I was convinced that the building was playing a joke and leading us around in circles because I SWEAR we were practically where we started when we ran into a security guard, and it turns out that the building WAS playing a cruel joke on us. The sign to the alleged 'Administration Office' pointed to the right. However, thanks to the security guard, where the sign should have pointed was down. I was beginning to really like that security guard... Then he did something abruptly ended our potentially promising friendship. He denied me a high five. I was just trying to be friendly. WHO DOES THAT?!

11 am... Perfectly punctual, we finally enter the Georgia Dome. The nice man at the desk pointed us to Ashley Grubbs, GA Dome's PR specialist, and that Matt Springfield, GA Dome's Event Coordinator. I really enjoyed the guy at the desk. That's the kind of guy who will return a high five.

Ashley, Matt, Jean, Glenn, and I then continue to look in every nook and cranny of the dome, from the Visitor's Locker Room where laid on the massage table to laying on Astroturf with Matt while he explained exactly why it "doesn't leak."

The tour was really amazing. I cannot wait to go back on December 2nd!

By the way, when we were leaving the dome, and I passed the guy at the desk again, and yes, we finally high-fived. I really like that guy.

12:30 pm... We got back to the hotel, and Glenn had some editing to do. It didn’t take long for me and Jean to get bored watching him and deemed it necessary to get lunch. After all, by that time it was around 12:45pm. We were hungry!

Glenn worked his little hands to the bone while Jean and I walked around for a bit. We got back to the hotel, fed the film at a station, and headed toward Tupelo, Miss.

5:00pm... On the ride to Mississippi, I realize we're going to go through Birmingham, and guess what? That's where I'm from! With that thought, I called my mother, and we met the 'ol fam for dinner. We'll got to the fast-food restaurant, ordered food, and still no Melton had showed. I was beginning to think that my family was standing me up. You think they'd want to see me!

Then passing by our window is my Aunt Leigh Ann and my cousins Jennie and Robbin. Word spreads fast in my family! They live nearby and came by to say hello. Shortly after that, my parents arrived, and Glenn and Jean got a glimpse into my family life: loving, caring, and loud. That's my family. I love them dearly!

I'm not sure what time we left there, but after that, it was smooth sailing to Tupelo. I'm in my hotel room right now, fighting sleep, so I will give you more updates tomorrow!! Jack Cristil, get ready!!! I'm excited!!
