I was over the moon when my dear friend Christy told me she and her boyfriend, Russ, would be in Charlotte for a conference he was attending.  They live in Arizona, so this was quite a treat to see her and meet him.  🙂  Christy and I were roommates while attending graduate school in middle-of-no-where Illinois from 2003-2005.  I am blessed to still have her in my life even nearly 5 years later!
