from the heART: round two, huge improvement

My mom came to Charlotte ... again and this time it was way better! 

The first trip out to Charlotte was for my "look-see" trip before actually moving here. It consisted mainly of trying to find a place for me to live which turned into me being frantic almost the entire time, driving around getting lost because the roads start as one name, change into another, then change back into its original, drinking coffee and nearly having a break down because I didn't find a place to live. 

Move forward seven months. Living and loving Charlotte and the place that I did find to live, Mom was back and ready for a do-over! This time I was able to show her the city and know where I was going (for the most part). We hiked, we ate, we shopped, it snowed and then we ate even more! It was wonderful having her here and I'm so grateful that she was able to see my life in this new city! Love you Mom!

from the heART: limo race or excuse to dress up?

Limo race, scavenger hunt, bar crawl, and a prom theme that we turned into James Bond, how could the night fail? Good question and the answer is, the night was far from a fail! It was a blast running around Charlotte in our personal limo for the night. Sure there was probably a point to the night and nope, sure don't have a clue what it was. Had there been a category to see which team had the most fun, we surely would have received high marks.
