Just excuse my stringy hair


Below is the childhood home of Martin Luther King Jr. We went to the King center, and looked at all the showcases about him, and then to the street which has been kept the same way as when he lived on it.


A quick snapshot of the MARTA station. I was embarassed to take a picture of it, so it's a little crooked, because it was hurriedly taken. This stop is an underground one, so you can see the walls are carved out rock.



In this picture look behind us, and you can kind of see how long an escalator it was. I actually made Jason ride back down and up with me again, because it was sooo long, it was crazy! So sweet of him to go along with my silly tangents!




This is in Centennial Olympic Park. We took the MARTA downtown and walked around, and went to the CNN center. We did rent a car, but parking did not exist downtown, so that was the one day we rode the MARTA. Jason really knows me better than I thought, because he knew I really wanted to ride it just for fun sometime, which i denied, of course.



We didn't take all that many pictures, but we had a lot of fun! It was so nice to see Jason, after that long! It went way too fast, though. It was very tempting to just stay the rest of the 2 weeks Jason will be there!! Jason kept reminding me to volunteer my seat on the plane if it was oversold, so I could go on a later day or at least a later flight. (and a free flight as well isnt a bad perk!) But dang it, it didnt happen. So I am back now, and Jason will be home March 4th! I'm hoping it goes super fast for both of us!!!

Woo Hoo!

Just counting down to when I get to visit Jason! Only six more days!!! I am very very excited! It will be nice for Jason to get to take time off, too. He's a trooper, but he still is getting a little burnt out. (Who wouldn't, in his shoes?) What with working 13 1/2 hours on the night shift, sleeping during the day and going right back to work and just sitting in the ambulance, waiting for a call wherever in town they get posted. Not much fun. On the bright side, (for him at least) he has had some pretty interesting calls; a few Stabbings and Shootings over drugs or money. He actually got to watch in the ER while the Dr. tried to revive an 18 year old girl who had been stabbed. I will spare you the details, but he said it was really interesting. Sad, but nothing they could do, not that they didnt try. Well, look for pictures after I get back from Alanta! We hope to go to the Georgia Aquarium while there, so that should be pretty fun. I've been researching online, so we should be able to find plenty of things to do! Now we just have to find a hotel that fits all our needs, and let me tell you, it has been difficult. I think I found one that will work great, but now Jason wants an indoor pool, which this one doesnt have... well, you can't win 'em all, but wish me luck in my search!
