Camping Trip

This past weekend, four couples got together and we all headed up to camp at Elkmont. Little did we know what an adventure it would become. The night was filled with playing various games, roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories, lots of laughs, some crying (lol many of us were hormonal), and ALOT some drinking. By the morning, everyone was sitting quietly around the fire, either holding their heads or stomachs, as Rob cooked us all a 5-star breakfast. Ahhh, many times I have wondered what would happen to us if Rob weren't around. All in all, it was the most hilarious, most amusing, most enjoyable camping trip I've ever been on. So, here's a little peak into the nights festivities (before everyone headed home to recover in their own solitude).

What I'm Loving Wednesday

A fellow blogger posted this today and I thought it was such a great idea!

Here's what I am loving this Wednesday...

I love old items you can reuse as new. I was going through my purse box this weekend, and came across this wonderful find! And it's a perfect change for the Fall...

I am loving the way my body feels after doing a beginners spin class at the YMCA last night. Makes me feel empowered :)

I love primetime drama....I checked out a new show this past Monday called the Playboy Club. It was pretty intriguing and entertaining (for someone who has ADD this show is great). It has drama, violence, sex, scandal, and mystery...what more could you ask for?!

I absolutely LOVE this tea. It's, by far, the best green tea on the planet (thanks Mary)! If you decide to try this, be sure to add some honey for a hint of sweetness.

I love that dinner tonight is steak fajitas :) YUM!

And finally, of course I'm loving Rob this Wednesday. He's been such an inspiration in my life and I can't imagine these last few years without him. Love you, hunny!

Fall & Football

I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone in the whole state of Tennessee when say, "Woo-Hoo to the nice, cooler weather!" It isn't as sunny anymore, but I sure needed a break from all the heat and general "oh my Lord, I'm melting" feeling. I know this cool weather isn't going to last very long till we're all back in sweat mode, but I plan to enjoy it while it's here. I think I'm going to wait a tad bit longer though before I break out the fall/winter clothes box and move my tank tops into storage. Come on, Fall! Get a move on! As for all this rain we've been having, well, it sure saves on the water bill and my flowers are no longer dying. Win/Win situation, except I run around with a big, frizzy fro all the time. Oh yeah, and it's FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE! I'm glad I didn't attend our first game against Montana though, because as explained above, it's been raining alot. Oh, I'm a Tennessee Vol football fan and my boyfriend has season tickets, but I'm also practical. The game was delayed like 1.5 hours due to bad weather, and everyone who was at the game got soaked. Not my idea of fun when I can sit at a sports bar with some girlfriends, watch the game for free, drink endless normally-priced beers, eat a good dinner, and not get a drop of water on me. But, to each his own if you find that sort of thing fun. I hope to post future photos of some serious tailgating and games, so keep checking back to see how it's done! GO VOLS!
