Nashville

This past weekend we headed off to Nashville to celebrate 10 years married!  We had SO much fun.  We stayed at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Nashville and do so many fun things!  First thing we did when we got there was we got some boot!  Authentic cowboy boots!  Happy Anniversary to us!! That day we took a hilarious pink bus tour - the ladies were so crude, so dirty and SO funny.  We had a nice dinner then hit up the honkey tonks which were SO MUCH FUN!  The next day we visited the Gaylord Opryland Hotel which was SO beautiful and saw the Ryman where The Grand Ole Opry was first done!  We had another great dinner and then of course went back for some more honkeytonkin!  Our last day we cheer on our Mountaineers to a big win against Baylor and then walked around a bit downtown before heading back for naps before a beautiful dinner inside the SUPER BEAUTIFUL Union Station Hotel which used to be a train station.

Nashville is such a fun city and we will be back again soon!  Hotel Indigo was beautiful and we had a incredible weekend!  I even met Elvis!

Apple Picking 2014

We had a really fun day at Hillcrest Orchards picking apples today.  Started out a bit rainy but it cleared up for a great day of fun!  There were pig races, a petting zoo, tractor rides, music, slides, pony rides, face painting and more!

Pumpkin Picking

Fall is in the air here in GA!  We had the perfect day of cheer, pumpkin picking and WVU football!  AJ and her cheer squad cheered their boys on to victory on a beautiful chilly morning and then off we headed to the Kinsey Family Farm.  We picked pumpkins, went on a hay ride, fed the animals and enjoyed the cool air!  When we got home it was time to cheer on our Mountaineers.  At half time we were winning so the kids wanted to get outside and play - we didn't want to miss the end so we compromised - kids got to run around outside with the neighbors while we watched the end of the game on the front porch!  What a perfect fall day!

All About Dad!

Alex has had a busy week!  Tuesday was donuts with dad at AJ's school and Friday was Dad's Day at Dylan's school!  The kids always love having special time with there awesome father - it's so cute to see  how excited they get for these days.  By the looks on everyones faces, a good time was had by all!

36 & Loving It!

Today I am 36 years young!  I feel great, I have the most amazing husband in the world, the 2 best kids on the planet and a super well behaved and adorable puppy and a pretty cool cat!  I have a great extended family who I love and miss very much but I am fortunate enough to get to see pretty regularly considering how far away everyone is.  I love working at Dylan's preschool a few hour a week and I love volunteering at AJ's school helping out during reading groups, in the Science Lab and chairing Green Team through the PTA.  I still love running, cooking and wine and I still love shopping!  36 feels great - I am blessed!

Tonight we hit up our favorite Vinny's for dinner - just the 4 of us!  We had a great night!
