Adventures of an OT: ATL!!

The day after finals in December, I boarded a plane destined for Atlanta, Georgia to visit Ryan and his family. It was a great motivation to get through finals and then to celebrate completing my first semester of grad school (which I finished with all As and Bs).

Saturday night we went to a concert at their church. The Atlanta Sacred Chorale was performing. Ryan was the sound man and I helped collect tickets and distribute programs with his mom. The concert was incredible. Through the busyness of finishing the semester, I had not been still to prepare my heart for the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas. The concert definitely quieted my heart and began the Christmas season for me.

Sunday after church, I took a nap and then laid in bed and watched snow fall. Have you ever been still to watch snow fall? Each flake is completely different from the one next to it. What a Creator! Not only did He create each and everyone of us different, but takes time to create individual snow flakes. Makes me wonder what small details He has created in me that I have passed over. He is most definitely God of detail - EVERYTHING has His finger print on it. The snow wasn't always flakes but small like specs of glitter - oh so wonderful!.

Ryan and I went shopping. We like walking around stores, pointing out what we like or what we think is odd. We did a little Christmas shopping too.

We were also celebrating our 1st anniversary two months late. We ate at Sweet Tomatoes, where we ate on the day he asked me out! He's definitely a keeper because he let me lead him to a restaurant that is primarily a salad buffet, it does also have baked potatoes, pasta, and soups. If you know Ryan, you know he is more a meat guy! The best part is he liked it...well not the salad but everything else!

One night, we saw Tangled. We were 2 of 4 in the theatre, kinda like our own private showing. :) Very cute flick.

I also helped Ryan's family move from one house to another. It was great to be of service to them and be apart of a life event in their family. I was the first guest in the new house and shared in the first official meal too!
