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! :)

Conferences & Cupcakes in Pensacola FL

I had a continuing education conference this week in Pensacola, (which, surprisingly was really good)! While in town, I spent the night with my friend, Britney and we taste tested the two local cupcake shops, Oh Snap Cupcakes and Cupcake Emporium!

Cupcake Shop #1 - Oh Snap!

The conference...I actually really enjoyed this conference - the teachers were both really interesting and knowledgeable!

Cupcake Shop #2 - Cupcake Emporium

My good friend, Britney, posing with our cupcakes!

From left to right on each row: Oreo (from Cupcake Emporium), Strawberry (Oh Snap!), Peanut Butter (Cupcake Emporium), Peanut Butter (Oh Snap!)

We thought the peanut butter & Oreo cupcakes from Cupcake Emporium were delicious, as well as the strawberry cupcake from Oh Snap. We didn't love the strawberry cupcake from Cupcake Emporium or the peanut butter from Oh Snap (cake was too dry).
It was a fun girls night! :)
Hope you have a great week!

Random Mish-Mash of Pictures

Adam and I recently became owners of iphones...and one of my favorite things was the colorful (and girly) cover I chose. (ha!...I am so easily pleased!)
I bought Taylor a dry erasable table & chair set for her birthday...and these were some pictures Tori drew on it...
Oh what was that you said? You want to see pictures of my adorable nephew? Well...











...okay! That is a request I can grant!
Happy Monday! Amber

Because of You Wedding Two-Page Layout

Just a quick post (sorry for the less than stellar photos) with a page I made a year ago about how thankful I am that both sets of our parents have Godly marriages and have stayed together in a world that is so full of divorce. It is such a testimony to the sustaining power of God!
Have a great day! :) Amber
