Big News!

I can finally share the big news

we wanted to wait until it was final

but we have sealed the deal & told our family and close friends

WE ARE MOVING BACK TO RALEIGH!!!!

[date to be set]

Jared accepted his new position with an amazing company in the RTP area and starts at the end of July

we could not be more excited to be able to call our favorite city home once again 

can't believe it has been three years since we lived there!

let the house-hunting fun begin

last week was full of celebrations

starting with this amazing spread that was made the night he received THE call :) 

there was a day filled with fun with my awesome emergency room co-workers

a day on the lake then to the pool followed by a girls dinner at Village Tavern and topped off by wine on a rooftop overlooking downtown Greensboro

the amount of fun and friendship shared between this group of women is amazing

and if the week just couldn't get better 

we met with Libby for dinner and got literally the best package ever

yep, that is our wedding album

which is seriously drool-worthy beautiful

I am obsessed

it is a hard back book with huge thick pages filled with all our favorite wedding pictures 

in addition to our album and our parents' albums she gave us a beautiful walnut wood box

the box is for our wedding/marriage mementos and is just too adorable for words

there are three small vials that can be used to hold teeny-tiny memories 

finally she printed off a ridiculous amount of hand-edited 4x6 pictures and wrapped them in an antique lace embroidered "R" monogrammed handkerchief 

yes, I was almost in tears and yes, I have looked at the album roughly 20 times

sadly, a fabulous week wad interrupted with a super-duper hard day at work

luckily, there was a waitress who felt my pain and gave me a very heavy pour

thank you said waitress and sorry for crying at your table.

phew, seriously looking forward to a long weekend at home in Wilmington with my family and friends
