Memorial Day Weekend

After this last weekend Memorial Day has moved way up on my list of favorite holidays. It has a lot to do with the fact that Patrick was given a four-day weekend, and I really like being able to spend time with that boy. Go figure :)

So what did we do with our extra time together?

On Friday we went up to Atlanta and visited the World of Coca-Cola.  While we were there we saw a small exhibit demonstrating how Coke is bottled, we saw the vault where the secret recipe is kept, we tasted dozens of different drinks which Coca-Cola makes around the world, and we saw LOTS of Coke paraphernalia.

On Saturday we adopted two adorable puppies!! These two little ones have really taken over my life. I can't say that I love cleaning up after them, but I do love the snuggles and puppy breath. We haven't finalized their names yet, but we're considering Scout and Lady Liberty (Libby). I like the idea of somewhat patriotic names to remember our Memorial Day weekend.

Scout and Libby- our little hellions :)

On Monday we went to a barbecue and pool party hosted by some friends from church. The decorations and food were very festive. I'm sure it was a lot of extra work, but it made for a really fun atmosphere. I was feeling a little shy, but I did meet a few new people. Next time I'll have to remember to take some pictures.

Basically it was a fantastic weekend because we were able to spend it together. I'm loving this life.
