Charlotte with family

I made it back to Charlotte for 3 whole days!! Mom came to visit and we hit the Cheesecake Factory, searched for apartments, and had a wonderful cookout with Richard, Kay, Emily, Steven, Madeline and Julie. These girls lit up the night! It was impossible to get us all in one picture.

wait, Ricardo calling...

got the girls... where's emily?

o.k. this is what we've got!

June...already??

And summer is here before you know it! Must admit I'm looking forward to a nice long 4th of July in Tennessee to relax a little. In the meantime, just got back from a quick trip to Berlin (in last post), Birmingham, England, and just wrapping up my last day here in Houston, Texas! I was able to meet Amanda, Jeff, and Lake while I was here. And how cute is he? You see... despite the crazy schedule they have me on, there really is some good perks when you get to meet up with friends.
