While Kevin went to Nashville to celebrate the birth of Baby Will with TJ and Casey, I headed up to North Carolina for Kerie and Brent's wedding . Kerie is one of my girlfriends from high school and her wedding was actually less than 5 miles from where Kevin and I used to live in Huntersville.
Thursday my flight was delayed and I landed in Charlotte about 12:30 am on Friday. Angie was gracious enough to pick me up from the airport so late and by the time we got to her house, we ended up chatting until 3:00 am! Saturday morning rolled around and we were able to see her niece Lydia, have lunch with Denise (friend from our church in Charlotte) and visit with Angie's parents, Dennis and Marsha. Unexpectedly, Angie let me borrow her car for the weekend which was great since it allowed me to not have to rely on everyone for rides all weekend! To my surprise the wedding was going to be outdoors at the Birkdale Country Club and the weather was absolutely perfect for the occasion! We finished the evening with the rehearsal dinner at Jeffrey's in Mooresville and I left for Donna and Toogie's (friends from our church in Charlotte) house to spend the night!
After breakfast with Donna on Saturday morning, I headed to Birkdale to meet up with Marianne and Shawn to watch the Penn State game. The wedding was at 5:00 just as the sun was beginning to set. The weather was gorgeous, the bride looked magnificant and the time with my girlfriends was priceless. Kerie's brother's band played and needless to say, we danced the night away! It's just too bad the dj didn't have any Bone Thugs... As I flew home Sunday evening, I was reminded how blessed I am to have such amazing girlfriends. We have been out of high school for 10 years next year and even though we have gone our seperate ways, we always seem to find a way to make time for each other at least once a year. Becky B is living in Dallas, Becky J, Lauren, Leigh Anne and Linsdsey in the Raleigh/Durham area, Courtney and I are in Atlanta and Marianne is in Washington, DC. I am so grateful for their sweet friendship and can't wait until we have another excuse to get together!
