Hey there little darlings!
I am back in action after a few days off since the end of the 31 Days series. I loved writing those posts, and they definitely gave me direction as to what I want this blog to be about!
So I have GOT to show y'all a few pics from our amazing long weekend. Mark got the day off work on Friday (yipee! yay hubs!), so we drove to Charlotte on Halloween night!! It was our first trip back since we moved to Wilmy...and the first time I'd seen my BFF sister in nearly 4 months...so boy oh boy was it a complete whirlwind of FUN!
Ready for the loveliest photo dump ever? Pre-wedding festivities are SO EXCITING!! My sissy gets married in May, and we had fun celebrating her upcoming nuptials all weekend long!!!
FRIDAY

Do you die?! How aaammaaazzziinnngg is this?
I had the best time at Hope and Sypros' engagement pictures. I was seriously so sad when they were over!! They were shot at one of my favorite places on earth, my grandparents' farm. Aaaand Hope and I love love love and adore (oh so much) Kristin and Lindsey, whose presence made the morning absolutely flawless and perfect.
This is my crew. :)
We snapped a shot of the four of us before heading out for a fancy dinner with Spyros' parents and my family (since it was his fam's first time in Charlotte)! As sisters, Hope and I are so lucky that our men love each other. Like, a lot. And I love Spyros so much!!! I can honestly say that I've truly looked at him more as a brother than my sister's boyfriend (now fiance!) nearly the whole time they've been dating.
SATURDAY
I got my haircut. Which was so amazing and so crucial because I had about 3 inches of dead scarecrow ends before that lovely appointment. (And if you're in Charlotte, Allison should be your girl. She has been doing my hair since college and is now my friend over my hair goddess. ;))
Then we went to the Lenny Boy taproom...a business near and dear to my heart because Marky used to work there for a bit. And because it's amazing (and amazing for you!!!!). I miss having Lenny Boy in my fridge at any given moment. I am so glad we squeezed it into our jam-packed weekend of fun!
Elite Beet is where it's at, y'all. I am obsessed. And it helps that it's naturally (and oh so beautifully) hot pink!
Finally it was engagement party time!!!!!
The hosts did an amazing job with this party. It was perfect in every way!!! And how precious are these pumpkins (and the hotties standing in front of them!)?!? Cheers to Hope & Spyros!!
SUNDAY
I stinkin love the Panthers. As the pretend son in my family (till my brother came along when I was 11), Dad toted me to every Panthers game for years. He created a dedicated fan in me! I am so glad Marky and I were able to go to the game on Sunday!!!
Would you believe that my English hubs is now an "American football" fan too? I made a Panthers fan out of him. Woopwoop! :)
--------------------------
I could keep on rambling about how wonderful the weekend us. There were tons of little moments in between these highlights that just made my heart sing all weekend long! So good to visit my hometown...love me some QC!
Hope you all had safe and fabulous weekends too!! I [obviously] loved ours so much. It was the kind that's so good...you need a weekend from your weekend. :)
Keep in touch, dolls!!
what a great weekend! yay for the party, football, and hair cut which is super adorbs!
