Girls Just Wanna Have Sun party at Club Mel’s

We call Melanie’s house, Club Mel’s because she throws about 4 huge parties a year! The girl goes all out with hiring a DJ and waiters/bartenders to spoil her guest’s! I feel like I’m at a resort when I go to her house.

Took a trip to Dahlonega today to see Ellie’s documentary presentation

We met her partner, Genevieve and her professor who is assistant director of film. He’s kind of a big deal. He’s the one that took the students to study abroad in Italy last year and hired Ellie and Genevieve as his paid interns. There were several poster sessions going on in the ballroom and many people dropped by to ask them questions about the documentary. It’s not quite done yet. The final project is due in September and the documentary will go to the film festivals in France and Italy.

After the presentation, Scott and I wandered around downtown Dahlonega and went into several shops and had lunch.

Scott bought me a cute little jumper in one of the boutiques. I will take it to Italy when my sisters and I travel there this summer. It’s very versatile. You can dress it up or down depending on the jewelry and shoes you wear with it!

So proud of Ellie!

This girl works so hard. Ellie is a senior in college majoring in film and digital media with a concentration in production. This summer she is taking Japanese as her minor. She is cramming a whole semester class into one month so she studies Japanese about 8 hours a day, works at a restaurant at night and travels to Dahlonega a few times a week to work on a paid internship project for UGA. They are making a documentary on an artist in Italy. She traveled abroad to Italy last summer which will be helpful in making this documentary!
