THE VISITORS

The time that we have all been waiting for. They are here!

Thursday afternoon (June 4) Brandon, Sabina, & Ashley flew in to visit. They were picked up by Albert and spent the night with the Cano's. Albert took them to lunch the next day at a favorite, 5 Guys Burgers & Fries. They had mentioned that as we tried to plan the visit they wanted to just spend time hanging out and relaxing. So get ready to experience a relaxed week and pictures from it.

Let the good times roll. Friday came and it was time to spend the rest of their time with us. after picking them up after lunch with Albert we went home and hung out before going to the laster show at Stone Mountain.



Saturday we woke up and had a great mountain man breakfast before packing up and heading downtown. We started at the Underground ATL and walked a few blocks to the Coke Factory. That's all we can say is welcome to the ATL. We must have looked a little confused as to which way we needed to walk to get to the Coke Factory so a guy by the name of Mike decided he would be our tour guide and show us a short cut to the factory. What a culture shock. They experienced the finest of the ATL from people sleeping on the streets, the smell of urine in the streets, people talking to themselves saying that all people on earth are sinners and are going to hell and even shocked to see individuals that live alternative lifestyles. When we got home Sabina had a migraine headache so Jess, the girls and myself went over to Ryan Loo's house for dinner with Justin Bunker and his family. Thanks for visiting Bunkers it was great to see you and remember the good old days of high school. We came home and watched, Paul Blart, The Mall Cop. "Peanut Blart and Jelly. Wat Wat Watz up man!"



Sunday - The day of rest of course. We went to church, had a Cersey Dinner (Roast and Potatoes) and then met the Cano's at mom and dad Cersey's for some Wii time. Who rocks at the Karaoke and Rock Band. That's right, WE DO. Thanks for coming down Cano's.



Monday - The first of many days at the pool. Tonight we went to the Atlanta Braves game. This was a first for B, Sabina, and Ash. The Braves were playing the Pittsburg Pirates. The game started with the Braves going up 5 to zero making us all think that this was going to be a blow out. Boy were we wrong. The Pirates came back and tied it in the 7th inning making it 7-7. It remained this score for through the bottom of the 15th inning (We left after the 13th cause Andy had to go to work the next day). We listened to the rest of the game on the way home and as we were about 10 minutes from the house, Jeff Francoer came across home plate at 11:54 PM and ended the game with the Braves winning 8-7.





Tuesday - Everyone went shopping today at Ross, Marshalls, TJ Max. After dinner and I got home from work we watched the best movie in the world, Forever Strong. What an amazing story and movie. There wasn't a dry eye through this film. Thanks Mom & Dad Dollar for sending this for us. We loved it.

Wednesday - Another day at the pool for 3 hours. Our neighbor Dusty was there and so everyone got to know him a little bit. He and his wife are new to the neighborhood so it was good for all to meet them. Brandon, Sabina, and Jess then went around town looking at some of the homes that were for sale. They had a good time and we found out that our home has lost a lot of its value through these wonderful economic times. Jess then made probably the best Fettucini she has ever made. Ask Brandon and he will let you know how good it was. We got a call from Mom & Dad Cersey asking if we wanted to get some ice cream. They treated us all to Brusters (Thanks to a wedding that we just did we had a gift card that helped offset the cost). YUMMY! We then came home and watched a favorite, So You Think You Can Dance. Lights Out.

Thursday - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! We made the 10 Year mark. I had to work today but was able to meet up with everyone in the afternoon for a little bit of shopping in Commerce, at the Tanger Outlets. I was working up in that area so it worked out perfectly. We made the trip home and then went to Chilis for our Anniversary Dinner. While we were at dinner Ash got a call from Aleia her friend that is on Heritage Tours saying that she saw the Jonas Brothers (Not a lie this time). Ash was jealous. When we got home we put the girls down and watched, So You Think You Can Dance Results Show.

Friday - Last time at the pool. Jess had to run to the doctor today and got pulled over while on her way. She was able to give the cop some brownies and milk (ha ha) and was just given a warning instead of a ticket. Yes she was going 20 mph over the speed limit and still got off. WOOT! The final night was one we will not forget anytime soon. We experienced a Southern Family Reunion. The ward that my wife grew up in had a party to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the forming of the Lawrenceville II Ward. It was filled with good old Southern BBQ, entertainment and a 20 minute slide show that reflected the 20 years of the ward. On the way home some were craving the taste of Brusters again so we made a quick stop for them to get some ice cream one last time before leaving town.




Saturday - Today everyone woke up and packed the bags. We had breakfast and just spent the rest of the morning relaxing before a long day in route home to Utah. We dropped them off at the airport and sent them on their way.

We had a a great time and built memories that will last forever. Despite Andy having to work everyday a good time was had by all. And now for a few needed Thank You's. Thanks to Jess for entertaining everyone and cooking all week. You are the best! Thanks Ashley for wanting to visit us for your Senior gift. Thanks dad Dollar for helping this happen. Thanks B and Sabina for helping to "keep the hills alive." What a sweet experience this was to spend time together. Even all the late nights and early mornings were worth it. We love you all and can't wait to see you again sometime.
