Mom Kings Second Visit

My mom surprised me back in September by giving me a call to let me know she would be coming out in Oct. It was exactly what I needed. Andrew was in the middle of another finals week and it is always nice to have someone to party/talk with while Andrew is focused on school. It also was a blast to go shopping for our little girl and it was around the time that all my clothes were not fitting anymore. So it was nice having her around to help me put together some cute maternity outfits.

One morning we just sat on the couch and talked for hours. We kept getting up to get ready for the day but just kept talking. It was a blast! Andrew is such a good sport to sit there and listen to us go on and on. :)

We went on some adventures while she was here. We went to the state fair (that is worth a whole separate post) and we went to the Historic Yates Mill. It is a really pretty mill just 20 minutes away form our house. We did a short beautiful hike and learned about grinding corn and wheat. We are going to go back in a few weeks to see all the fall colors. It has been weird to adjust to not having fall colors till late October and early November.

We always love to have visitors and have a little bit of home brought to NC. For anyone who wants to come visit, just hop on a plane and we would LOVE to have you. :)
