Maybe This Life is Just About Love and Tenderness

Well, I survived the snow and actually got to spend a full weekend in the sunshine. It was wooonderful! The weekend was great... full day of shopping of Friday and I scored some major awesome deals! Good deals make me happy.

Saturday was spent celebrating Brad's cousins 21st birthday. It made me feel old. There were a lot of teeny-boppers at his party and I felt ancient... I'm just glad we left before the cops showed up (Yikes!) It was fun though, none the less. Oh to be 21 again.

And the best day was Sunday... Brad and I did a couples shoot with Lori Hensley. She is amazing and I luuuuv her and her hubby. They were super cute and tons of fun! I can't WAIT to see the pictures in a couple of weeks!! In fact, I couldn't even sleep Sunday night because that's all I could think of.

The bad news of the weekend consists of not one but TWO bad hair "trims". The guy who usually cuts my hair is in Knoxville, but I didn't have time to go to Knoxville, and I need a trim to even up my hair (it was longer on one side than the other) so on Saturday morning I had to go to a random salon to get it trimmed. I went in, told them that all I wanted was a trim and to even up the side and not to touch the back... well the first thing the lady did was chop off random spots in the back. Then she unevenly cut the shorter side, and by uneven I mean butchered it! It was terrible. Then she left the longer side still longer. GRRR! I was so mad! So I went to the party with crappy hair. Sunday morning I went in for them to fix it before our pictures and the lady who got the pleasure fixing it was shocked to say the least of the terrible mess on my head. She had to cut so much off my already too short hair. So much for growing it out! And it's not even cute. Oh well... I'll just continue taking my Biotin vitiamins.

Enough hair talk... So I've been really excited lately. I get to plan another wedding! Yay! But this time it's not my own. I'm helping my sister-in-law plan hers and my bros wedding renewal. I can't believe this will be their 5th year! They never had a ceremony for family, so they are going to do it for the 5 year anniversary. And she asked me to help her. It makes me sooo happy to do it! If anyone knows of any place near Knoxville with a big tree in a field, please let me know, because that's what she wants. I just can't find it. But I won't give up the hunt, she's going to get her tree in a field. She deserves it!! She's been through a lot the past couple of years and she deserves the BEST! By the way, my brother is going to be home in May now... yay!

I know this is random, but if I write it then I will most likely do it. I'm going to try hiking again. I gave it up a couple of years ago. Brad and I were on a hike in Greenville and were almost attacked by a mountain lion. And by almost, I mean it was roaring like thunder at us and then proceeded to chase us after I ran from it, which I learned you ARE NEVER SUPPOSED TO RUN! I've been afraid of hiking ever since then. But this year I'm going to go for it.

Well blogger friends, I'm going to continue the wedding planning now until I go to bed. Have a wonderful night, or day depending on when you read this!

All I Need is the Air I Breathe

Well, sadly it's be a couple of weeks since the last time I wrote. I've had way too much going on lately. So a nice calm day with nothing to do has been nice. Yesterday was Valentine's Day.... So HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY (late)! I had the most amazing Valentine's Day ever! We didn't do anything that we had planned... We first planned to go to Nashville to see Edwin McCain play at the 3rd and Lindsley again, but we decided it would be too hard to get back for Brad to go to work today. Our second plan was to get a cabin in Gatlinburg for the weekend, BUT who knew they would all be booked weeks before Valentine's Day?! So then we thought a hotel would be a nice get-away... but noooo! Those were all booked too, unless we wanted to get a run down place with bad reviews, and let's face it that don't sound too romantic. So at the last minute I decided to turn our house into a nice "get-away". I decorated the living room with lots of white candles and white lights hanging from every where and I brought in a table to eat at with white table cloths and red dinner plates. It looked sooo pretty! And I bought a new white comforter for the bed and place white lights and white candles around the room. It was perfect! Our own little hotel! It was a nice alternative to going away. This was our third Valentine's Day together, and I look forward to 60+ more!

So, have I ever said how much I HATE cold weather and snow?! Because I do! The only fun thing about it is snow sledding, and that's only fun for a couple of hours. It's snowing AGAIN! Dang "global warming"!! I have spring fever in a bad way and to see it snow makes me sad. I'm ready for warm sunshine on my skin... not piercing cold wind!

Is it weird that I hate cold weather, but LOVE coats? I have way too many coats. I'm addicted to them. Our BIG coat closet is over stuffed and I can't bare to give any of them away because "I might wear that sometime." I have a serious sickness of not being able to give away things because maybe, just maybe I will wear it or use to someday. I get it from my dad... I completely blame him. You should see his garage of "I might need it sometime." Yeppers, he's to blame for my unability to give things away.

Speaking of addictions, Stupid facebook is taking up way too much of my time! Farmville, Cafe' World, Island Paradise, My Town... I hate them, but at the same time I can't stop harvesting and cooking and building!! I try to ignore them, but then I look over at my notifications and see that I have gifts and I just have to use them. I can't help myself. And then I don't like to publish when I can give away free stuff to friends because I'm embarrased to be playing them. Shew, I need help. But I do have to give myself props that I don't care if my crops spoil, or if people steal all my stuff. So go ahead and steal all my animals fur and eggs! I don't care!

Okay, I've ranted enough today. I really need a job! I'm applying for one this week! Woo-hoo! I'll write again soon if I survive this snow! Dream Big people!

P.S.
I am so happy for my life! It's turned out exactly the way it should!
