I couldn't get this picture to work but I thought that this was beautiful! It's "How great thou art" ingraved in wood.

We almost bought a pair of boots from this guy....maybe next time. I have this obsession now of owning a pair of cowgirl boots. So sue me!

I got a tattoo in Gatlinburg :)

Hey all,

Josh and I have been home for a few days now and are trying to get back in the swing of things.

It's been nice to be able to go on vacation for at least a few days.

For those who don't know Josh and I went to Gatlinburg TN for the week. Let me give you a brief summary about the activities we partook in.

First Josh and I went river tubing. We paid 14 bucks to get 2 hours of fun and some good ol' BBQ! Josh took a bit of a spill. His tube got caught on a rock and he flipped over cutting his ankle. It's OK though we patched him up. We had a great time....aside from Josh "almost loosing his life on the rapids that day".

The next few days were filled with Shopping in Gatlinburg Driving through the smokies. We decided to got to Cherokee NC Indian reservation a day early (where they ship in bead work and other native American crafts from out west) to get our car inspected. That was an experience in itself. Josh and I got to Cherokee and tried to find a place to get an inspection. after driving over 60 miles we finally found out they don't do the full inspection in Cherokee and that we had another 30 miles to go. We went the next 30 miles to Maggie valley and got that finished and were pretty much done for the day after that.

Next time we won't try to mix business with pleasure.

Today Maggie and I went to the park for a walk. She is always so curious, so ready to explore, and is dragging me along the way. Sometimes I wish that's how my life was. She's such a sweet dog and teaches me so much...I guess what I am saying is that I can wait for motherhood. I can only imagine if I am this way about my puppy girl Maggie...I am in for it being a mommy.

Who has seen the show If you really knew me?

It's, I think one of the best shows on right now. It's in a sense motivational speakers who travel going to high schools around the country taking to kids about breaking out of comfort zones, not being so judgmental, breaking down there walls they build. It's called Challenge day. I found out about it through two of the speakers. They were in Louisville KY flying out on Continental Airlines.

I think the program could have been used in my high school.

I was in what the called resource classes pretty much all my life (since age 8). My parents divorce was right around then. I always felt that I less than other kids because I was a little slower developmentally. Kids would make fun of me for the way I dressed and the different things I would try to do to stand out. There were things that I would do because I wanted acceptance from anyone who would give it to me. That may have been why I was so bitter about those in High school who were happy. Because I looked up to some of them. needless to say it would have helped alot to know there struggles and to have them aware of my struggles. Anyway Check it out it's on MTV.

On a more hilaroius note.

It's my birthday on the 22 and My lovely Brother and sister in Law sent me a gift in the mail. It wasn't the gift so much as what it said on the envelope that had me rollin'

I love my family!

well until next time when I am a bit older and over my shart problem.
