Whoa. It’s slowly been getting warmer and warmer here in Atlanta. We’re moving to our new apartment in Inman Park in about a month and we just can’t wait! The place is great but the location is even more fun. Especially after growing up deep in the suburbs of west Phoenix - we’re talking 91st ave when it was the edge of town and to the west was corn fields as far as you could see.

I really like living here in Atlanta. Like a lot. So much that I’ll use like in three sentences in a row.

It’s been even more fun since I/we actually started being more social and hanging out the yelp crowd - just like I like it - many acquaintances with no commitment so none of that being obligated to friends (that’s just me - Leah’s on the waaaaay other side of the spectrum.) So it’s awesome. Plus - they like food. Plus - they LOVE bacon.

Even though I was never really all that great at it - I kind of miss cosplaying. (Note: my cosplaying pretty much consisted of choosing a character that doesn’t wear a shirt and was some variation of a warrior/fighter/monster/samurai - so it was always relatively easy - not like our famous-top-secret-ex-cosplay-still-current-friends who totally rocked more than your face!) I am really considering going to THIS and actually cosplaying - I’ll probably just start out easy and do an updated variation of my generic samurai - really, this mostly just entails me getting back into shape. But come on - almost four months of time? It’s a lock. Especially if I continue with the CrossFit workouts + diet.

And now that I just spoke of working out: Cupcakes!

Leah got me these for my birthday back in March. Yes. They were as great as they look - only slightly better - as you can see we couldn’t even wait to take a picture before tearing into them.

Oh. That watermelon up top? We’ve kept it in the refrigerator and it’s seriously just F’in awesome on a hot day. Slice by slice I just cut into when I get back from the gym and it’s better than anything. Well, not better than ice cream but obviously that would defeat everything.

Almost Friday.

I saw these the other day on my commute to work - I’m a sucker for advertising that I like. Yes, it’s like taking a photo of a photo.

But Look! She has a PBR Grill!

Our Friends Anna & Chris called us up last night so we could help them with a midnight move - they’ve had trouble with their landlord for a while and it all added up to yesterday - now I’m not exactly sure what happened, but the landlord tried to kick in their door, break security bars, and they filed a police report - needless to say they moved out that night. Leah and I didn’t arrive in time to load everything up, but we helped with the unloading. Oh man. Housing.

It’s Thursday! Leah’s friend Brandy from Phoenix is arriving on Friday for a conference here in town - that’s SO awesome. ‘Cause I know she misses me a whole lot!

What’s this? Thursday? It’s almost the weekend! Good things MUST be on the horizon. Let’s take ‘em!
