Canadian Newlyweds Come to Visit

     This past Tuesday, Mark's cousin, Kevin, and his new bride Brianna stopped in Asheville for a visit.  They currently live in Calgary, Alberta but honeymooned in Charleston, SC.  Since they hope to live in Washington, D.C. in a few years to practice law, they were driving up there.  Luckily, they took a few hours out of their drive to stop in Asheville and visit with us. 
     We'd never met Brianna and she was just adorable.  Marcus took right to her and it was obvious she had been around children before.  She and Kevin brought Marcus a Calgary Flames beach towel, Flames hockey stick, and a Toronto Maple Leafs puck.  He's been hitting the puck around the house ever since and demanded on bringing his stick today as we drove around town. 
     We spent most of our visit out on the porch in the perfect weather.  It was warm, but not hot; there was a slight, sweet breeze, and there were only a few white clouds in the beautiful blue sky.  We got to hear about some of their wedding festivities and future plans before they had to hop back in their rental car and hit the road again.  Speaking of the car, it was a SWEET ride!  They were driving around in a brand new silver mustang.  Brianna said the car was too cool for them, but we thought they looked good in it.
     Even though we live far away from most of our family (especially the Canadians), it's nice when someone gets to stop in and visit...even if it is short. :)

Daddy stepped in to show him how as well.

Even though they just met, Marcus was willing to hug Brianna.

Sweet ride
