The food was good ole North Carolina Comfort food - BBQ turkey pull sandwiches, soda can roasted chicken, salad, bbq mashed potatoes, green beans, homemade hush puppies & rice krispie treats for dessert! YUM YUM YUM!
Nick was CHEF MASTER CHEF and made some slammin' finger-lickin' good food!

Moving every 3 years I've learned that the time goes by so quickly!!! So make the most of the time! I've learned to make friends, you have to be friendly. I've also learned that a house isn't a home unless it's filled with family and friends. Last night was truly a home filled with LOVE!
... this is what the kids looked like on the ride home. zzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzz
Christina & her sweet Brinley at the park... awesome photo by my sweet Dani
Playing outside on the playground tired out the kids... and the adults! The weather was perfect... with a nice little breeze keeping us cool with the weather still in the mid 70's with the sun going down!
Even being inside the house - it didn't even seem that crowded... because the level of COMFORT was there... everyone was just so happy to be together, socializing & eating good food, playing the Wii & with all the toys (thanks for sharing so nicely Howie!) and celebrating the end of 2008 with our make-shift countdown at some random hour just before we left around 10'ish.

Tori & Nick... thanks for filling your home with LOVE and making us all feel COMFORT in a place that is so new to most of us! The awesome prayer that brought us all together around the food and reminding us of the blessings of friendships and appreciating the new year to come!
HAPPY NEW YEAR and HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY TORI!

love, happiness and prosperity in 2009!
