Back Home from Pigeon Forge

We are home.  We got in yesterday evening, around 6:30, I guess.

First stop?  My parents' house.  Whether they are with us or not, we always stop there FIRST when we get back into town.

I used my Fitbit the entire weekend.  I walked over a mile every day!  LOVE IT!

On the way up, it was uneventful. Not much traffic. Great weather.

We got there.  We definitely sent pics of lots of stuff to my mom and sister during the trip.


Although it's a little blurry, that was the first sighting of the mountains that we had on the way up!

While we were there, we had to go to Krispy Kreme.  We went on 3/17 while they had GREEN doughnuts.  We got to watch them make them.  It was AWESOME!  (I did a live video of some doughnuts coming through.  Go check it out on my Facebook page.)



They look a little weird, but they tasted like HOT, melty Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  (Sorry if you missed them on St. Patrick's Day!)


We ran a Pot of Gold special for our Paparazzi customers. (There are still a couple left, if you'd like one!) Only $5.... plus shipping, if you aren't close enough for delivery!


4,6, 8, and 10 are still available!  Order before 8:30pm and we will open it live on our 9pm show tonight!  (Just send me your email in a private message so I can send a PayPal invoice.) It's on our Jackson's Jamming Jewels VIP Group.

We found a couple of new places that we love.  On Saturday, we met up with the youth group at the NASCAR Speed Park. We had been past it 1000 times, but had never been there. 

We also found out that Timberwood Grill at the Island is AWESOME!

Then on Sunday, we found the Old Mill Restaurant. There's a bunch of little stores around it. It's awesome!  

They give you so much food!  We couldn't eat all of it!

Also.... they have a water wheel and water fall behind it (in front of it--guess it depends which direction you come from!).  So of course I had to get pics of Chasity there.  







On Sunday night, we went to a new mini-golf place called Crave.  Everything is candy and ice cream themed. They have an indoor course and an outdoor course that it played on the roof!!!

They also have mini-BOWLING!!!  Of course we had to play that too!







I WON!!!!  


On Monday when we stopped for the ice for the cooler, we noticed a screw in tire.  We had JUST gotten the tires before we left on the trip.  So we had to get that patched.  That was a 2 hour delay.... but.... it was done and we made it safe.



On the way home, we had a little rain.  Some construction traffic. Then the NC Sign.... the signal that we are heading home, but it won't be long until we go back!  



I love Pigeon Forge. I can't wait to get back there!  


Hopefully I'll see it this summer!  

We are wanting to go again at Christmas too!  

Where's your favorite place on Earth?  (Hint: Pigeon Forge is MINE!)

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
