We got some good news from North Carolina on Thursday. Dear’s niece got engaged. We are hoping to be able to travel to the wedding when we get the invite with time and place. We know the wedding will be in North Carolina. The collage above is from Katie and my trip across the U.S. to get her to North Carolina in time for her Marine husband to return from Afghanistan in 2014. We stopped in Asheville for a night and enjoyed a delicious meal on the Sunset Terrace at this hotel.
This is Dear’s older and only brother. I took this photo at our mom’s funeral in 2013. It’s his daughter Kacie who is now engaged to Chris. Terry is married to Christina and they have 3 daughters. Kacie is the youngest of the three.
Our kids just met up with Kacie and her sister Annie in California in January. These four happened to all be in California at the same time and carved out some time to meet up and get caught up. Kacie is standing between Josh and Laura. Our nieces are real beauties.
This is our daughter Katie, Christina (Dear’s SIL) and our oldest niece, Jenna. Jenna, Annie and Kacie are sisters. Christina is married to Dear’s brother, Terry.
Another post to keep me on track of what happened when.

Beautiful hotel!
And beautiful family! 😊
A fun trip to plan for! North Carolina is stunningly beautiful and I’m sure the wedding will be as well. More beautiful memories to be making.
We were there at the hotel on Saturday!!! Didn’t stay there but walked in and around it. What a beautiful place. WAY too expensive for us!!! Our son lives not that far from it.
Looks like the Grove Park Inn…lovely! Congrats to the groom to be and Best Wishes to the Bride.
