Hhas Kenny Called Yet?

My most memorable weekend in Charlotte was by far the weekend that Big Al and Sarah Biz came to visit. A few highlights? We kicked off the weekend with lettuce wraps and chocolate cake at P.F. Changs (one of my new favorites). Saturday morning it was off to Southpark for some shopping and the Cheesecake Factory for lunch (and no, we did not share 1 piece of cheesecake...we shared four pieces of cheesecake). And Saturday night....well, let's just say that it is when it got interesting.

We were in the mood for some football and fried pickels so we headed to a local bar called Alexander Michael's (interesting, I know, but what do you expect from 4 southern girls raised on SEC football and fried food? And we actually had to ask the bar tender to find a game for us to watch!). So there is this waiter...he's gorgeous. Not just good looking, gorgeous. We accidently listened in on the conversation he was having with the table of old ladies beside us: His name is Kenny and he is new in town. Perfect-I'm new in town too! For about the next hour, we worked it...and he loved it! And finally...the moment of truth, I am going to stop him to ask him for some ketchup. Here he comes. He's slowing down, he's smiling, we're working it. Wait a minute...he's stopping and I haven't even said anything. What is he doing? Oh my gosh, he's stopping. He's putting his arm around my shoulder and he's pulling me close. He's handing me something...a pack of sugar?? "Excuse me," he very seductively whispers in my ear, "I think you dropped your name tag". Oh my gosh!! Hysterical! I got set up while I was in the bathroom! Absolutely hillarious. Oh well, can I keep him? Oops...I accidently wrote my number on the pack of sugar that Katie just handed him. Hillarious!!!

And then we were off to the Corn Maze. Yes, you heard me...a maze cut through a corn field. Warning: the effects of this maze are greatly intensified with high heels and 3 ultras on board upon entering. Has Kenny called yet?

And no girls weekend is complete without a day at the spa. We finished our weekend off with a roadtrip to Asheville and a night at the Grove Park Inn. Absolutely amazing! I just wish Kenny could have been my masseuse ; ) Thanks for an incredible weekend, girls! I love you !!

Assignment 1: Charlotte

I began my travel nursing adventures in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte is a great city to live in! It is not a small city, but not a big city either...it has that little big town feel to it (you Mississippi girls know what I am talking about!). It is 10 hours north but still in the south. The people that I met were so much fun to be around and always welcoming. My favorite part of Charlotte? Katie and Brad. God is so good! What a gift it was for me to be able to spend six months so close to such a precious friend and her new husband. I truly cherish the time of fellowship living together in Charlotte that God so graciously gave us the opportunity to have.
