The meeting of the families

So this past 4th of July weekend our future inlaws met for the first time and it went great! My sister flew in from Kansas and mom and dad drove in from North Carolina and brought our dog Bandit. We had a cookout that friday (thank you so much to Andy's parents for hosting and his family for attending) and dessert was a tasting of potential wedding cakes (we had a winner - Daisy Cakes it will be http://www.daisycakecompany.com/). Then we went and watched fireworks on UT campus. Saturday was all about the dresses - both bridesmaid and wedding gown. One was selected and it was ordered yesterday :) I am going to wait until my bestfriend and maid of honor comes into town to make a decision on their dresses. Of course the guys did not want to partake in this and hit the golf course despite the rain. Dinner was Calhoun's on the river, our reception site, and for the most part went well. Unfortunately there is limited parking and dad had to take a little walk to get back to the restaurant and needless to say his frustration was obvious. I hope they overall liked the site we chose. Mom and dad left early sunday and we took Kristin for the delicious brunch at Copper Cellar. After gorging ourselves we dropped her off at the airport. So the meeting of the families has come and gone. With that going on I also started working at Carson Newman College. I have enjoyed it thusfar except for having to be in at 6:15am a couple of morning and a 35 mile commute but a nap in the afternoon revitalizes me. Hopefully I will have a great year there with minimal injuries and many wins. Hope all is well!
