Biggie and Betty's 60th Extravaganza

Happy 60th wedding anniversary Biggie and Betty! Wow, what a marriage to celebrate! For this special occasion we headed to Beaufort for 5 days with 34 other Wilkins to celebrate this precious couple. The week consisted of sitting, eating, laughing, and sleeping! A good time was had by all, that is for sure! I am so thankful to be a part of this family through marrying Clint. My grandparents are sweet memories that I have from my childhood, but I was never given the opportunity to have a relationship with them as an adult...so I cherish Clint's grandparents!! Biggie is always the man making jokes and making people laugh! Betty is always the sweet lady concerned  for others needs.  Biggie and Betty still went fishing on the boat everyday,truly  remarkable for a 91 and 89 year old! Here are a few pictures from the week:

Austin, TX

Clint and I had the great pleasure to attend Kelly and David Hooks wedding in Austin, TX. We were in Texas from Wednesday to Sunday, we adventured around the city Thursday: wring Tex Mex and swimming in natural springs! Friday we ate more Tex Mex and had the rehearsal dinner down town Austin, Saturday was full of wedding festivities and a very fun reception! I have never sweated more in my life! A fun side note is that Kelly and David are both in the Air Force, Kelly who just became a captain and a hook so now she is: Captain Hook!

Fun adventures around town:

Under Contract

Rouse House Under Contract

1103 Margaret Lane

Kinston, NC

 

 

After several weeks of looking at houses and trying to decide if we should buy a house or rent a house? should we live in the county or in town? Here she is! We are so excited!  Trying to not get TOO excited, because our closing date isn't until July 31st!  But, we are under contract for this great home!  Fun fact about this house, the family that used to live here are the Rouses, too!  So, it is really a Rouse House!

 

Here we are in Austin, Texas signing and faxing our contract to Gram our real estate man! So, our joke is that we bought a house in Austin, Texas.  P.S.: We are in Austin right now for Clint's best friends wedding, David Hook!

 

Clint looked through every detail and every dotted line for the contract before signing!
