Busy weekend in the Burg

We had a jam-packed weekend, full of family, friends, and yes, football. We were excited to host Becca's dad and stepmother, Wayne and Joan, for the weekend. They arrived on Friday evening, and we promptly went to Wade's for dinner. For those of you not familiar with this Spartanburg establishment, Wade's is a meat and three famous for its yeast rolls and funny billboard ads featuring vegetable puns and play on words. In a nutshell, Wade's is a fabulous place for a good homestyle meal, and that is exactly what we got!

On Saturday, Becca and Joan attended Becca's first baby shower. This was a great gathering of family and Spartanburg friends, hosted by Libba Hammond, Anne Swensen, and Susan Woodard. It was wonderful to see everyone, especially Bec's "Aunt Judy" who has been in our life since before we were born. She and husband Ron made the trip up from Tallahassee, and it was so great to get to spend time with them. And of course, the baby shower was at Bec's mom's house, a beautiful location. Biggest thanks to Nancy for all of her hard work to prepare the house for the party so everything looked perfect!

After the shower, Becca, Remsen, Dad, and Joan were off to the Wofford football game. We had a fabulous time tailgating in Lot C (mmm....Bull Hawg's BBQ), and saw some old friends in for the game. Despite a tough fight, the Terriers lost to Richmond and ended their season. We can't talk about the game without mentioning the excellent halftime entertainment, Marching 101, provided by the SC State University Marching Band. It was quite a show and worth braving the chilly temps.

In other news, our congratulations go out to Kristin Gusmer on his recent engagement!

On a more somber note, our sympathies go to Adam and Kent Brannon. Their dog Nancy went to doggy heaven this weekend. She was a great dog and will be very missed.
