Christmas in Greenville

We spent Christmas in Greenville with Mark's family. On Christmas Eve, the neighbors come over and we sing carols with accompanying violins. It is a wonderful tradition!

Christmas morning was exciting for everyone - the kids couldn't wait to see what Santa had delivered, and neither could Mark and I!

Christmas in Charlotte

This weekend, Mark and I hosted my family at our house for an early Christmas celebration. We had a delicious dinner and then shared presents with each other. Watching Hutch open his presents was certainly the highlight of the night!

Thanksgiving at the Farm, Part Food

After the fun, we ate. A lot.

Thanksgiving at the Farm

This Thanksgiving, we gathered at the farm to celebrate with Granny and the rest of the Dibrell crew. While the food simmered, the kids played outside - shooting clay pigeons, riding four-wheelers, and taking hikes. It was the perfect reminder of everything for which we're thankful.

LaGrange Wedding

This weekend was Dean and Phil's wedding weekend. It was so wonderful to see them (after way too long!) and visit with their families. I have visited LaGrange on several occasions, but it was the first visit for Mark and my parents. Plus, we were able to visit with a lot of our long-time Wake Forest friends!

GreenBuild

This week I flew up to Boston for the annual GreenBuild Conference. It was 3.5 days of learning, exploring and listening to several wonderful speakers. For instance, Rick Fedrizzi, President & CEO of USGBC and E. O. Wilson, who, among many titles, wrote The Diversity of Life.

After the conference ended on Friday, I toured around Boston with a few friends from my old job in DC.

Quick Trip to the Farm

This Sunday we decided to drive up to Marion for the day - Mom and Dad were so surprised! We spent a wonderful afternoon at the farm enjoying the fall foliage.
