Fun filled weekend!


This past weekend was packed full. On friday night I went to Friday's After Five with Kristen and some of her friends at musictoday. We ended up getting some free drinks and eating the best pizza ever made...Christian's Pizza....heavenly. The next morning Mariah called to let me know that she lost a tooth....(see picture). Later that afternoon I went with Kristen to see Batman: The Dark Knight.....it totally exceeded my expectations. I did not see the first movie so I was expecting the series to be similar to the Batman movies of the 90's with Michael Keaton......I was SOOOO wrong! I loved the movie and it was so dark and intense. Heath Ledger's performance of the Joker was absolutely amazing! I watched the first movie on DVD on Sunday morning. while recovering from a popcorn overdose. :-)

On Saturday night Kristen and I went down to the Obama headquarters for the Grand Opening at the new campaign office on the downtown mall. David Toscano (Charlottesville's delegate and my lawyer) opened with some inspiring remarks and he was so amazed with the turnout. When he finished he mingled through the crowd and he came by and gave me a big hug. I am amazed that he always remembers who I am especially since it has been about 5 years since the big D (divorce). I actually became involved in politics when David was running for Charlottesville's delegate. I worked the farmers market on Saturday's with Mariah and felt pretty fired up.....that just keeps on growing. The party was fun and we were able to eat some amazing food and mingle with some really nice people. Since the turnout was so high we almost passed out from a heat stroke but we were able to make it through the speeches. Above is a picture of Mariah's missing tooth. ENJOY!
