We arrived late Wednesday night. My mom arrived from DFW slightly earlier than we did, so my brother picked her up and took her to my best friend's house to stay. My dad picked K and I up then we headed up to their house and got settled in. We had to get up earlier than we would have liked for my brother's graduation from Kennesaw State University on Thursday morning. My brother and I took very different paths in life. I was the true first-born in every way with clear goals and plans, while he enjoyed life and lived in the moment. We were all so proud of him yesterday.
I was tired, grumpy, and stressed much of the day though. Family dysfunction and lack of control got to me. I got a long nap in the afternoon and the day brightened with a celebratory dinner with family and friends at Strip in Atlantic Station. K and I ate there when we were here back in July. My best friend knows the head chef at the restaurant, so we definitely got VIP treatment last night. The food was excellent! Yummy sushi and so much more, too!
I swear that I have gained 10 pounds from dinner last night and lunch this afternoon. I wanted to have a birthday lunch for K before my mom left this afternoon, so we had another delicious meal and dessert at Stephanie's house before taking my mom to the airport. Steak, lobster, and homemade cake...just a few of K's favorite things!
So, now we're just relaxing at the hotel for a bit before the hockey game tonight - Atlanta Thrashers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs. I think today marks the beginning of K's birthday celebration that will span through next Tuesday! I've spoiled him too much.
