Carlos and Morgan get hitched.....finally hehe :)

2011 was a year FULL of weddings for Jason and I.......I mean literally......we had 9......including our own!! Unfortunately because of the large number and the fact that we got married two.....it was virtually impossible to attend all of them. Hopefully everyone understood the circumstances and knows that we were extremely happy for all of our close friends and family that got married in 2011 even if we weren't able to make it. One of my wonderful hubby's best friends in the whole wide world.....might as well be brothers......got married this past October. We were both so excited when we found out they were engaged and getting married!! Jason was especially because they had been dating forever........I mean........let's be honest.....they were practically already married.....it was just a matter of time. Carlos asked Jason to be his best man which was a huge honor for him and he was even more excited about that responsibility!!

They had their rehearsal dinner at a great Italian Restaurant in Greensboro called Cafe Pasta.

Typical Adam being difficult.....at least he has a wife that always smiles :)

Being silly while we were waiting for everything to start! And yes, as requested......I had to leave some out!

Wedding Day!! Carlos and Morgan got married outside at Castle McCulloch and the ceremony was beautiful!! Unfortunately I still have a cheap-o camera.....so my pictures of the actual ceremony are very dark.....but here's some pictures of us before!

VIA TECH :)

 I have been very fortunate everywhere I have worked to meet great people and end up with lasting friends! Northeast Guilford High School was no exception. That's where I met my BFF Laura Beth and so many other great friends! One of the football coaches, Coach Via, has a son that plays for VA Tech football. (#67 Michael Via to be exact!) This year they played at Wake Forest University which is right around the corner for all of us! He invited a bunch of us to the game and we all had so much fun with a lot of laughter, cheering, and of course awesome seats!!

Via, Ramsey, and Little enjoying the game!!

 My hubby and I.....look at how close we were......LOVE this picture :)

 The new proud parents.....the Dukes!!

Ramsey and I

VA Tech ended up winning 38-17.....woo hoo......and we all had a GREAT time :)

Dad visits Greensboro :)

Ok, I am sooooo extremely behind in this, but I have been beyond busy and have finally somewhat caught with everything that I think I can do this for a little while. Ever since I graduated from college my mom and dad come and visit usually once a year where ever I am living!! This fall my dad came down and we all had a great time!

The first night he was here my high school was playing a high school right down the street from our house, so Jason and dad came to watch our game......and of course.....yours truly in action :)

Saturday Jason and I decided to take him hiking at Hanging Rock because he LOVES being active and sight seeing.  Oh.....and we can't forget Tego......the border collie......who absolutely LOVES hiking too!!

It was a beautiful day in NC and dad really enjoyed the view at the top of the rock.....even though he may have been a little scared to go to the edge :)

Saturday night we had a great dinner at the Bean's house with my sister-in-law, her fam, and Momma Smith!
Anyone that knows my dad knows that he enjoys at least a drink.....be it wine, gin, vodka, etc.....a day. So, when Jason and I were trying to think of where to take him on Sunday.....we thought the vineyards would be perfect!! Childress vineyards (yes, owned by Richard Childress for you avid NASCAR fans) is about 30 minutes away from our house......so we headed out on another beautiful NC day and enjoyed brunch at the vineyard......

Then went on a tour.......

 Walked around the vineyards enjoying the scenery and weather!!!!

 And of course......you can't go to a vineyard without doing a wine tasting :)

We had a great day and were super tired by the end, so we decided to grab dinner at a local restaurant Fishbones and come home and watch football. And of course......my dad had to spoil the dogs a little by letting them on the couch.

The weekend went by very quickly, but Jason and I really enjoyed his company. Can't wait for the next visit to show him more parts of NC!! Love you Dad :)
