Memorial Day Weekend

Yesterday was a fun day-my days are always fun when it involves me going to Atlanta to watch the Braves. Coming off two great starts against the Toronto Blue Jays-it was time for the Braves to hopefully sweep them right out of Atlanta. I got up super early, and met a friend in Statesboro around 5:45 that morning. I know that sounds pretty early, but getting there early means autographs. We arrived in Atlanta at 9:00am. After riding around the city, it was time to try to go get some autographs. It took me about 30 minutes to realize that our chances were slim to none because it was "get-away day" (I totally let that slip my mind lol). Overall, the game was great. Luckily the rain held off, and I actually got a bit sunburned. My seats were great too, by the way. We were 12 rows up in section 117, which is right beside the Braves dugout (close enough that I could have caught a ball tossed my way from a player-although, I didn't get one). The Braves ended up getting that sweep I was hoping for winning by a whooping 10-2! :)

Today marks one month that my brother and his family has been gone. Shoot-time flies! I've started letting little things get the best of me that I probably shouldn't. I get aggravated because I never get to talk to them. They end up calling my house when I'm not around for some reason-bad timing perhaps?! And then I have to hear about everything from my mom-when I would rather hear it from them. It bothers me how when I do get to talk to them my brother and April seem to yawn in conversation. Is that a sign of "I don't want to talk anymore" or "I'm ready to get off this phone?" I guess that will remain a mystery to me.

Well, it's indeed Memorial Day and I have no plans at all. This morning I watched my new movie Nights in Rodanthe, which was a pretty good movie-I can't wait to read the book when it comes. I'm starting a collection of Nicholas Sparks books. I've grown to love his work, and have found a new addiction since JT and Jordan moved away-reading. It is a great hobby and it helps take my mind off things-I read half of A Bend in the Road in one day, so you can imagine just how good it is.
