Had a great time in Atlanta, but it is good to be in home sweet Chicago for now.

During the week Garry and I went to see the movie 'Step Brothers' that stars Will Farrell. The movie definitely had some funny parts but I think Garry and I both agree that it would be just a good rental. But at least we were able to eat popcorn at the theater. I think that is really the main reason why we both even wanted to go to the movie theater.

I attempted running outside in ATL during the week. I waited until about 8 at night b/c it is sooo HUMID. I took Rocky to keep me company. He was definitely not used to running that long. But it was nice to get outside and run there.
On Thursday we had a work event at a sushi place. I think people from work are slowly catching on that Garry and I are dating, which will make things much easier to deal with.
Friday night Garry and I cooked dinner for his roommate and some other friends. I tried London Broil for the first time, which was really good. I also made my favorite salad (spinach, dried cherries, walnuts, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette) After that we went to meet the wedding party and other of his friends at a new bar called Fado. It's 4 levels and it was packed.

Saturday, Garry had a soccer game and was a bad girlfriend and did go:-( I decided to go to his friends pool instead and just wait for him to get there..I need to get some sun before the wedding and it was too hot to sit outside and watch a soccer game down there. The humidity is terrible!
The wedding was at 7PM and on the way to the Church we saw big storm clouds. As the grandmothers were walking down the isle the power started flickering and it finally went out. After 20 minutes they decided to go on with the ceremony in the candle light. It was actually pretty. Long Catholic mass though...The reception was very nice and the food was delicious. After the reception we went to the same bar as Garry's birthday where they had live music which is always fun.



Before I left for the airport on Sunday we went to church and then had dinner at "5 guys" It is known for hamburgers and is delicious. They have fries with malt vinegar at the fair and they have shelled peanuts...it was a great dinner!

I finally made it back to Home Sweet Chicago last night. It feels good to be home! On the cab ride home to my apartment there is a great view of the city that I see every time I come home from the airport and it was a great feeling to see that b/c I knew I was going to be home for a week.

Today, I was able to go to the grocery store! It is always a fun trip when you don't have a car and its raining and the bus doesn't come, so once again ended up carrying y groceries all the way back. Fun times in the city!
