Lazy Days


It was rainy and cold here in East Tennessee this past weekend. Summer has definitely moved out and fall is here!!! I have to admit, I love it. I have always loved fall weather, and - especially since I'm 7 months pregnant - the cool air is welcome.

Despite the drizzle on Saturday, Matt went out for a game of golf, so I had the house to myself. I got to enjoy my Saturday sleeping in, doing laundry, sorting more of Colton's clothes, catching up on CMT videos, (www.cmt.com) and staying in my PJs - watching one of my favorites, Sweet Home Alabama - until mid-afternoon. I am going to enjoy these "selfish" Saturday mornings while I can.

Tennessee Thunder was scheduled to perform on Sunday, but due to some dancer cancellations, we had to pass and look forward to the next performance. So, Matt and I went out for a little shopping and lunch at Pals (I'm completely addicted to the burgers, the fries and the sweet tea) which was absolutely delicious. After lunch, it was back to the house for another lazy day. We flipped between football and NASCAR (www.nascar.com) - and if you didn’t catch the race, it was a true Talladega finish. We snacked, watched more football (oh, and in case anybody cares, I'm still the only undefeated team in our fantasy football league), snacked some more and finished the evening off by watching another one of my favorites – Robin Hood (the one with Russell Crowe).


There was nothing really special about this weekend, except for the fact that I got some much needed rest, which makes it easier to face this busy week ahead.  This week is the start of my third (and final) trimester and it’s full of work, doctor appointments, clogging practices and a trip to Indiana. In the middle of this crazy adventure we call life, I’m so thankful for the lazy days I get to enjoy – even if they are few and far between!

A Sawmill - Good for the Soul

Forklift Operator I don't know if there's anything more awesome than watching my child experience things that I got to experience in my childhood. For those of you who know my family and my background, you know that I was raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina (and when I mean in the mountains - I mean literally, IN the mountains)! We lived on a dirt road near my Grandparents and my Uncle Pat and Aunt Teri. My family ran a sawmill and raised a small patch of tobacco, so my sister and I made lots of toys out of sawdust (makes great toppings for dirt pizza), mud (cupcakes), sticks, slabs, horse buggies and everything else we could get our hands on. We spent lots of time outside. Not only were we just outside playing, but we were learning to work and to be involved and interacting with our family. It was our life.  We don't live in the mountains of North Carolina anymore, but we live right over the hill, in Tennessee. My family still runs a sawmill and I

Throwback Thursday

Image
If it's Thursday, and I'm looking on Instagram , Facebook ,  Twitter or any other social media app, I'm going to see #TBT (if you're not sure what #TBT is, don't feel bad because it took me a while to catch on to what it was too). Since "Throwback Thursday" is getting more and more trendy, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and use my Thursday blog to share some throwback memories! In 1994 (yes, Joe Diffie was probably rockin' on the radio), my family moved from North Carolina to Indiana. Even though we only lived in Indiana for 4 short years, I made a lifetime of memories. The school district we moved into was the South Henry School Corporation and my sister and I attended Tri Jr. Sr. High School. During those years, I was blessed with the opportunity to play basketball - and if you know anything about Indiana, you know that they LOVE their basketball (ever heard of Hoosier Hysteria? It's no joke)! Not only was I blessed to just be playin

The Best Is Yet To Come

Matt & I  - Little Rock, Arkansas Texas Road Trip 2008 5 years ago (this month), I went on my first road trip with Matt. Matt's Mom was moving to Texas and I decided to ride along with Matt as he pulled a trailer from Indiana (he stopped in Tennessee to pick me up) to Texas. I have heard that it's a long trip but we were so busy getting know each other that the time flew by. I have to say that being stuck in a vehicle with somebody for that long is a good way to figure out if you like them or not. :-) Lucky for us, it was just the first of MANY road trips to come. 4 years ago (next month), I moved to Indiana to be with Matt. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, but it was definitely the right one! Moving to Indiana helped me grow in so many ways. Living in Indiana allowed me to get experience with a new job, meet new friends and build memories to last a lifetime. Matt & I - Wedding Day June 11, 2010 3 years ago (today) I married my best
