This past weekend I headed to Greensboro for my sister Kaitlin's birthday celebration. I can't believe she is 17!!! I honestly remember when she was born and it seems like it was just yesterday!! She has grown up into such a beautiful and special young lady and I am so excited to see what the Lord has for her future!! We had a fun dinner at a local mexican restaurant and then headed back to Erin's house for cake and some fun with Super Mario Bros on the Wii :-) My little nephews are obsessed with this game and are soo funny when they play. They jump up and down trying to get their player to jump up and down and keep getting closer and closer to the tv while they play...hilarious to watch!!
When I pulled up to the mexican restaurant I discovered that one of my favorite stores has come to NC and is at Friendly Center in G'boro. I found this store last year when I went to Houston with my friend Amy and we were shopping at the Galleria (which is one of the largest malls in America). It is called Charming Charlie http://www.charmingcharlie.com/ and is one of the cutest accessories stores I have ever been in. It is very reasonably priced, the store is organized by color, so if you are looking for something specific you can go right to the color you need!! They have EVERYTHING!! Shoes, handbags, jewelry, hair accessories, sunglasses, and even a little bit of clothing. I hope we get one in Raleigh soon!!!
Then to top the weekend off I made a last minute trip to Wilmington to meet up with my precious friend Julianne. It was an amazing 24hrs of relaxation and sleep and fellowship. I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing her into my life at just the right time. I was feeling lonely and disconnected and she has truly been the love of Christ in my life!! What a blessing that the Lord knew I needed and provided before I even had a chance to ask for it :-)
Here are a few pics from the birthday party-somehow I didn't actually get a picture of the birthday girl but here are some of my sweet neices and nephews :-)
