Our much needed time away...

was spent in Nashville TN. Both Ty and I agree that Tennessee is a beautiful state and if we ever move again we would love to live there. I absolutely love the mountains. We decided to save for another trip back to Tennessee but this next time to go to our MOST favorite place.. Pigeon Forge! Talk about somewhere I could live forever! To be able to look out your window and see God's beautiful creation and the breath taking view of the mountains! Anyway, I'm daydreaming and drooling :)

This trip took us to the Opryland Hotel. Those of you who know us well know that is where it all started for me and Ty. Each year we would go to the hotel for Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes convention. It was so nice to see the place where so many memories were made so many years ago. It was great walking around recognizing the smells and sounds and scenery. Not much has changed but some of the things we had looked forward to most were not there anymore (like Rachel's kitchen and that ice cream place). We had a great time together in such a beautiful hotel. Here are some pictures, of course the pictures do not do this hotel justice! Enjoy~

I love this man so much!

And he loves me too!!

WOO-HOO!!!

I usually wait until I have pictures before I post but I COULD NOT wait to get this post out. I am so super excited about this weekend. Several weeks ago my mom mentioned getting Nathan for the weekend. Well, I couldn't pass up the opportunity of mentioning to Ty about us going away for the weekend. *Side note* Ty and I have NOT be away (just the 2 of us) since before Nathan was born so this trip is much needed! Anyway, I kept running into barriers with everything I tried to work out. Either things were booked or too far away or cost too much or one of us didn't want to go to that particular place. Well, long story short, we both decided on a weekend in Nashville, TN! YEAH!! I would LOVE to stay at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel (that's where it all started for me and him 10 years ago this April) but it just isn't cost efficient so we are going to stay across the street from the hotel and spend all our time in the hotel other than the time we are sleeping. (I'm the brilliant one who thought of this!) :) HA! I can't wait! Our plan is to try and get off early Friday and head up and come back Sunday afternoon. You guys just don't know how much I'm anticipating this wonderful weekend with my fabulous husband! Thanks babe!! I love you!!
