Hi friends. Hope all is well!!

As many of you already know, my sister and Hoch came down to NC last week to spend time with family and friends. If you haven’t read the scoop, check out Kimberly’s post here.

My mother and I had to work (insert sad face here) while they were here but the time we did get to spend together was fabulous as always. And to top it off, my grandma and her boyfriend Wilson came to visit from Wilmington.

Saturday, my sister rounded up a group of friends and family to spend the day at VBGB Beer Hall & Garden in Charlotte. It’s so crazy how times have changed. They had young bucks playing volley ball in the sand and it took me back to Kimberly’s college days at NCSU. We didn’t play of course but it did take me back. We were once those kids and now we’re raising babies and nieces and nephews and having friends getting married and having babies or having babies and not getting married and you know what?…… I think it’s pretty awesome…where we’re at in life. I wouldn’t change a thing and I’m pretty sure most would agree. 🙂

Moving along, let me remind those of you who don’t know that I’m #1, a light weight because I never drink. #2, a happy drunk because how angry and drunk can belong in the same sentence together is beyond me and #3, I LOVE day drinking. It’s the best.

These photos are all from Saturday at VBGB Beer Hall & Garden and String Bean except the tail end; they are from Sunday. They are REALLY random (like myself and particularly when I’m happily buzzed) and most of them are taken by myself unless otherwise noted.

Before I share the photos, I want to wish my sister and The Hoch a safe, happy and surreal 6 month “vacay.” I feel like the coolest sister ever because MY sissy is traveling the world for 6 months… Like, who does that? SHE does. And I admire her everyday for never denying her gypsy soul’s desires to be wild and free. You GO girl. You GO! And bring me back a cool rock or a seashell or something. (winks) p.s. Te amo
