Happy Anniversary to us!
We had a great relaxing weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We rented a cabin right by a creek in Cherry Log Georgia, in the blue ridge mountains. It was such a nice little cabin! It had a wrap-around porch overlooking the water, with a porch swing and a hot tub. The cabin had a loft bedroom and a fooz ball table. It was one of our best anniversaries ever! We plan on coming back again in the winter. We also got to bring the dogs. Dupree had a great time, but Hazel had some anxiety about being in a new place.
Hazel wonders where we are going. She didn't whine TOO much on the way there....
Robbie and I sit on the porch of the cabin. What a great place!

The dogs try and get settled in.
We had a great time.
That's right bitches!

Okay so I haven't been posting lately....
I will be posting again soon, I promise. I have been really busy with work lately and all that good stuff. We have been hanging out at home a lot...having people over for BBQs (with veggies for the herbivores), poker, etc... Went to East Atlanta Beer Festival and didn't get NEARLY as drunk as I did last year :(
Here's some random pics to tide you over.
Gabe, Cory, and Sam memorial day weekend on our porch

EABF! Lauren, Robbie, and Megan. It was HOT that day! I got some serious sunburns, but all-in-all it was pretty awesome
Thought I would throw in a cute picture of Maddox. He is getting so big!
I am excited about our trip to the mountains for our FIFTH anniversary this month. Then in July we are going to Edisto Island with Sam and Mary and their family and I believe a few of our other friends are going to make an appearance. After we get back from that trip I have one more week of work left and then I leave to go the STL! My plane leaves the morning of the 22nd and I am ready to get down for Patrick's 30th! All this is in preparation for my first year of graduate school-starting August 18th. Wish me luck!

Good Times at Wanee!
We had a great time last weekend at Wanee music festival! We saw moe., MOFRO, Govt. Mule, Derek Trucks, Greyboy Allstars, Bob Weir and Ratdog, and more. We had a lot of fun! I can't wait until October when we go back for MagFest!
Robbie gets the car ready to go. Nate and Robbie did a great job of packing while Lauren was at work. Without them we wouldn't have been able to leave on Thursday
Nate stands by his gear
Some of the beer in the cooler before the ice. Our cooler takes up a lot of room

WANEE!!
We are going leaving to go to Wanee on April 10th! It's going to be awesome! Unfortunately the Allman Brothers had to cancel due to "health issues", but MOFRO, Oteil, Derek Trucks, and others are still going to be there! I can't wait!! Our banner was created from pictures for Live Oak, the venue at which Wanee is being held and our all time favorite festival venue! Let me know if any of you want to come!

Tornadoes in Atlanta
Tornadoes ripped through Atlanta friday night. The storm was incredible, it rained harder then I have ever experienced. 27 people were injured that night, but it is amazing that it wasn't more. The main damage was done literally 5 miles from my house. In fact, Cabbagetown had about 20 houses leveled and it is the neighborhood next to Decatur. Below is a picture of the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, right down the street from us. Friends of ours lived in these lofts a few years back. We drove by the damage today, debris was everywhere, and it had a HORRIBLE stench! A sewer main had to have broken, because it was pungent.
We had another tornado touch down in Atlanta this afternoon. Fortunately it didn't do the damage that friday night's tornado did, but the storms killed two people in further away counties. We are actually under a tornado watch until 1:00 am tomorrow morning!

Personality Profile
I did one of those personality things on http://www.mypersonality.info and this is what it came up with. The questions were not very well worded and they used "yes, no" type scale for one of them instead of using a sliding scales like a 5 or 7 point likert scale. Although it is interesting that one of the careers suggested for people with "intrapersonal" intelligence is "psychologist" although it doesn't specify what kind. I am assuming that they are referring to a "therapist" which is that LAST thing is the world I would want to be. ANYWAY, it was just something to pass the time.

Hazel's surgery
Hazel got spayed recently and was so pathetic when she came home. Of course, she was back to her old annoying self the next day.
Poor Hazel...
Snoooooooww!
These are pictures from when it snowed a couple of weeks ago. That will probably be it for the year so everyone was pretty excited. All of you up north probably won't understand
