Its beginning to look a lot like Chirstmas!

After an eventful Thanksgiving weekend, Jonathan and I returned to Murfreesboro to start preparing for the Christmas holidays.

Last night, we put up the tree and today decorated the outside - in the rain. We've listened to Christmas songs and made some chex mix so even with the bad weather we've had a good time.

Doesn't it look good!

We're Baaaacck!

So after catching some flack for taking so long to update our blog I obviously have a lot of work to do. Without further ado, lets get started.

The Breast Cancer Walk was Oct. 11th in Knoxville and our "Saving Second Base" Team was up early and ready for the challenge.









Crossing the finish line!!!




The following weekend we headed to Greenville for the Memory Walk.

We had a great turnout for "Lou's Crew"! This event was much different then the one the week before but we had a great time for a great cause.










Straight from the walk, Jonathan and I headed to Clemson for the Georgia Tech game where Jonathan had a chance to catch up with his boys.


That weekend was a long road trip for me. From the boro, to Loudon, to Gaffney, to Greenville, to Clemson, to Charlotte, to Memphis and then back to the boro. Ugh.
The good news is, I finished my training in Memphis so I am now certified and we won't have the inspection issues we had this last time. Whew!

That now brings us to Halloween and the story of our Lil Pig. Lil Pig helped give out candy and was better dressed then most of the kids that came by the house! Too cute!


Jonathan and I also just celebrated out ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Can you believe it? This year has flown by! For the big day, we went to Nashville to Opry Mills and spent the first half the day shopping before checking into our suite at the Opryland Hotel. That night we got all dressed up and went on the General Jackson Showboat for dinner.
The next morning we had brunch at the hotel before reluctantly checking out and heading back to the real world. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of this weekend to upload.

However, last weekend Nanny and Pappa came to visit and we made our way back up there to see the lights. Before Opryland though, and our Highlight of the whole day/weekend/week/month was having dinner at the Loveless Cafe. The entire time I've lived up here I've heard about this place and never went. Its a landmark in Nashville and I had no idea where it was even at!
I'm a southern girl and have had my share of some good country cookin'... but never have I ever ate cream corn that tasted this good! The biscuits, country fried steak, homemade jams, hash brown casserole... yummmmmmmmm!!!
This is a must! The next time you come to visit THIS is where we're going.
