, El Norteno. My spanish dictionary tells me that Norteno means "northern". I dont get it? We are in Georgia... I thought that was the SOUTH? Anyway, Dave and Kyleur were on cloud 9. The restaurant had flies all over the place, and to them, it made them feel like they were right back in Mexico (they both served their missions there).


Dave and Kyleur both agree that this place is the closest thing to authentic mexican food since they've been in Mexico. Luckily none of us got sick after eating there.
