Saucey!

I have a new job! Not really a "new job"...but more of a project. For almost a year now, my dad has slowly been looking at marketing our sauce (the red, mustard, and grilling sauces and rub). He has now passed that ball to me! I took on my duties by planning my very first business trip to Louisburg, NC to glad-hand the bosses at Bobbee's Bottling, our sauce manufacturer. (Louisburg is above Raleigh and in the middle of NOWHERE! To give you an idea, my hotel turns off the lobby lights at 9 every night to save on the electricity, the clerk told me. When I left this morning around 8am, there were three other cars in the parking lot, other than mine-not exactly a hoppin' tourist's spot!). Our first run of the sauce is scheduled for the second week in October, hopefully in time for me to set up a booth at the Southern Christmas Show!

"Matt, what are you going to twirl now?!"

So, Matt lost a bet a few days before our wedding...and had to shave his head. Well, I was like, no way are you shaving your head right before our wedding!! So he didn't. I thought the issue was gone, forgotten about, never to come up again. Oh, I should have known better.....

A Day in Charlotte

On Wednesday, Matt and I decided to get out of Clover and head to the city! We started our trip to the Discovery Place in uptown Charlotte. Now I normally associate the Discovery Place with school field trips, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and warm milk. But not this time. Matt and I went to see "Body Worlds-The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies". Yes, I said real. If you guys have not heard of this, go to www.discoveryplace.org to check it out. It was simply amazing! I'm talking we saw embryos in test tubes through the first eight weeks of pregnancy (on the eighth week, the "embryo" had visible hands and fingers!), a REAL smoker's lung, blood vessels, and on and on and on. To my disappointment, but not to my surprise, I wasn't allowed to use photography within the exhibit, so you'll just have to go see it yourself!!

After spending a large portion of our day staring intently at human cadavers, we went across the street to Stool Pigeons. If you are ever in Charlotte for any reason, hit up Stool Pigeons. We had the best time there!!!
