Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2014_09_06 Saturday

We went to a really cool parade tonight. It was a lantern parade along the Beltline, which is a refurbished rail line. The neatest part for me is that it reminded me so much of St Martin's Nacht. In fact, we took along the lantern Jonathan and I made in his 1st grade class that I shared St Martin's Tag with! so cool. It was all local citizens who had made their own lanterns. Some were clearly the balls from Ikea, but others were 6+ feet tall, very intricate, and required multiple people to operate (e.g. an astronaut). I'm not sure where or how the parade ended, but I sort of doubt it's a bonfire where they throw in their lanterns!

And, then, I actually bumped into a girl I went to OTHS with (I think she was a year behind me). Whaaaat in the world!? she and I played on the tennis team. We chatted for a few seconds. how bizzare!?
