Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was tremendously busy. We started it off by going to the Georgia Tech football season opener versus South Carolina State.

Here's us before the game started, i.e. pre-sunburn of the century. There are no pictures to document, but I'm pretty sure that I had a second degree burn on my upper arm!




The band always makes a "T" during their pregame show. You couldn't appreciate it from our angle, so I just took a picture of it on the handy dandy gigantic screen.




Our seats are in the corner near the north inzone, so we have a great view when they're down close to the goal line! Notice also how many people are in attendance. It was pretty incredible!





In celebration of the 41-10 victory, we went to Papi's for some delicious Cuban cuisine. We both opted for the traditional sandwich & let me tell you, they were in true form that evening because the sandwiches were delicious!

Sunday was nice, just church & some more football. (There was so much football crammed into this weekend that I was amazed at Nathan's stamina watching it.) Monday morning we woke up super early to go help out at the bishops' storehouse over in Tucker. We both enjoyed the opportunity to serve & got to go on a mini tour of the facility. It's truly amazing what the church can do.

Now, I wish so badly that I had a picture of our lunchtime adventures on Monday afternoon. We decided to try out this restaurant that advertises a lunch sushi buffet. Trick is, that sign is the only thing printed in English in the entire restaurant! Of course, as a corollary, we were the only non-Korean people in the place. Pretty decent sushi though.

Here's an updated picture of Electra, courtesy of our new digital camera.

And we're off!

Contrary to what I just posted on my personal blog, I have decided to post about our comings & goings after all. I don't really have pictures just yet to support them, so don't hold your breath for posts! Basically because I want to have something to say, here's a little of what we've been up to for the last 8 months & change.

We got engaged & took some pictures. I like this one. It's not the one we sent out with the invites, but then again our invitations were pretty formal. (For which, we got kudos all around!)




We got married. It was a good time. Then we had our honeymoon. There aren't so many pictures of that!






We went to John & Stephanie's for New Years & got some awesome presents. Thanks y'all!


Everyone took a trip down to Grandmother's for Mother's Day. We had a lovely time & couldn't resist getting in the water even if we were in church clothes! (P.S. Did you know the ocean sloped sideways in Pensacola Beach? hehe)





We were homeless for a while there while we waited to hear about a job. John & Stephanie took us in because they're awesome like that. I blew some bubbles.




Everyone was jealous that we got to hang out in Columbia, so they came on down for the Fourth of July. We made some tie dye shirts. (Not pictured: Stratt in his adorable tie dye onsie!) Also not pictured was the amazing pirate fireworks finale. We were all too awestruck to bother with cameras.

Since then & scattered throughout, we've been to a couple Braves' games, set-up a new apartment (thanks, Ikea!), and had various & sundry other adventures. It's been a good time for the most part & we're excited for more!

College football starts tonight with the Utah v. Pittsburgh game. Then the real fun begins with Georgia Tech v. South Carolina State on Saturday. Hopefully, we'll dig up a working camera so we can document our weekends this fall!
