I have a student in my class that is in the hospital right now just to get her immune system back to good health! She is a sweetheart and rockin' out like a champ. Erin and I rode down to visit her in Atlanta! Erin had visited the hospital during her clinical rotations, but I had never been. For a hospital, it is the neatest!! I hate to even think that, but if you have to go at least it looks bright and cheery, the nurses are welcoming, and they even have cool things that go on during the day. When we got there Costume Bingo was starting! HOW COOL!! They don't give away candy either. It's more like gaming systems, games, dvds, etc! Sweet!!
What is here you ask? My early birthday present from Ryno!!
It's only the best planner . . . an Erin Condren Life Planner to be exact! Even the box it shipped in is precious!


I say this a lot, "presentation is everything" and Erin gets that. She even threw in some awesome gift labels! Hello Christmas presents!


Do you have an Erin Condren Life Planner or something else by her? Let me know!
Our trip home wasn't the fastest, but it was enjoyable! We had to take a picture on our swing on the cabin's front porch. It was so peaceful there.





Thank you God for our sweet trip, my amazing hubby, and our memories made together! Here's to 100 more! Love you sweetie!
Breakfast made by my husband was the start of our super Saturday! He decided on the way home from dinner the night before that HE was making us a good breakfast. I guess he didn't like my Cheerios. :) The sausage, grits, eggs, apple, and banana were delicious. I am blessed to have him as my love!

I really wanted to hit up some antique stores . . . so we did. Ryno really enjoyed himself, too. I was worried he wouldn't like it. We saw some really old things and some great refinished items.





{The Whole Fam!}




Our first full day there was gorgeous! We drove into Gatlinburg to do some ̶s̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ people watching! We had lunch on the patio of No Way Jose's Cantina and enjoyed some quesadillas while watching men fish in the river.




After our quick game of golf, we ran by the Park Grill. It's where we celebrated our one year anniversary last year. Delicious is how you can describe it. Ryan made reservations for us! Thanks babe!!



Our anniversary trip was great! It started out once we got the car packed up. I have to learn to minimize my luggage. Ryan carries his small suitcase and pops it in the car. I, however, carry out 3 bags along with 6 items on hangers. Seriously, it's a relaxing mountain trip. I am always overly prepared when it comes to packing for vacation . . . lists people!
On the hwy we passed Michelle Bachmann's tour bus! I asked Ryan to honk while I gave a thumbs up! The driver cut his eyes at us to make sure we weren't throwing up a different finger . . . when he saw we were giving a thumbs up we heard a lovely horn melody! I loved it!

After riding in the car until 11 pm we pull up to the cabin. Sorry, there's no picture because it was DARK! Ryan opened the door and something flies by his head! A bird that was making a home in the cabin was perched on one of the rafters. See him/her hanging out up there?





Relaxing for Ryno = FOOTBALL!


We are so thankful for little trips like these!
