2011 Memories: Selling our Townhouse

Our first house together as a married couple!
We finally sold our townhouse in September of 2011...it was a very, very happy day! :)

Manis & Pedis!

Melissa & I bought each other gift cards to Bliss for pedicures and she brought the girls along for some manicure/pedicure fun. Then we had a tasty dinner out...a fun time was had by all.

Exciting News!

Exciting News Part One: TODAY IS OFFICIALLY THE LAST DAY OF TAX SEASON! I honestly can say I have never been so happy as I am this year to see this day arrive...mostly because this tax season has been particularly exhausting and difficult because...

Exciting News Part Two: I'm Pregnant! :) Adam and I are very excited to welcome our first little bundle of joy into the world later this year!

We told our parents in fun ways, which deserves its own blog post (coming soon?!!) but here is a little sneak of part of the announcement fun!

And furthermore, we discovered that our home is a baby-making haven...a mama bird has decided to hatch FOUR (bless her heart!) little birdies in our fern...it's pretty fun to keep an eye on them!

Hope your Tuesday is as happy as mine! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank You GOD for blessing me much, much more than I deserve.

Happy Thanksgiving...from our family to yours!

Craft Fair Fun

This past Saturday I went to a craft fair at the local fairgrounds...there were some cute booths...this one was all handpainted signs...

And this one had the cutest little (FSU) baby beanie...

But this booth by Crafty Expressions (see their blog here!) was my favorite. They make all sorts of cute stuff...beaded rings, note holders, picture frames, crocheted hairbows, and crocheted plush! I think it's so cool when someone has a business making crafty goods....

Isn't this little boy with the snowman the cutest??

Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Vacation Continued...

The first night we ate at the Apple Barn (toooooo much food)!

The next day Adam fished for our trout at a local trout farm and they cleaned and cooked it for us. It was really good!

I curled my hair!!! (HA!)

Adam ran into my Aunt Janet & family in Smoky Mountain Knife Works...we didn't know they were coming. They were with my Uncle Mal's family and were going to meet up later with my Paw-Paw's family who I had never met...so we arranged to go to the Dixie Stampede with them, and I got to meet them (see below)! Meeting some of Paw-Paw's family was something I've always wanted to do!

We ate at our favorite place there, the Peddler.

When we got there, the leaves were so pretty and fallish, but by the middle of the week, they were all gone and it was very, very cold and wintery.

At Dixie Stampede...

Meeting my aunts for the first time!

Me with my family I got to meet for the first time! This was so, so fun and unexpected!

The next day was an early lunch and some Cade's Cove exploring. It was so cold we only hiked once for a couple of miles to a waterfall.

The last day we went to the Apple Orchard and bought a bunch of apples, ate at the adjoining restaurant, and bought some fudge and candy for our families.

Then, we bought passes to play lasertag, mini golf, and go karts. (I ran into a wall and scared Adam to death on my go-kart, but thankfully, I didn't wreck the go kart or injure myself seriously!)

After that, we looked at boots (I wanted some, but they were waaaaay expensive!!!) and shared an oreo sundae (yum!)

Where we stayed...

The icicles on the mountains on our way home...

It was such a fun time! :)
