April 2012

April was a busy month for me! The first week of April is Masters Week here in Augusta. The Masters is a golf tournament held every year at the National golf course and it brings thousands of people here. Traffic is awful and restaurants are packed but it brings the city a lot of money. All the schools here from elementary through college have spring break this week to encoruage residents to leave town to help balance all the visitors. This is the first year I haven't left town for at least part of the week. It was an interesting experience.

During Masters week, another golf course in town hosts a concert as a fundraiser. There's always a couple of small or local bands and then a "big name band." This year, the 2 bands I went to see were Darius Rucker (previously of Hootie and the Blowfish) and Corey Smith. This is me and Kristen, you can see the big crowd behind us!

And Daniel joined us after work!

Later that week, Daniel and I went to Columbia, SC with 2 other couples to see Red Hot Chili Peppers! This is Sarah, Tina, and me right before we left Augusta:

When we got to Columbia, we walked around downtown and then went to dinner. This is me and Daniel in front of a pretty fountain. I hate that the colors are weird!

And a cute picture at dinner:

Daniel and I also attended our friend Anne Marie's wedding in April. Here is me and the bride:

Anne Marie went to high school with Daniel and I met her in college. Here she is with her groom, Aaron:

Of course Daniel and I had to get a picture together!

The wedding was beautiful and the food was great! We had so much fun! April was a fun month with lots of events! I'm glad I'm not looking as pale as I was in the last few posts. May is up next and that means meeting baby Presley Rose in person!
