One night while out a won a happy hour party at Buckheads (yes, most of my going out stories begin or end at Buckheads) so we planned our party for the Friday the 9th. There were about 10 of us au pairs (including Diogo a male au pair from Brazil) and Michael. We had an awesome night as usual and took way to many pictures of pretty much the same things.

Sunday the 11th was the final of the soccer world cup and Tamara and I headed down to Brady Street for a block party, which is where they block off the whole street and put up big screens where you can watch the game. I dressed in my South African tee which says “Kiss me I’m South African” on the front and has a SA flag on the back. We had a really fun time and it was great to see all the team spirit. They opened the event with African dancing and singing which gave Tamara the idea that I have to perform a solo African dance while in Vegas…thanks T! We actually have a list of 50 “dares” that we have to accomplish in our weekend there, it may get a little crazy, but I think it will be fun! Can’t wait!

Michael decided that he wanted to make me dinner one night, his parent’s house has this cute little balcony, and he thought it would be perfect for a home ‘date’. I offered to make desert (milktart…of course) Michael fetched me, and when I arrived at his house his parents were so cute, they were all excited about the meal (which was a recommendation from his sister) I had told him he better make enough for his parents, even if we weren’t eating with them! We ate dinner on the balcony, and it was just perfect, candle lit dinner and wine, and a gentleman…

Michael plays volleyball for his college (Loyola) but also plays a in a social beach league. Thursday afternoons are volleyball day, so I went to beach and met up with Tamara and her and I watched the guys play for a while, when she left I had this sudden urge to try play. I found a group playing who were unevenly matched plus they didn’t look too serious or professional, so I asked if I could join, they were more than happy to provide the middle spot on their team. Once I had a spot I announced that I had NEVER played before, everyone in my team just looked at me and after some rearranging I was placed in the position “least-likely-to-get -the-ball” which was fine with me! After playing for a while, I had to serve…it must be noted that the guy that I like and am trying to impress is two nets down playing like a pro, so I was a little intimated! That’s probably why the ball hit the net the first time, but after that I got a little better and even managed to score some points for my team (I am not sure if that is the correct terminology?) I had a lot of fun though, and I would definitely try again! One of girls on my team was playing with her boyfriend and almost every time she served she would hit her boyfriend in the back of his head (he was on the same team as her) it was pretty funny!
