Six Flags Fun

    So this weekend Alicia and I took her younger cousin and her friends to Six Flags. I used to go all the time when I was younger with my grandma and cousins, but it's been a little while since I went last. We totally felt like mom and dad. It's funny how certain rides I can't handle as well as I used to ( the swings) but we still had a blast. 

This is the new ride, Dare Devil Dive

    We packed our lunch, and right when we got to the car it started pouring. Alicia and I killed a bag of Sour Cream and Onion chips, and her cousin couldn't believe it. Comments like "this was full when we got it!" and "how hungry were yall?!" were expressed, but I think they were just being dramatic. Alicia gets anything and everything in her eye, and what was so funny was she a got a sour cream and onion flake in her eye. Poor girl. It was still raining, so we decided to drive to the next exit to McDonalds to get some ice cream. It was a stop well worth it. We saw a "couple" that was highly intoxicated dressed so inappropriately, and she yelling proudly " this is my daddy, not yours." When we walked in, there was a woman wearing a completely see through shirt, with nothing underneath. It was so awkward, and of course Alicia and I were being so immature about it.

This is why I love her: 1) looking at her reflection in a puddle 2) doing the Bernie or what she likes to call the "Birdie" to walk up a hill. 

Spider Man glasses, no big deal. 

We are so cool. 

Of course I had to capture Gods artwork as we were leaving. 

I will leave you with dorky video I took while riding the Mindbender. And please excuse my obnoxious gum chomping-I was nervous. 

Weekend Fun!

    Friday was my bestest friend Alicia's birthday! I was so glad that I got to be in town to celebrate with her, as well as my other best friend from high school Stephanie. We ate at a place called Shout in Midtown. It was pretty good food, fun atmosphere. We rented a hotel really close by, which worked out so perfect. After dinner, we went to place called Flip Flops which was right down the street. It turned about to be a super fun night!

The gang at Flip Flops!

We all love each other so much :) 

Sums us up. 

My Best Friends!

We had to walk barefoot, our feet were killing us. But we made sure to complain to each other the entire walk home.

    It was such a fun night with the girls! The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel which I killed and then we went to Stephanie's sister house, who lives in Virginia Highlands, and we went to the Virginia Highland Festival. 

Erin has the cutest little apartment, I love it!

Erins dog, Javier, may be the biggest dog ever! 

The festival was scorching hot, but these handmade local King Pops cooled us off!

    This morning my dad, brother and I went to a local car show in Alpharetta that they have the first Sunday of every month. There were hundreds of cars, and even though I know nothing about the, it was still so cool to see!

 This is the craziest motorcycle I have ever seen!

This is my friends Travis car. My brother was in all his glory. 

One reason why I love Statesboro:

    Local restaurants. I love them. Especially in the small time I like to call home, Statesboro. On our way back from Charlotte, Moriah and I met up with our friend Jake and ate at " Thee Bar-B-W Place." Of course it was delicious, and we were treated with the up most southern hospitality. 

I feel every restaurant should close "when the meat runs out."

So delicious, and I recommended it to everyone. 

Visit to Charlotte!

     After Brittany's wedding this past weekend, Moriah and I decided we were going to make the 4 hour drive to Charlotte the night and then spend the week at her house. I love visiting the Bellissimo house hold because it is always filled with good food and good fun.

Fueling up on some Dunkin for our late night drive

 We cooked something delicious every night for dinner, but unfortunately I kept forgetting to take pictures until after the food was gone. 

We made these delicious cheeseburgers on the grill with Dales Sauce (thanks Chris) with sweet potato fries and corn on the cob!

Chicken Salad for lunch, yum!

Movie night with Chewy, and Kettle Corn!

So we decided we were going to learn the Dougie one afternoon..

We totally worked up a sweat. And yes, Moriah is doing the "wheel chair."

And the dance party proceeded to the car. 

   One day this week we went to the Yadkin River and went cliff diving jumped off cliffs. What turned to be right down the street was an hour + trip. It's the first time I have ever gone, and I was so scared. I jumped about 5 times, and screamed like a little girl every time. But it was a lot of fun!

Moriah and I went with her best friend Ashley, and her friend Jordan.

We weren't trying to go for the Nike-Sponsor-look but.. 

This cliff may have only been about 25 feet up, but it felt like the edge of the world to me. 

Not the smartest thing I had ever seen, but if they were going to do it, I had to take a picture. 

Such a beautiful sunset to end such a fun day!

Mr. & Mrs. Brannen!

    This Saturday, Moriah and I's dear friends Brittany and Speer got married. They are both from surrounding cities in Statesboro, so I knew it was going to be a cute, country wedding- which I love. They got married in a barn about 20 minutes from school and it was so beautiful! Moriah and I were greeters and loved being apart of their special day!

Congratulations Brittany and Speer Brannen!

Billy is 11, hence the picture be pointed up. 

Brittany looked so beautiful. 

So,so happy. 

It wasn't too hot and the gnats weren't too bad.

As greeters, we think about 350 people came. 

 Brittanys dad is a bee farmer and gave out honey as a gift. So sweet :)

Grooms cake (so fitting) and so good! (chocolate)

First Dance! Brittanys dressed detached so she could be cool at the reception. Love it. 

 Our assistant coach, Crystal, was a bridesmaid in the wedding. Love the cow boy boots!

 Congratulations Brittany! We love you!

May Babies

     For the O'Connor family, May is a busy time with celebrating birthdays. My dad, brother and I all have birthdays within 4 days of each other. So we usually just have one big celebration. Moriah stopped in Atlanta on her way home from Kansas so she celebrated with us at the Cheesecake Factory!

She's basically part of the family now.

The lovely grandparents. 

Ryan took an awkward close up of us, but Allie is just too cute not to share!

Dad is 50! ( and got the boringest cheesecake ever- original)

    I spent my birthday in Statesboro, and loved it. Moriah took me to our local coffee shop, The Daily Grind, where we had breakfast and a bible study. We spent the afternoon at the pool and then got ready and headed to Brittany's wedding. It was a lovely day, I can not believe I am 22!
