Besame Para Siempre :)

Right now seems like an opportune time to blog. Considering I have an hour till my next class and my fingers are frozen :)

Any who, this past week/ weekend was probably the best ones I've had in a long time. At work I got the opportunity to prove to my boss that I am leadership material and had some quality one on one time with him, explaining my career goals and what I want out of Chick-fil-A. I feel like I made some much needed progress. A few days later I was approached by him to attend our new marketing team meeting today. I'm not sure what time it's at but luckily I have to be there at 3:00 to work anyway. Excited does not even begin to cover how thrilled I am about this. I immediately set to work on coming up with creative marketing ideas and ploys to help bring in more revenue for our store and of course, make our store a community hot spot. A mere hour later one of my dear assistant managers came up to me and asked me if I was interested in a supervisor or management position. I informed him that after going on three years of working with this company NOTHING would thrill me more than to be considered. He let me know that he was going to speak with our boss and recommend me for a position :) HOORAY!

After kicking ass at work I got to hang out with Christopher. We packed our bags and headed up to Atlanta on Saturday for a weekend full of doing fun touristy things. I'll put some pictures up later. We started at the first Chick-fil-A restaurant ever created. For those of you who are behind on your history, it was originally called the Dwarf Grill founded by Truett Cathy. The next one to open would be the Chick-fil-A located in Greenbriar Mall. Anyway it was really cool because it was identical to Truett's Grill menus :) So I got my delicious Hot Brown and crushed ice. YAY!

We continued our journey up to the High Museum of Art and saw a bunch of really cool sculptures, paintings, and even furniture. I have to admit though, I was a bit disappointed because the DaVinci exhibit was there but it was all of his sketches from his inventions. AND EVERYONE WAS THERE. Ridiculous.

After leaving the High (and nearly dying from slipping on ice), we headed over to The World of Coca-Cola which is the place that manufactures the product responsible for my addiction. It was super cool! I had been to the old one before they moved it to Pemberton Place but this one was equally cool. Chris and I tried 64 different Coke products from all over the world. Some were good, some were disgusting. Specifically the Beverly from Italy. Why anyone would purchase such a beverage is beyond me! We got free souvenir Coke bottles and then headed out to go the place that I have been aching to go to since it open.

In case you didn't know, the Georgia Aquarium is home to the largest aquarium in the world which holds 6.3 million gallons of water. They don't use glass to hold back the fishies; Acryllic is 17 times stronger than glass and the stuff they use is 2 feet thick. They have four Whale Sharks which are like 20 something feet long, but guess what? THEY ARE ONLY BABIES! They are going to double in size! Wicked crazy. It was super fun. We saw Nemo and Dory and some cute sea otters. I pet some Sting Rays. Chris wanted me to pet the sharks but I REFUSED. I had a blast and got TONS of pictures.

Then we checked in to the gorgeous Hyatt Place hotel and got all dressed up to go to the Old Spagetti Factory. Delicious. We went and got ice cream at the amazing Zesto's which has the best soft serve ice cream I've ever tasted. Headed back to the hotel, watched SVU and went to sleep. We woke up the next day to find that the Zoo was closed because of the weather. LAME. We went on the CNN Studio Tour which was pretty cool. . . when I was in middle school. LOL It was ok. Then we went to the Varsity and ate. Afterwards we headed over to the Fernback and looked at some pretty wicked dinosaurs and played with little kid science experiment things. It's kind of geared for a smaller audience. We left, walked around Atlantic Station for literally five minutes and then headed back to Columbus because it was too cold.

Needless to say I had an amazing weekend and I love Chris for giving me such an amazing Christmas Present. I had a BLAST. But now school is back in session. I was late for my 9:00 AM because Giselle is in the shop and I had to take the shuttle, which I of course missed. Luckily I was only 5 minutes late. And now I'm off to my 11 Am which is Spanish. Then back downtown for Creative Dramatics at 1:00. Then to work! YAY! Will post more tomorrow with pictures!
