Meeting the Fiance!

My BFF, Erin, got engaged in October but since she lives in Ohio (boo hoo) we haven't had the chance to meet her new main squeeze. I've heard tons about him and we're Facebook friends, but I haven't met him in real life yet. She works in retail so it's not so easy for her to pick up and come down here and with me having 4 kids it's not so easy for us to pick up and head to Ohio. Anyways...we finally got the chance this weekend for her to bring him down. We haven't seen much of Auntie lately so the kids were beyond excited to have her come. They arrived around dinner time on Friday and we had a nice evening at home just catching up and getting to know Tom. He's super nice and they really seem to care a lot about one another.

Saturday Erin and I were anxious to dive into some wedding planning but first we humored the guys and went to lunch at The Pit (a BBQ restaurant in Raleigh that was apparently featured on one of those food shows). After lunch we dropped off the guys and headed to David's Bridal to start peeking around at Flower Girl dresses. The girls had a big time trying on every flower girl dress at Davids. I think she got some good ideas and some ideas on colors. We spent some time at home browsing dresses and other ideas on the 'net. She has a ton of great ideas and wow have things changed in 11 years!

It was a nice weekend and as always was great to visit with Auntie. It's going to be an interesting and fun time as she's planning the wedding!!
