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!)

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

My Goodie Box!

Image
Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine ! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa. There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap! These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it. These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner an

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi
