A Nice Weekend

Sunday evening I returned from my weekend trip to Nashville. Well, technically Columbia, TN. I actually almost missed my connecting flight in Charlotte because my flight from Wilmington didn't arrive until 5:30pm and my flight to Nashville left at 5:45. I definitely can say that I got my exercise running. I was the last person to bored. It would have been my luck if I missed it since that was my first time to fly by myself.

We had a good time. We didn't do much. Just stayed at the house and played with Irie. She's too cute. She just smiled and just talking away. Well, not actually talking, but baby talk. So sweet. It was great seeing Summer and Chad. I haven't seen Chad since the wedding and haven't seen Summer since her baby shower this past March. That has been the longest I've gone not seeing either one of them. I told Summer I'll have to come back when Sex and the City comes out in theaters next year. I know Brian won't want to watch it with me. Plus, it wouldn't be as fun.

I was happy to come home Sunday. I missed my two guys. Brody was certainly happy to see me. I probably thought I had abandoned him. Of course, I would never do that.

Going to Nashville...woo-hoo...

Tomorrow is almost here and cannot wait. I finally get to see Miss Irie Layne Zelinski, Summer and Chad's little girl. Grant it yes, I'm looking forward to seeing them as well, but just looking forward to seeing that sweet baby girl. It will be GREAT seeing Summer since I haven't seen her since March. I do believe this has been the longest we've gone without hanging out. When I was living in Starkville, I would go about once a month. Any who, I think we will have a good time.

Summer will be picking me up from the airport tomorrow evening and we're going out to dinner (just us girls). That will be wonderful for the both of us....we'll be able to really catch up. Although, we talk on the phone just about everyday, but nothing beats face-to-face conversations. I'm just hoping the flight goes well. This will be my first time flying by myself...I'm a little nervous I have to admit. I'm not worried about having to wait for my connecting flight in Charlotte, but its the flying part. Grant it, I like to fly, but it's the whole taking off and landing that I don't enjoy...oh yeah, and the crashing... I won't have Brian there to take my mind off of it. I am carrying our portable DVD player so I can watch a movie while in flight. Unfortunately, I can't watch it as soon as I get on the plane since your not allowed to have electronic devices turned on while taking off. Fabulous. I'm sure everything will go fine. That's just not my ideal way of dying. Alright, let me get off this subject or I won't be going at all.

I will be sure to take lots of pictures and have them posted next week. That is, if I'm still alive...

Crazy Thursday night...

I just LOVE living in this town! Let me set the picture. My regional manager, Mary Stewart, worked with me Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week and we had a good time. The whole time we rode together, all she talked about was how cool it would be if we saw one of the characters from One Tree Hill. They are currently filming for the fall season. I've watched the show a couple of times, but I was familiar with Chad Michael Murray because he played in Freaky Friday and A Cinderella Story. Sure, of course it would be cool to see one of the characters. Its not often that you have that opportunity. Anyway, we went to dinner Wednesday night towards Wrightsville Beach and had a relaxing night. We split appetizers and had a couple of drinks. We were pretty tired, so we called it a night.

Thursday we made our two tales in Beulaville and called it a day. Mary Stewart wanted to go downtown for dinner. So, Brian and I met her around 6:30pm at Elijahs and had dinner and drinks. The food was wonderful and the drinks were even better. The restaurant closed at 10:00pm and we weren't ready to call it a night. We asked the bartender where a good place to go and he said The Reel Cafe. So we walked there and sat outside and ordered drinks. They had a band playing and the weather felt so good. After being there for about 30 minutes, I had to go to the bathroom. So, I went up stairs and did my business and when I walked out, I saw this guy with a Reggie Bush jersey on leaning against the wall talking to someone. When I walked out, I looked his way and we locked eyes and low-in-behold it was Chad Michael Murray. My face went blank and I was going to ask if that was him, but all I could say was hey. He said "how's it going" and I walked downstairs....actually rushed down the stairs to tell Mary Stewart. She liked to have DIED! She walked to the bathroom and when she was walking up, he was coming down. She was flipping out. I wouldn't have acted crazy if she hadn't been talking about it the whole entire time. When she came back outside, she wanted me to go inside to the bar with her. I really didn't want to because of the dumb ass look I had on my face. To be nice, I did. We go inside and sat at the bar and ordered a drink. I told her to go ask for a picture, but she didn't want to. She pulled out her phone and took a picture while they were getting up to leave. They walked out and this guy comes over and asked if she got a pic. She said yes and he said that we should have asked and would have taken one with us. He said he worked on the production of Once Tree Hill and said they go out all the time. So, next time I see them out to ask for a pic. Anyway, it was pretty exciting and he's so cute. Brian thought we were crazy. Like I said, I wouldn't have acted nutty if Mary Stewart hadn't talked about it so much. It was definitely an awesome night.
