Golf season is in full swing...Andrew's already traveled to Puerto Rico, Mexico and Fl. I just got back from Nashville with my DECA chapter!! We had 3 state winners..yeah!

Christmas 08 a little late!

I wanted to put a few pics from Christmas and our trip up to NY to see Andrew's family. We had a great Christmas here in Knoxville and then traveled to see everyone in NY. Here are a few pics from the trip!

Our B&B for the week...Bill and Joanne's beautiful home

Our new backyard!

We got a fence this past week and we feel like we got a whole new backyard. We LOVE it and feel like we have more privacy now. Jack loves it too and he is already going through his doggy door, that Andrew installed, on his own. He love roaming around back there and it make us feel better since there is no way he could get out. Andrew took some pictures of the stages of the fence going up so you can see the transformation. We hope to stain the fence this summer to match the deck!

salUTe to excellence!

On Friday night, Andrew and I went to the 21st annual Salute to Excellence. It is the major fundraiser for the Lady Vols and all the money raised goes to their scholarship fund. Pat Summitt auctioned off a dinner at her hosue and it went for $50,000! She sold 2 of them! Ginny and Diana also came...they looked beautiful...we had a great time!! Thanks for the tux Dad!

Our Water Dog!

Last Sunday, Andrew and I took a trip up to Norris Dam State Park with my cousins Griffin and Emily and our dogs, Jack and Molly (Griffin's 3 year old yellow lab). We had a great time going on a hike and letting Jack teach himself how to swim. I can't really say we taught him how, but cause as soon as he got in the water, he started swimming. At first, he wasn't too sure of himself or getting into the water, but after a couple of times, he seemed to love it. He loved being outdoors and not on a leash and enjoyed his time with his new friend Molly.
