Five days after I returned from Boston, Rob and I flew to Greensboro, North Carolina. His friend Lisa, who he's known for years and who I'd never met, was getting married. And as Rob's sister also lives in North Carolina, we were able to stay with her.

We arrived on Saturday afternoon after missing our first flight (the airline's fault, not ours) and having to spend 7 hours at O'Hare. Not fun. At all. But luckily, we were able to get on another flight. We went out for a nice dinner with Rob's sister and her fiance, and then went to bed.

Also, I was excited because shortly after we arrived, Monica informed us that one of their dogs had had puppies to weeks prior to our visit. They were sooooo cute! I fell in love with the pick of the litter, who was named Max.



Sunday was Lisa's wedding. It was held at a public park. We set off after Monica (Rob's sister) and Bill (her fiance) cooked us a HUGE breakfast.


Rob's sister was nice enough to lend us a car. After the wedding (which was really nice, small, and low-key, though I've never been to a wedding where people cried almost the whole time.) After we got back, we played with Monica's and Bill's dogs. They have thirteen. Seriously. They also have a big house.

Above is a picture of me and Lucky, the labrador/pit bull mix. She's the biggest and strongest of the pack, but oddly, is not the leader (that honor belongs to Jack, one of the Jack Russell terriers).

After we played with the dogs, Monica and Bill took us on a tour of their property and let us play with their lawn equipment. They own several acres.

Later that night, Monica and Bill cooked us another HUGE meal, on the grill. I got in some extra bonding time with Max. I luuuuv him!

Here's Susie, the puppies' mother. She was such a good mama:

The next morning, we had brunch with Lisa and her new husband Jeremy.

And that concludes our North Carolina trip. It was a lot of fun.
