The Hickory Nuts

Michael and I went to Hickory over the weekend to visit my parents and we had a blast!!

Friday night we went to a fish fry over at some friends of my parents. These events are always so much fun because they start out with some awesome food, good cold beer and seeing some family friends. As the night rolls on, the beer gives way to Hildebran Kool-Aid (aka Jim Beam and Sundrop), the bluegrass music starts cranking, and the storytelling starts. When I say storytelling, I mean pull out your boots - cause the BS starts getting DEEP!!

Here are two of the best story tellers to ever come out of Burke County...You always want a Jerry or a Tonya at your party to keep it rolling!!!

On Saturday, we went to a wedding at Lake Norman. Some good friends of our family hosted a beautiful wedding for their daughter on "The Lady of the Lake" What a cool idea! You board a dinner cruise at 6:30, cruise around Lake Norman, the wedding gets started around 7:00 and then it's followed by dinner, drinks, dancing and then the boat brings you back around 10:30!

The bride was beautiful, her family is a hoot, and Vickie shook her groove thang! WHOOT WHOOT!!!
Here's the happy couple, Erin & Kenny! Congratulations!

I can only imagine what Jerry is laughing about in this shot...

In the famous words of Flo-Rida, we hit the flo and got low, low, low




Thanks to the Wilsons & Teagues for inviting us to share in their special day - we had a BLAST!!
