hey y'all!

last weekend my dear friend monchichi came in for a visit. y'all i hadn't seen her in so long, and yet we picked up right where we left off. i love that about good friends - no matter how long it's been since you have seen each other or chatted with each other, you can still ease back into the friendship in a flash. monchichi flew in from chicago on friday night and got into atlanta at about 1030. we were so excited to see her at the airport! we got to our place and had snacks and wine, and stayed up chatting and catching up until 230am. if you know me, that's the latest i have been up for a while!! saturday, we went to piedmont park to walk around, and have monchichi take some pictures of hb& me. then, we decided to walk around the virgina highland area of atlanta. it was so fun to walk around the shops to do a little shopping! monchichi and i found some cute things for her house, as well as a necklace for me. i liked the necklace, and i'm considering wearing it with my dress for our mexico party! we also randomly walked into the best gelato place called paolo's. the owner is italian from venice, and such a character, he even got me to practice my very limited italian with him! if you are ever there, i recommend the pineapple, chocoloate, and chocolate chip gelatos. later that night we went to a bbq, had some great burgers (if you have a wal-mart near you, they make some good jalapeño burgers from the sams value brand), played a little guitar hero, and then fell to bed at around midnight! sunday was a quick brunch at the flying biscuit. i would highly recommend their biscuits! monchichi loved the grits there as well. hope y'all had great weekends as well - i promise to update y'all soon on the happenings of this past weekend soon!
