what a weekend. yesterday, we had our kiwanis club’s annual kiddie day parade in downtown cartersville. then we headed up to tennessee to my parents’ house for lunch with my brother’s soon-to-be in-laws. after lunch, some of the kids went boating on the lake in the backyard, and i got a chance to talk with my parents and grandmother, which was nice.

we left there around 5:30 p.m. and, after arriving in cartersville, headed straight to the movie theater to see pirates of the carribbean 2. i liked the first one better. this one had some scenes that really made no sense, and the ending was stretched out.

today, we’re off to kennesaw to get our marriage certificate (it finally came!) and ketubah framed. yay! we also need to buy joe’s dad a birthday present. then we’re going to crate and barrel to return some presents (they just *had* to discontinue the pretty dishes i registered for), and then it’s off to joe’s parents for a cookout to celebrate his dad’s birthday. fun times.
