SO I posted a long blog that didn't publish. Essentially- met Kelly's parents. Went to a great musical. Went out for coffee and deserts. Went to an event for exchange students and spoke Russian.
Last night we went on a double date. We all dressed up as fancy as we could. Kelly and I went with Ben and Rachel to the very nice Thai Restaurant. The food was excellent. Afterwards we went to Tallulah Gorge - the deepest chasm west of the Mississippi. Then we went to a river picnic spot where I taught Kelly how to Waltz and Ben and Rachal showed us how to swing dance. Then Ben hopped the fence of a power plant which had continuos video surveliance. Ben's first felony. Well, maybe it was a felony to drive on the sidewalk all the way to the girls' dorm. He wanted to do somethign special. If any adult had seen he would have recieved at least 5 hours of work detail!
We then went to a cemetery(hey, it's Toccoa!) and watched the stars. It was a very nice evening all and all. It kills me everytime Ben picks up Rachel. Ben and Rachel aren't actually dating. Rachel is a very petite person, and for Ben to pick her up is like lifting a bag of kitty litter. Everytime he picked her up Kelly gave me a great look of , "Please don't try that - you'll kill us both." We all got pictures behind the fence at the gorge. (Also a felony now that I think about it. Also, there is dispute about whether being in a graveyard after dark is a felony.) Oh well, rules are made for breaking.

We actuall did all of this in prom attire. It is great to be dating a girl who thinks it is a great idea to go to a cemetery in a prom dress after dark. So random, but I know almost all of the TFC girls would just whine and complain about an idea like that.

So, okay - when do the folks up north get to meet this girl? Heh...or at least a picture? Hmmmm?

Anyway, I thought the deepest chasm west of the Mississippi was the Grand Canyon... No? Didn't realize it was in Georgia... (of course you're REALLY West of the Mississippi - almost all the way West...heh). Hey, if I can't bust your chops, who can?
