Day 6

Day 6 came right after Day 5...

Today I woke up around 10:30 and got up and started to get ready for my workout. I spent the first 3o minutes of my day praying and reading scripture. Lastnight, some guys and I got together to catch up and pray for one another! I was wanting to go to the throne for my friends.

I got to thinking about Sarah and was being a little self-fish and texted her and said, "COME TO GEORGIA" I sent her the message and never heard back from her! See her plane was leaving NC around 10 or so, so I figured she was on the plane headed back to Texas. I got out of bed an began putting on workout clothes, when my phone finally made noise, (I got a new message) I noticed it was a picture message and it was from Sarah, the title was "I'M IN GEORGIA" it was a picture of a welcome to Georgia sign. I texted her back and was like, why are you teasing me? I than received another picture message from her, titled "See..well sorta..my head is...." this picture indeed had her head in it, along with the sign... I than was like, what is going on? She quick called me and said, "I am 90 miles north of Atl" I was totally shocked, and I could not think or say anything straight. She told me to get cleaned up and head up towards ATL, and think about where we wanted to eat for lunch. I was like ok! So, I got cleaned up, and began driving up to Atlanta.

We decided to meet at my brother house, that way it would be a local spot she would be able to use her GPS too. I pulled up and sure enough I saw a car with an Illionois liscence plate (does anyone know why most rental cars have Illionis plates?) Sure enough, my beautiful girlfriend was sitting behind the wheel. I jumped out of my truck and hurried over to her. When our eyes meet, we both just had big smiles on our faces! I was just so stinking excited I wanted to jump up and down like it was Christmas morning, and I just got a nerf football! (that was a great Christmas gift when I was a kid)

I introduced Sarah to my brother, he was home, doing some work and than I wanted to take her to my favorite pizza place in Atlanta, Fillini's. Fillini's is a great place to eat pizza and it just famous too! We actually had their special, so it had everything on it! I actually have two slices left, maybe to eat for dinner tonight. Anywho, back to the story....

After lunch, Sarah and I drove around Atlanta, and I showed her where I grew up as a child. I took her to see my house in Dunwoody, and even the High School! By this time, our sweet tooth's were both active, so a stop at Brusters for some double chocolate chunk did the trick.

Our next stop was back at my brothers house, we waited for him to finish up on some work, and we all went out to dinner. I wanted to go somewhere that you cant find in every town. See Sarah travels and my brother travel alot for their jobs, and I guess when you travel, there is this unspoken rule (or maybe its spoken) to not eat at any chains. I guess I understood it, I don't travel, but it makes sense. I suggested seafood, (Sushi) and Brent suggested we go to Goldfish. It is located over at the Perimeter Mall (where I used to hang out as a kid) Sarah ordered some amazing red snapper, Brent had Sushi, and so did I. It was very good. We were crunched for time, cause Sarah was leaving Atlanta around 10:15 to travel back to Texas.

Before Sarah had to leave for the airport, we spent about 45 minutes talking and praying for one another. One of the most amazing things I like about Sarah is her prayer life. The girl can flat out pray! I am very thankful that she prays for many things, including us. It was great, to be standing in the parking lot holding one another and praying to our Father in Heaven! It was Fantastic. We said our goodbyes, and she drove to the airport, and I drove back to Carrollton.

Sarah, You continue to amaze me everyday! I have never been surprised in my life! Yesterday, was the best surprise anyone has ever given me. The pure fact that you put me before yourself, completely humbles me! Thank you for driving 5 hours to spend the day with me. I hope that your time in Atlanta this time was the best one yet! Today is Saturday, so just think... You will be back in Atlanta in less than a week... THANK YOU
