Update?


Not so much. I haven't heard from the agency yet to find out if our application was even approved. I'm trying not to worry about it, but I can't help it.

I just keep thinking...what if we're not approved? What do we do now? We don't have a Plan B. This is Plan B. At least for now this is Plan B.

Now that I think about it...technically if we are talking about a 'Plan' and assigning letters to them this is "S" or "T". Or I could call it Plan A to the 6th power.

Stop. Breathe. Okay.

I know logically there isn't a reason why we wouldn't be approved, but my brain works on a scale from pessimist to optimist. Is it the same as "hope for the best, expect the worst"?

Anyway, I went to Atlanta, GA last week and oh my was it hot and humid. I washed my hair and it took all day for it to dry.  Michael and I walked through Centennial Park one hot Wednesday afternoon. It was really beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures, but sadly I did not. They had a number of sculptures and dedications to past and present athletes. It was really touching the tribute they made to the athletes. But all I kept thinking about was how hot and humid it was...and it was only the beginning of June! I don't think I would have liked being an Olympic Athlete running a Marathon in Atlanta, GA in August. I would have perished.

While I was there I also went to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. Apparently the Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium on the East Coast. Here are some pictures.

The ginormous thing in the tank is a Whale Shark.

 Just to give a perspective on how huge the tank is.

The World of Coca-Cola was a lot of fun. Especially at the end of the tour, you can go into the "Taste of Coke" room and try all the fizzy drinks Coca-Cola distributes all over the world. My favorite one was a drink called 'Candy' and the flavor was called 'Pine Nut'. It tasted like a Pina Colada and as my friends in England would say, "It was lush."

Well that is it, have a great weekend, everyone. I will let you all know once we hear from the agency.
