Celebrating 26 years in NC

I couldn't think of anything more fun than spending my birthday with little Mercedes Olivia and her parents. So this past weekend I went down to Greenville and had a great time with my cousins. We chilled around the house for a couple days, then we took off to the Outer Banks. We stayed in Kitty Hawk, which, as many of you know, is the town where the Wright Brothers first flew. Richard was working up north in Corolla, so Eileen, Livi Girl, and I took some quality time to shop. The greatest find of the century was at Room Rack Shoes. I bought Livi some hot pink Converse All-Stars for $7.50. I also bought some gold Sperry boat shoes for $29.99 ... which was a fantastic deal. It successful weekend overall. Nothing wrong with a weekend of shopping, great food, and family.

Sissy decided that she wanted to cuddle with me for a few minutes.

The cutest BYU fan ever.

Adorable.

Great quote from Wilbur ...

Mercedes' new kicks

My new kicks. That's right, they're gold.

I love the skinny jeans with the All-Stars. Great combo.

The beach at Nags Head

Livi wanted to get into the water so bad. She's gonna be a surfer girl.

There weren't any guards on duty, and the waves were crazy.

She started waving to me right after she spilled water all over herself. Haha.

It rained over 2 feet in Greenville over the weekend. That was a car that I spotted on the side of the road. It made us a little anxious.

This was the way we were supposed to go home. Didn't happen.

I don't want to reveal too much, but this is Olivia's Halloween costume. So cute.
