reason #3984 to visit North Carolina

Now there's a happy boy!  Sorry we've been negligent bloggers this week.  I promise to be better, especially now that I have the disc of wedding photos from our photographer!  Keep an eye out for those in the next week(s), among other yummy things.

These photos were our last meal in North Carolina after a very brief but fantastic visit.  We went to a gorgeous wedding, saw some great people we hadn't seen in a while, ate good food, and sent a good friend off on her travels.  What better way to end the weekend than with a bo' berry biscuit and chicken for breakfast?

A little of what's been going on

Hushpuppies and bbq from King's in Kinston on the way to the NC coast.

 Who says you can't go home again?  Pilgrimage to my alma mater, the beautiful UNC-CH.

Oh yeah, it was that guy who said it.  Thomas Wolfe, one of UNC's many notable alum.

We've been having a great time in NC on the days leading up to our wedding.  The big day is TOMORROW - wish us luck!!!  Thanks to all our friends & family for your love in support :)
