getting comfortable with saying ‘no’ 
host an outdoor movie night 

it’s been a pretty busy morning here, but we plan to do a small family outing later this afternoon- hopefully to a new brewery in town. if you follow me on snapchat {@nellemonaco}, you saw that last night we went to an outdoor concert series in charlotte called ‘pops in the park.’ i used to go almost every week {every sunday evening in june/fourth of july friday} when i moved here nine years ago. we met up with friends last night for a picnic, wine, patriotic songs played by the charlotte symphony, and awesome fireworks to celebrate america and a friend’s birthday. lots of fun! 
parks loved the music, fireworks, and love from our friends
so thankful to live in a country with so much freedom 
and thankful for all who made that possible. 
–the charlotte symphony–
jordan and our adorable godson, william
love them both
… if william is half as sweet as his dad someday…
which i know he will be! 
reid’s fine foods market has the best sandwiches {and honey roasted almonds}!
