I’m currently in Charlotte, with plans to head up to Chapel Hill with the rest of the family later today to celebrate Brian graduating from UNC tomorrow. It’s my last trip for the next month, after two months of being gone almost every weekend. Somehow this spring was extremely busy!
So Katie graduated last weekend, and Brian is tomorrow. Funny how twins seem to reach major life accomplishments at the same time.
It is incredibly green and lush here in Charlotte, and everything is so pretty. We just don’t have the same kind of trees in Houston. There, everything feels scrubbier. I don’t think I fully appreciated how pretty Charlotte is until I didn’t live here anymore. David cracked me up last night when he said “I’ve seen you two weekends in a row. I don’t think that’s happened since high school.” Not counting when I come home for Christmas, he’s right.
I already text-messaged with Nick this morning to see how my little doggie is doing, the poor guy having been at my place for only 24 hours before being abandoned to Becca, Cari, and Nick’s house — and faced with their two excited (and much larger) dogs. He had 24 hours to figure out who I was, and now he has 48 hours to forget. The timing wasn’t great, I admit. However, it was amazing how quickly I relaxed once I got on the plane yesterday, able to finally chill out and not worry about what I needed to do for the dog, knowing that Becca and co. would take good care of him.
Nick said he peed in the house. I thought he might. The smell of the other dogs is too much for him. Well, that and he’s probably not entirely housebroken. We’ll work on it.
Katie is currently off getting her wedding dress fitted, and I’m about to head out to a different bridal store to get my bridesmaid dress altered. Then all six of us (me, Mom, Dad, David, Katie and Joel) will head up to Chapel Hill! There is a family dinner/reception thing at Brian’s fraternity tonight that we are going to, then graduation is tomorrow morning in Kenan Stadium if the weather is good. (Or the Dean Dome if the weather is bad.)
And voila, everyone in my family will be a college graduate!
Your dog is happy/fine. He has a thing for food. He likes Bennet and Apache and is behaving like a little Napolean towards them. He definitely tried to mark a few times, but we beat him and now he mostly has the idea.
Yay! I’m glad he isn’t being a terror. At least not to people. 😉
I’m graduating too, look for me with my black robe and purple and blue hood. This is the first time I’ve graduated not wearing a yellow/gold tassle.
We saw you too, Brian, down on the field! Congrats. 🙂
Thanks!
