Girls Weekend in Charlotte

This weekend I had the great joy to travel with Amy & Jessie to Charlotte, North Carolina to participate in a bridal shower for our former PA and friend from our Taylor days, Erica Anderson. Erica has been living and teaching in Kenya where she happened to meet a very handsome dentist who swept her off her feet and gave us all (including Erica!) a surprise engagement a few months ago. They are getting married in September. You can read more on her blog, http://theviewfromafrica.blogspot.com. 

We left early Friday morning and landed in Charlotte where we were greeted by our other dear Taylor friend, Nicole, who just moved there. The shower was Friday night, then we spent Saturday shopping and getting Nicole more settled before having a cookout with some other Taylor friends, Justin and Kelly, who live there too. Overall we had a GREAT weekend reuniting with Taylor friends (a mini Second South reunion!) and getting to see Erica. 

Here are a few pics from the weekend!

Jessie and I on the plane, ready for Charlotte! 

Finally we got to see Erica! 

The happy couple. (Minus the bright light from my flash...)

Me and the beautiful bride to be!

2nd South reunion anyone?

Nicole is only slightly overwhelmed by the furniture in her front seat

On the way home, Jessie showed Amy the proper way to eat Cheetos.....with a fork. Clearly a genius way not to get your fingers orange!
