Peachtree Road Race 2008

Erin and I ran our first race together. We completed the annual Atlanta 4th of July tradition of the Peachtree Road Race. It was a crazy race with over 57,000 people running down Peachtree Street between Buckhead and Midtown. Our numbers were 72667 and 72666 so we ended up in the twice to last heat. We didn’t get to the starting line until an hour and 4 mins into the race. Because of the number of people in the race it attracts a lot of advertising while you race. From radio station pumping music into the streets to the local priest who sprinkled Holy Water on runners and everything in between. This provided some great entertainment during the 6 mile race. All in all this was an awesome experience. It was a lot of fun to run a race down a historic street in Atlanta and also to do a race with my little running wife!

Good job babe cannot wait till next year!

My new and improved website!

I am very excited! Paul and I have been working hard and have finally updated my website for my business. It has been a long time coming but is now online! Most credit defiantly goes to Paul who worked very hard with the awful web design software we have. I know he got annoyed with it but I think it turned out well. So, thanks babe! And thanks to Ben Lew who did a fabulous job coming up with my new logo. I love it and I think it really modernized the whole look of my business. Check it out:

My version of our trip to Colorado!

While Paul was having a good time riding his motorbike, I was hanging out with family in Denver and helping to plan the big hoorah for my grandparents. It was their 50th wedding anniversary! Paul and I have a long way to go! Only 46 more years! The party was a lot of fun. It was so good to catch up with a lot of my family that is all over the US. Here are some pics:

This was the centerpiece for all the tables. We used the same flowers my grandmother had in her bouquet and the put a different picture from their wedding at each table. I thought they turned out really cute

My cousin Jennifer really wanted me to take this picture of just me and her. She is pretty cute!

My cousins Abbey and Caitlin being silly wearing all pink!

Yes, these are all my cousins, not nieces and nephews. I am the oldest of 13 grand kids! They were all watching the tent being put up. They thought that was really cool to see.

I got to catch up with some of my college girls. This is Kym and Sasha. We were RA's together, those were good days! Kym, the one on the left in expecting a little girl soon. They were sweet and drove from Boulder and Littleton to see me!

My grandparents!

50 years! Hard to believe.

My sweet cousin Max trying to fit in with all the girls. So precious!

The cupcake tree!

I thought a cute picture of us!


And of course I got to see my two best buddies, Jessica and Brittany!
I never go to Colorado without catching up with them!

Riding the Motorbike

My Dad won this sweet bike from King Sooper's in Colorado Springs. I was living life on the edge that day no helmet and I had to of reach 20mph+!

Braves Game

Paul and I and a bunch of our friends went to a Braves game recently. It was a lot of fun! And that is all I have to say about that!

My New Hobby

This year I have been on a search for a new hobby. So I have been trying to make some tasty home brewed beer. It took some time but the 5 gallons of golden beer was well worth it. If you are in Atlanta, give me a call for some free beer! I have way too much. Below are some pictures of the process.

So I have noticed a trend in our blog. It has defiantly turned into "Paul and Erin's adventures and travels" blog. But, thats all we got going on until we have kids. I have defiantly seen the trend of all my friends and familys blogs going from no kids blog to nothing buy kids blog. But it may still be a few years before you see that switch in ours (who knows). So, sorry if you are getting board at looking at Paul and I's faces, but thats all we got! Case in point, we just got back from Destin, Florida. We celebrated our 4th anniversary there. It was beautiful. By far the best beach I have been to. White sand, crystal clear water and just amazing blue skies. It was so nice to celebrate. This seems like the first time we have done much of anything for our anniversary. Either we have been super broke, moving to Atlanta, or have been super broke. But not this year! We worked a little extra and then celebrated a little extra. Here are some pics!


Hanging out on the beach




We went para sailing! It was awesome and little scary (hence the no smiles in this picture)








This just looks like a Corona ad to me!




I buried Paul in the sand!




This crab popped out of the sand while we were building a sand castle

My New Toy

I got a miniature JB Hunt 18 Wheeler at work. Now I just need some small boxes and pallets and I will be set.

Camping Trip to Cloudland National Park

Paul and I did a little camping trip to the northwest corner of Georgia. We went two of our good friends Justin and Kim. It was a good trip while it lasted. We drove Saturday and had good time hiking around, cooking and just hanging out. Then we turned in for the night and Riley somehow pushed her little nose in between the zippers of out tent door and at 2am and busted out along with Bailey. So Paul and I had to jump out of bed and try and chase them around our campsite without waking up anyone else (there were 70 campsites where we were at and all full!)or for that matter scaring the crap out of someone! We finally lured both them in with some food after about 30 minutes. Then we woke up at about 8am with it just dumping rain. So we just decided to pack it all up and come home. And good thing we did because it is still raining! We were there for all of 17 hours but had a good times. Here are some shots from Paul.


Strike a pose!

Sex and the City movie!

All this time I thought it was just rumors that a "Sex in the City" movie was going to be released. But, sure enough it is on May 30th! I am so excited. It is defiantly one of my favorite shows (as I know it is everyone else's as well). Here is the official website with the full trailer if any of you are interested (Don't pretend like you aren't)! I can't wait.

My Birthday!

I am now the big 25! To celebrate Paul and I and some good friends went out for an amazing dinner in Midtown at a restaurant called Two Urban Licks. I think it is now my favorite place in town. After dinner we went to a comedy club. We had never been to a comedy club before. The one we heard good things about was about 20 minutes outside Atlanta. Least to say it was a change in scenery. It went from uber (Brittany loves when I say uber) urban-chic in Atlanta to white trash 70's Victorian decor in Roswell. And once I saw the dress codes rules, it confirmed that I had left the city. I have to say, Paul and I are very much Atlanta dwellers and don't leave the city limits often. The comedian we saw was Craig Gass. He defiantly got some good laughs out of me. I had never heard of him but turns out I had seen him in Sex and the City as I am sure many of you have. He was the guest-star boyfriend of Miranda while she was on Weight Watchers. He had a particular nickname I don't think I can put on the blog. But for those of you who may remember this episode, it was very funny. Anyways it was a fun night!
