Story Line

It is such a beautiful day today!  Yesterday afternoon on my way home from work, it said it was 64!
 Maybe today will be the same :)  I may go home and go for a run.  Lord knows I need to! 

Since I am still new at this... let me backtrack a bit and give a little short story of our life so far...

Billy and I met through flag football.  My brother-in-law played against Billy's team and my sister and I attended most of the games.  To make a long story short, I was asked out on a date.  We started spending more and more time together and shortly became an item.  We broke up once but made it through!  Shortly after, being the good girlfriend that I was, I decided to help him buy an English Bulldog.  Billy had always wanted one.    
And this is Gus as a puppy!  He was so cute and nothing but wrinkles.  He's still cute and full of wrinkles now, but along with that comes drooling, shedding, farting, humping and so on.  (Lovely I know!)  But we love him.

This was his first Halloween... the costume didn't last long (as you can see in the first picture).  He didn't like it very much.

A year or so later, he popped the question!  And I said "Of course"!
We decided to wait a little over a year and get married that summer.  

For our engagement pictures, we went to the river, to a big field with tall grass and walked down to a farm and got some with the barn and tractor.  Ya know, a true Tennessee photo shoot!  

Then came the day I married my best friend!  It was fairly small, with just close friends and family.  It was a perfect day.

And now... this is the married life!!  We are both better people.  Most importantly, we have a better relationship with God, a happy marriage, a good relationship with our families, a house that we are very thankful for, jobs and have a lot of great friends!

Girls Weekend

Well, I had to steal a couple pictures of the girls weekend in Knoxville/Gatlinburg.  We had a great time visiting Holly.  Glad she is moved in and likes her place... but I wish her place was a lot closer!  I drove down on Friday after work.  Got to Knoxville at about 8:00.  I sang a lot of good tunes to keep myself awake on the way there!  Once the rest of the girls got there, we stayed up late and talked and snacked the night away. :)  


This was on Saturday before we headed to Gatlinburg.
Wish we would've taken a picture of the car ride there!  A 30 minute drive turned into an almost 2 hour ride getting through traffic!  Kayley kept us entertained, thats for sure!

This would've been just perfect if they had a CLEMSON hat for me...
but they must have been all sold out of those ;)

We walked around Gatlinburg for a while and then ate at Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant that night!  I headed back home after dinner.  Wish we all lived closer so we could have more weekends like this.

On Sunday, my friend Jessica got married.  I went to help her get ready for the big day!  It was very simple, but beautiful!  That night flew by... and of course back to work on Monday.  The weekends go by too fast!

Day 1

Hello everyone!  I'm new at this blog thing but I think I'm going to love it.  A new friend of mine has recently introduced it to me.  I think it will be a good way for out of town family to stay updated of our life in Tennessee.  Hope ya'll enjoy!
