Creepy Crawlies

Ok. So I don't know what it where they came from, but here is what happened:
I woke up this morning and got in the shower. I was scrubbing my bod and you will Never guess what I found. Lice!!! yes, a fully mature head lice was on my neck!
Did i freak out? OF COURSE I DID!!! I checked my sheets and found another little creepie. So of course I called the front desk, they came and got said creepie and told us we would have a new room on return from work.
We came back and were to move right next door, and THEN what happens? We get to the new room and it appears as though someone has been in the bed and left a used towel on the other bed..
So I now sit in a JR suite.. Just not what sure else I should ask for?
Thoughts?

Its a Monday..

Just wanted to drop all a line on this sunny Monday and say hello.
I spent the weekend in Atlanta just to relax and regroup. After getting in so late the past few weeks it was, I felt the right decision so as not to have a case of the Mondays when I get to work this morning.
This coming weekend is Labor Day Weekend and I am trying to decide with Andrew and Ali as to what we shall do. Off to the Plantation? or should we join their friends at a beach house near Charleston?
I of course am down for anything.
Loving you all!

Good Morning Family

Just wanted to drop a quick line and say hello to everyone.
My weeks are starting to get busier and busier. Yesterday I had 4 meetings and after the first, I got lost in one of the buildings. Was late to the second but was not the only one late. I got my blackberry this week and as I left the third meeting I was looking at my calendar and thought I had only 10 minutes to make it to my 3rd meeting. Turns out that meeting is Friday and I was looking at the wrong date. I had time to recoup and eat lunch at my desk.
I feel like I am starting to get the hang of things but still have a lot to learn and a long way to go. My big project is really coming around and we might totally make our deadline. Of course as that starts to plateau another project looms on the horizon.
Oh what joy!
It was a HOT one here yesterday. I dont know the temps but I sure felt it! Tuesday was another Braves game and this time we got into the 755 club, not the box seats but very fun and I get to go again on the 27th..
Ok.. shower calls and I need to get ready for work.
Love you all!

Quite a sight

Hey family! Just wanted to say hello to everyone. This was some beautiful scenery as we climbed out of Georgia. I even stayed awake. ( thanks to the bumps)
Anywho, I'm on my way home for the weekend but here is the good news.
Josh accepted the banks offer on the town home! They countered and he is still getting it for a song. What we wait for now is a signed contract ( Monday) and then that information is sent to his bank, they get an assessment on the property and we can get keys. We are looking at two weeks. Thank goodness!
Sending you all my love!

A trip to the S.C.

So I took the weekend to get out of town, literally and headed over to see the Flegalheimers in South Carolina. Ali and I had movie night with Andrew joining us mid-flick for popcorn and the movie.
Saturday we went to the Lake Beach as Ms Eliza likes to call it. Im sure Henry says it and its understandable but its more like Yake Beech YEAH!
Andrew and I immediately got sucked into a service project but I was cool with it as we were using their property for our days activity. We moved 2 couches(yes one was a sofa sleeper and not so light) but the other was just fine. I was happy to help them as they are super nice people!

We built sandcastles and jumped off the dock to cool off in the hot hot sun. They even built a fire and we roasted hotdogs for lunch. Dad and Grandpa Flegal would have be SUPER jealous of Mr Scotts 'match'
We intended to stay at the beach just untill noon but ended up staying till around 230-300pm. It was just a fun day!
that night I mentioned to AJ and Ali that Liz and Mark and myself had a night of Settlers of Catan. As it turns out this is a German game and of course Andrew has it, in German! We had to call Mark for a refresher on the rules but we played 2 games. Yes Ali won them both! I need to get my own game and start challanging people here.
Anywho.. We did get one more game in sunday before I left. Andrew dethroned Princess Ali and I was off on my road trip home. The 3 hour drive really is nice and super easy to get over there.
Whats next? Labor day at the Plantation according to AJ.

First night of Fun!


Dearest Family
As you may have read on my facebook last night, I went to the Braves game with my 2 roomies after work. Rob got the tickets from work and so off we went for a night of the great American pastime. As we arrived at the I saw people selling boiled peanuts.. I didnt buy any then but went on to the game.
This picture is from the game.. as you can see the humidity in the lights is insane!
On the way home I got a dollar bag of BP's and ate them in the car..
OH HEAVEN!!!
I'm off to work and LOVE You all!!

Hey Y'all!

Dearest Family,
I arrived today in the Great State of Georgia with out too much of a hitch. The flight out of SLC was delayed by almost an hour due to late arriving of the inbound aircraft. I watched a super fun show, The Joneses, and the flight was agreeable.
I mule packed all my belongings down to Robs and we had a nice dinner of Pasta and Key Lime Pie!! YUM
Dinner and a movie as it was raining cats and dogs..
Going to bed early as I have my first day of work tomorrow but I will try to keep this updated as MUCH as possible.
Love you all
Mike
