Cessna 172

This past Friday, Ben cashed in on his Christmas present.  I had given him an introductory flight from the Peachtree DeKalb Flight Academy.  Little did I (or he) know that he was going to be able to FLY the plane.  Flying includes: taxi the plane to runway, take off, and FLY for the whole hour we were in the air.  He had the option of landing the plane, but passed the responsiblitly over to the flight instructor.

We had a wonderful time and it was such a wonderful experience.  Below are a few pictures I took from the back seat...

Tip for Printing Photos

I constantly wish I had printed copies of the photos I post to facebook, put on blogs, email to friends/family members, etc...  I found an easy and fairly inexpensive way to do so tonight... CVS.com

CVS.com is a user friendly website, an extremely quick upload, and mindless order process.

I uploaded 87 photos, it took 15 minutes from start to finnish, and my photos are available to pick up tomorrow at 10... ALL for 16.57 (if I had chosen to pick up in 5 days, my cost would have been 13.28).

Quick Question

Hibachi dinner last night at Nakato's. It was time for the second couple to place their order...it went like this:

"Sir, what will you have tonight?"
"Quick Question.  On the surf and turf, where it says petite-is it really small?"

It was certainly one of those moments when you immediately look the other direction, try not to laugh, and your boyfriend reminds you not to forget....

After the Quick Question

I looked the other direction (you all know what I mean) I saw this:

This is when your boyfriend reminds you to stop staring.

COUGARS BEAT SAMFORD

MJ WINS WITH NEW PURCHASE

 BEN and MJ C of C SHIRTS!

Returning home (Atlanta...still strange) from a weekend in Charleston is always bitter sweet.  However, being able to bring a piece of Charleston home to the city, makes it much sweeter.  Not only do I have new Cougar gear, but so does GA Bulldog, Ben. 

We recently attended the Atlanta Chapter of  C of C Alumni to watch the College of Charleston vs Wofford Basketball Game.  So much fun to join fellow alumni celebrating the victory over Wofford.   

I am ready for the next game, alumni event or not, I've got my New Cougar Fan...
