Well it seems again I have let this slip behind, partially because of terrible internet and partially because of laziness. We haven't done too much since the last update but the things we did were fairly large so it is well beyond time for an update:
Monday August 11th:
Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy! I hope someone understands that.. In any case we finally made it to see The Fluffy movie, something we were freaking out about as soon as we heard about it. After a few issues actually trying to get into the theater since it was a late night showing we did make it in. The movie was fantastic and hilarious. Exactly what you would except from Fluffy. We have been fans of his for a while so it was nice to be able to finally catch the movie, pretty sure it was the last showing in the area at least. Nothing like a completely empty movie theater to be able to joke around and laugh as loud and as much as you want. Hopefully one day we will actually be able to watch him in person, a girl can dream.
Tuesday August 13th:
The big event if you will. This was the day 5 months in the making. We went to the Carnivores Tour, with AFI, 30 Seconds to Mars and Linkin Park. Brandon has wanted to see Linkin Park live for a long time so we made an event out of it. Luckily he already booked the time off from his old job, and I wasn't starting my new one yet so it worked out nicely. We reserved a hotel room down in Charlotte and to save us from having to deal with the hassle of driving in Charlotte and parking at the concert (plus a little extra luxury) we used Lyft to drive to and from the concert. The concert was absolutely amazing. I've never been to a show like that and couldn't have asked for anything better. 30 Seconds to Mars spent most of their set in the audience, at one point Leto was only a handful of row in front of us. But the big deal was obviously Linkin Park: Wow just wow. They put on an unbelievable show. High energy the crow was loving it jumping and singing along fantastic at every step. This concert brought me around to the other side of understanding the great appeal of concerts. Even with a couple of issues along the way the night couldn't be ruined. It was great to be able to make one of Brandon's smaller wishes come true and I would never have had that experience if we weren't together. That adventure set the bar for our future concerts pretty high, we'll have to see if Atlanta can live up to it.
Wednesday August 14th:
We wanted to do a little something to celebrate both of our new job and our anniversary was the next day so we ate out at a nice restaurant. Brandon has wanted to try a Rodizzio style restaurant since he heard about one from his brother. Well a groupon for one just happened to pop up for one at the perfect time. Oh my god, meat. The whole thing is one giant all you can eat meat-fest. All of them were delicious, well cooked and high quality. We stuffed ourselves for probably over an hour on different meats, I don't believe either of us tried the same thing twice. Plus they were still bring out other things as we were waiting and leaving. Expensive but a nice treat.
Sunday August 16th:
An unexpected opportunity presented itself on the way back to my house. Our downtown does a salute to soldiers event, well Sunday was the classic car show and parade. We had no idea about it until actually driving through the downtown area. There were a couple hundred classic cars in our little downtown. We called my dad who met us up there and spent a good 3 hours walking around. Even if that wasn't enough there were more cars constantly streaming in even as we were leaving. Pretty cool to see that man cars in this little town, not something I would have expected at all.
Sunday August 24th:
Months ago Brandon ordered tickets for the CLT Knights game and it was finally the day. We were worried about how the weather would turn out since it was supposed to be raining most of the day but luckily for us all it did was cover the area in a blanket of clouds. It worked out nicely since that way it wasn't sweltering hot like it has been. The game was a different experience from the Crawdad's game that was have been going to since these guys seemed to actually know what they were doing and didn't spend half the time dropping the ball. The home team won in extra innings, which was really a win-win situation for me since he was kind enough to get us tickets to a game where they were playing the O's affiliates (so sweet). Havent seen many game so into extra innings so that was a great for me as well. We ended up with some good picture to document our adventures together. And actually when we were walking around, he stopped for a minute, but I ended up being fairly close to a foul ball. Not close enough to catch but it was still neat to see. Maybe next time.
We haven't been as active on adventures as we normally are as we are both settling into the new jobs so there has been a lot of lazy time. A few meals out with great company and conversation, some not so nice meals out that we are still dealing with. Sadly we have gotten out of our habit of cooking together so we are going to be working on that this week sometime. Plus we are planning some adventures that are later in the near future. I will have to do the pictures from the concert, car show and baseball game when I am back on my own computer.
