1st mobile post

While I am waiting on my oil to get changed I decided to play with the mobile blogger.
This photo is from trees in front on the Opryland Hotel. We drove to look at lights after Thankmas. Thankmas is dinner the second Saturday of December with the Holland family. We ate at the Omni Hut- the ABSOLUTE best restaurant in Smyrna no matter how many they get:)

Maybe next year we will go inside the hotel and walk through all the new stuff!

I don't know if this is working...

Holidays 2009

In November, we hosted Thanksgiving at our house- it was soo great! Michael's family did most of the cooking and I made several desserts and sides- it was waaay too much food- next year we will have to be sure to make more people come and eat! Here is a pic of Michael cutting- not carving the turkey- which was deeep fried by Grampa Plunk. Izabella Loved Madison....

This was our first snow! It was in mid December....it snowed from about 7am til 9am then it all melted. But not before I ran out in my jammies, coat and galoshes to snap a few shots;) Later that night, we went to a few holiday parties and Michael and I got all dressed up! This was at the Ankar's before we headed out in our limo to party!

I have a bunch of pics to download so I will try to get some more posts in before New Years!

Weathersby Wedding!

October 10th, 2009 we got married in Destin, Florida. The weather was warm and sunny and our family and a few friends came for the beach ceremony. It was a wonderful day! We had a great wedding planner that made everything beautiful and a great photographer that captured stunning memories--Michelle Castle Photography- she has a blog and she is amazing!

HOLY MOLY.

I am soo sorry I have been such a slacker lately. I have not posted since JUNE!! Where does the time go? Well, I have been a little busy. I guess I will have to make a resolution to be a better blogger:)
Well, Lets recap:
June 2009 we went to San Diego to see Chris Ashley and the boys- Madison wasn't born until after we left. We went to SeaWorld, Coronado Beach and while Michael golfed the boys and I went to Oceanside, CA and ate at Ruby's Diner on the end of a pier.

We also went to a Padre's game and Jack and Kortne came down and we shopped, golfed and ate alot:)

In July, I went to Destin to make plans for our wedding. Mom, Kayla, Jessi and Izabella went with me and we had a great time.

In August, I went on a Girl's Napa Valley weekend extravaganza celebrating Tara and Kortne turning 30, my 28th, my Bachelorette and Suzanne taking the bar exam.

In September, we had Engagement Parties-- one on Lookout and one in Soddy and Bridal Showers in Smyrna, McMinnville and Chattanooga- wow- that was fun! We recieved so many wonderful things!
In October, we got Married! I think that occassion calls for its very own entry....

Summer Time!!!!

Well, it has been a nonstop summer so far and last weekend I decided to get a little pool and let the pups try it out.

They really liked it. And they looked like drowned rats when they got out....

We also went to a really nice party on Lookout Mountain this weekend and had a GREAT time. Christian(pictured) and Brad were fabulous hosts and it was the best party I have ever been to from music to food to location to decorations, etc. etc.

I know I look prego in the above pic but I promise I am not. the dress kept sliding down(wonder why) and thats just a bad angle...anyhoo...

We are leaving this weekend to head out to San Diego and see Chris, Ashley, Jake, Ashton and MADISON GRACE:) I can't wait. I have never been and I am very excited to see them, and walk Ashley around alot so she will go into labor and we can see Miss Madison.


I have recently started working at a Pediatric Dental Office in Cleveland and although it's VERY busy I really love it. When they have the Open House I will post pics- the decor is AMAZING.

Mom and I went to try on dresses a few weeks ago and the top two are...which one do you think?

"Sterling" and "Reese" by Maggie Soterro- both have a beachy feel and low cut in the back.

Okay that the latest. I will work on doing a weekly (or more) post!

It's been a while- but Hannah tagged me so here goes...

I was just 'tagged' by my friend Hannah who has the best blog in the world. It's the only one I read regularly because she is so funny and makes the best stories out of what happens to her in her life. She's hilarious and awesome and she has the most handsome little boy. I would love to know her better but feel that she is a close friend and love to keep up with her online:)


So, for the tag I have to do 8 things,

February Fun at Nana's!

The pups have had a great weekend playing at their Nana's house before Chris, Ashley and Jake and Ashton move to San Diego. Here are some pics of their fave things- chewy sticks (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!) and chasing each other...and some of Jake and Ashton playing their ps2:)

Seriously. Where do the days go?

I can't believe it has already been over a month since I have posted anything.

I guess we have been busy with the new furbabies- who we named Carter and Cash. They are the cutest little things. We picked them up on December 16th. Michael's 33rd Birthday was the 15th and we went to Provino's for his free birthday dinner with some of his closest friends. Then, the next night we got our babies.

We took them to the vet the next day because the breeder told us the other litter's owners told him their pup had worms. Well ours got a clean bill of health and Carter(the big sister) weighed 2.8lbs and Cash was 2.3lbs. We took them for their booster shots yesterday and they had each gained about a pound. They are very sore on their little shoulders and squeal really loud if you touch or if they roll over on it:(
So, we had them for about a week and the Christmas madness began.

We visited the Swanson's in Tullahoma on the 23rd to see thier new baby Reif- soo cute and tiny and also got to hang out with the Fogartys.

Then, on Christmas Eve, we went to Murfreesboro to my moms to drop off the pups, went to Nashville to see my adopted mom, Danna and Sarah, my best friend since 2nd grade and visited and ate with the families. Then, went to Red Lobster with Sally, Michael, and Melissa, a Christmas eve tradition for like 10 yrs now. Finally, we went to my Dad's to hang out for a little while.
On Christmas morning, we drove to McMinnville to my cousin Kori and her husband Lucas's new home for all my mom's side to celebrate. Then we came back to Mom's then I got to go pick up Izabella and go see all my Dad's family at his mom's house in Smyrna. It was so busy and hectic but so great to see all the family.
The next morning, we got up early and drove up to Jeffersonville, IN(near Louisville, KY) to see Michaels sister and her kids and his parents. We played twister and the boys got to go pick out their own gifts from ToysRUs.
On the 27th we packed the furbabies up again and drove back to Chattanooga to go to Beth and Brian's Bar Shower. It was so much fun and the great end to a very hectic couple of days.
For New Years, we had a few couples over to eat drink and play guitar hero and hang out with the puppies. The next morning Michael left to travel to New Orleans to watch Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. I spent a few days at home with my babies and trying to get some chores done.
This week, I started working at in Ooltewah at Tedford Family Dentistry Wed- Fri, (along with still working in Soddy Daisy Mon-Tues).

The new office had their open house on Thursday night and I brought the furbabies and they were a BIG hit:) I am so mad that I forgot to take pictures of it. We had so many friends come by and see us. It was nice.
Well, I think that catches me up on the past month of missed posts and I guess I should make a resolution to post more frequently. I will do my best. Below are some recent photos.
Happy 2009!
