What a fun weekend...

Some of our great friends live in the amazing city of Charlotte, NC. We took a trip this past weekend to escape a little snow and visited them! We drove in the solid ice to catch our flight out of XNA last thursday to get there and see that our flight was cancelled. WE called before we left and they said sure come on up!! So, we were told they would add us to a standby list that consisted of about 18 people ahead of us! We left knowing we weren't going and were planning to go in a few weeks. Then...my brilliant husband says, "Call Fort Smith and see if we can get a flight out of there!" I was like, "WOw babe that's a great idea but it's probably not going to happen!" So, I called. They added us to a standby list of 3, and we went and waited hoping for the best! Well the best was that we were on that flight and were in Charlotte at 10:30 that night! It was a whirlwind of a day with lots of events...one including that I noticed my DL was expired...so before we got to the airport in FS we made a stop at the revenue office to get myself an updated DL. As I am waiting to get my photo, the machine breaks (No it was not my beautiful face that broke it!!:) JK! We had an absolute blast! I am sooo ready to go back. Charlotte is one of the neatest places I have been! A big city with lots to do, but such a southern home-like feel to it! I would go back tomorrow!

Taylor and Megan we love you guys and had an absolute blast with you! I am still trying to work off all the food we ate...but it was soooo worth it!!)

We fit a whole lot into 3 days. We went from the time we got there to the time we came home. Stayed up way too late every night (again totally worth it) and got up early to start our day together!

"The" fabulous friends!! Aren't they soooo cute!?!?!

This was at breakfast Friday morning...where the eating began:)

We took a tour of the Carolina Panthers stadium. It was such a fun thing! Got to see inside the locker rooms and in the suites and club seating.

My studly husband! He was dying to take that ball with him! It was in the locker room!!

This was one of the club seating areas. Very nice!

We went to a Bobcats game. They were playing the Miami Heat. So we got to see Lebron and a few other star players...along with the owner of the Bobcats Michael Jordan. Yeah no biggie:)

I sure do love this girl!

This was a great pizza place. They guys had Chicken Parmesan Pizza. Very yummy!

At one of the many malls Charlotte has to offer!!:)

Before Dinner at Cheesecake Factory

We might have gotten dessert...:)

We ate dinner at a fabulous Mexican restaurant! Cantinas is a MUST if you are visiting Charlotte!

Such a great weekend with amazing friends. We missed our girls but it was a great time away. It's so important for us to make time together as a couple. Our love and relationship is so important to us. It's vital that our children see a strong relationship between us and A love that they long for in a future mate. I'm so thankful we took the time to go! Plus...they have a blast when we are gone!!!:)
