Amazing Weekend!







Hello Everyone! This past weekend was a blast! I got to spend Friday night to Sunday morning with my brother! He was in town for a wedding and I got to be his date ha! Friday night we went to this sandwich shop down the street from the hotel we were staying at- The Ritz Carlton. =) called Potbelly. Much like a subway but hmm.. classy-er. Very nice! Then we pretty much crashed and got to sleep in! Off we went to breakfast at Cafe Brazil. AMAZING FOOD! Greg ordered so much the waiter had his eyes bug-eyed as he went on and on haha! The waiter even needed extra help from a fellow waiter to get all the food out!! lol, afterward we resided in the hotel room, relaxed, and ordered The Love Guru with Mike Myers. Hilarious movie! Quick got ready for the wedding and off we went! I actually saw the director of my school there, (He even recognized me ha.) and the director of the third year school of youth! (The bride and groom met here at my school) Ceremony was beautiful and the food and the reception was even better! My favorite part was the Martini Mashed Potato Bar. (Mashed potatoes, bacon bits, butter, cheese, chives...Heaven on earth in a martini glass) It was a dry reception which was very very cool of them to do! For those of you who don't know what that is- its a reception without alcohol. After the night was over Greg was eager to go to sleep since he had to be out of the hotel by 5:45. Of course woke me up and I ended up watching Step by Step and Sabrina the Teenage witch till the sun came up! Melanie picked me up not too long after I hit insanity of watching tv from the 80's. We hit up IHOP which always reaches perfection! Viva la French Toast- hash browns, eggs, two bacon strips, three french toast pieces...all went into MY BELLY! =0

And we made it through okay from Hurricane Ike. Houston got hit pretty hard- keep them in prayer. Dallas just felt the rain and winds from the outskirts of the spirals. Thank you for all your text and calls! Scary for a bit but it was all good!

Here's a video of my team that my friend put together of our team and a song!
Enjoy!

Julie - Well, first, food comments: Now, THAT's a cake! And Sean goes to a Potbelly in D.C., so we know it well. A fun place!

Glad you had a great weekend with Greg. You look beautiful. Fantastic video - nice work, Julie, and thanks for sharing. We hear you're a little under the weather (moms do talk!), so feel better and God bless!

Your Mom's BFF :)
