The in-laws met the in-laws

Over Labor Day weekend my parents met up with Allen's parents for the first time ever. I think it went quite well.

Lunch at Sushi 101 with Dad and Sherry

Our first venue visit. 

Looking over wedding details with the Pratt's. 

Getting ready to ride the light rail to dinner.

I think he likes me. 

The families! And my Maid of Honor, Paige.

While we were in Charlotte, we also got to celebrate UNC Charlotte's first ever football game. The 49ers are still undefeated! I love my school! 

An update

Again, mark me down as worst blogger ever. But to be fair, my summer was crazy busy and the Fall is proving to be the same way. So here we go, a brief update.


At the end of June, our friends Patrick and Sarah got married. We joined the happy couple for a beautiful ceremony and a fun reception in Thomasville, NC.





We both got a short vacation the first week of July for an annual beach trip. We sunned, swam, ate, and relaxed with family and friends. My favorite part of the trip was making a shell keychain that is hanging from my rearview mirror. Of course I make my famous chocolate covered pretzels. I also got to catch up on some great reading.







Mid-July Allen celebrated his quarter of a century birthday. I made him a Budweiser cake. 







Then came the end of July. Everything changed. I got a new job working with UGA (hooray!) and put in my two weeks notice at Little Prodigies. And the next day another major life event happened... 

I assume all the important people reading this already know that Allen and I got engaged. If you don't, you've probably been living under a rock. But I may as well post some of my favorite pictures of the day. 








Early August I had all four wisdom teeth taken out. It was a pain in the behind, but Allen was a great nurse. Mom sent me get well flowers.





I started my new job at UGA the same day the students start. I love me new position! Sorry I don't have any pictures of me in action.



Lately, we have been busy traveling, watching football, and planning a wedding. From now until December, we have three free weekends. Yes, just three. This is going to be one busy Fall, but I can't wait!
