These Women...

I have loved this past "semester" in bible study, I have learned a great deal from this group and am blessed to have them in my life. Looking forward to growing more together next year!

2009 Football Opener

Talk about a blast from the past...we went to the opening game at NCSU this past week and relived some college days in Raleigh. We tailgated in a sea of red and watched the pack take on the gamecocks under the stars on a perfect Thursday night! It was so funny to watch all the college girls that were literally in uniform, white sundresses with cowboy boots. They all looked so young, yet I still feel like I am young...hmmm. I absolutely loved all the excitement surrounding the season opener and feeling a little more connected to my Alma mater. It was so fun to reconnect with so many friends from the past and enjoy some pure NC State tailgating. Hopefully we will start going to more games...maybe even buy some season tickets and anxiously await a long overdue stellar wolfpack season!

Old Friends

I just spent some time reminiscing college days looking over old pictures from NCSU. These girls are still great friends of mine 9 years later! In fact, just this week all these girls, minus Danae (in Texas) and plus Shawn (who didn't make this pic) all got together for dinner and we laughed about many stories from our past. I think I am a little nostalgic this week because a small taste of fall has hit the Carolinas and football season is beginning! It reminds me of starting school each year at NC State and looking forward to football games and fun college days!

These girls are super special to me...love you all and here's to many more years of friendship!

Anna, don't you love this pic in our old apartment? Love those sun and moon prints in the background and our awesome patio furniture!

Lazy 5

To me, the Lazy 5 Ranch is one of the coolest places near Charlotte. We went Wednesday with the Barbers and Amy and I laughed the whole time. We decided that it is more fun for adults than children...the kids were scared of anything with horns and especially the water buffalo! Meanwhile, the moms almost cried from laughter after the llamas would sneak up on us and the water buffalo slobbered all over the window.

Fiona the Flowergirl

Kristy, our old nanny, got married in March and Haley got to be a flowergirl. Haley did great walking down the aisle, she intentionally placed each petal and took her role very seriously. The reception was at Graylyn in Winston Salem and it was breathtaking. I loved the details that Kristy and Russ picked out...you can check out the photographer's blog to see what I mean. Also, you may want to check out Kristy's portraits if you are into some serious eye candy!

Henry and Charlie "talking"

My good friend Lindsay brought Henry over for lunch the other day and it was so cute to see Henry and Charlie play together. Henry just turned one, so he is showing off his stellar walking and talking skills! Here is a funny video of them "talking" to each other. It is more like a grunt, but the back and forth is just too cute!
