A Room With A View

How about that view? That is what we woke up to all week in Tennessee. Aren't those mountains just beautiful? We had a really great time on vacation. For those of you who don't know, we went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and spent the week. We couldn't have asked for more perfect vacation weather, it was in the low 80's everyday we were there. We rented a cabin for the week, that we all fell in love with. It was our home-away-from-home. Kassidy said that she could move there (although after about 5 days, she began to change her tune, she thought she would miss Nanny and Regan too much). We had an action packed week that I promise to tell you all about in posts to come. I'll leave you with one little hint of just how fun our week was.....FINALLY got to the cabin, ready to take a shower and get all snuggled in for the night and guess what??? NO UNDERWEAR! Yep, that's right, of all things that I forgot to pack myself....bra's and underwear! Thank goodness for Walmart. I know you are cracking up but hey, I can't blame you, I laughed until I thought I would die!

I'm so thankful that the Lord has blessed Mike and I with the opportunities to make family vacations possible. I guarantee we have created many memories that will last a life time.

Yes, I'm Alive!

Just wanted to let everyone know (because I know that you are staying up worrying about me at night) that I am in fact alive, just very, very busy and I have not had a minute to sit down at the computer, let alone "blog".
It's fair week and for any of you old 4-Her's you know what that means....craziness! Good news is that Kassidy got blue ribbons on all her projects and Karson got 6 blues, one red and her inch worm cake is going to state. I will have to take a picture and upload it later. This cake is a blog in itself! I'm really proud of them, they have been working very hard.
I do have some catching up to do and I promise it will be coming to you soon. We are leaving tomorrow for vacation, so I'm hoping that in my down time I can catch up.
Happy Thursday to you!

Bachelorette

Is anyone else watching this crazy show? I swear, I can't for the life of me understand how I let myself get so wrapped up in reality TV! Anyway....Jillian is driving me NUTSO!!!!! Why, why, why does she keep making the wrong decisions? I hate the fact that she let Ed come back. You snooze, you lose dude. Should have thought it over more carefully before you chose work over your potential "perfect" match. I didn't think it was fair to the other guys either. Then to keep Wes. YUCK. He just creeps me out. Surely this week she will let that guy go. How many times does she have to hear that he's there for the wrong reasons and possibly with a girlfriend back home? I'll say this for him, he is one smooth talker. Then poor Jesse. I loved him. He and Kiptyn were my picks for the final rose ceremony. It broke my heart for him that Ed and Wes were chosen to stay and he got sent home. I did some major talking to my TV set and hopefully Jillian heard me! I'm praying for better decisions this week.
