Feeling Happy
It's Been a While
Wow, it's been a while since I did an update in this journal. This month we've had some crazy weather here in Kentucky lately.... everything from snow to tornados ... and wild 30 mph winds today. The wind has been howling most of the day on and off. Not sure if we want to venture out in it. We're so glad it's Friday and the weekend is here. Brrrr it's cold outside.
Since Christmas, Rob and I celebrated our ten year anniversary and had a beautiful vacation in the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, TN. We stayed in a beautiful log cabin five star resort with all the amenities you could want. It was a wonderful vacation!!
While there, we enjoyed exploring the mountain scenic views looking down into the city from 1500 feet and more up in the air. I was glad to get back down to the flat ground though. We rode a ski lift up another beautiful mountain and from way up there you could see the whole city lit up with Christmas lights; but again, I took a huge breath of relief when we were done with the ride and back on flat ground again. We really enjoyed walking around Gatlinburg. It was very quaint and charming with lots to do and see. We bundled up and enjoyed hot cocoa and a wintery walk the night of the ski lift ride.
We arrived in the mountains on NY Eve and watched the ball drop in Times Square on tv and watched movies late into the night.... and hung out in our cabin with the whirlpool bathtub, huge master bedroom, fully stocked kitchen, living room with roll out sofa beds for the kids... and our own washer and dryer!
One day while we were there we took the kids to the on-site resort multi million dollar indoor waterpark. And we enjoyed a dinner show! It was a really memorable vacation. We went out to eat two or three times and made a nice dinner and breakfast in our condo several times. We also enjoyed sitting in the hot tub outdoors while itwas snowing. We are planning to go back again later this year and do some horseback riding this time.
January brought my birthday on the 31st and I'll just say I turn 28 every year. We haven't really celebrated yet. I think we may go to Olive Garden tonight or tomorrow night. Just depends on if I can get my nails done, hair done, outfit ready to wear. LOL.
All seems well here in KY. The puppies, Maggie and Brownie, get a little bigger everyday. They are beautiful dogs. They still chew up a lot of things. The kitty is still very little and pristine (Dakota). Her mother London has stopped coming around to visit and we think someone may have taken her in finally. She hated being indoors though and will only be happy if they let her outside a lot.
The kids are doing well. We've had one snow day so far in January and hope for maybe another soon. It's so beautiful here when it snows. We all look forward to the snow after five years in Florida and missing living in the north and having four seasons.
They had report cards the other day. Nick is getting ready for spring baseball and is an official teen now and sometimes has the attitude to go with it. He loves the study of all things scientific and especially space exploration. Aaron is building a fort in the valley across from us. And Courtney is still a princess and loves all things Hannah Montana.
It's nice dropping in here for a change of pace from my private journal. Hope you are all doing well. Have a great weekend!

I'm so glad to hear from you hon! I was getting ready to email you personally after you left a comment in my journal and ask where you were. Sounds like a wonderful, enchanted Anniversary. Congrats on your 10 year mark. May you have many, many more ahead of you. Everything sounds serene and calm at home for you (Beside the teen attitude-I've lived through it *winks*). I've missed hearing from you.....Is your private journal just something for you, or do you share it with readers? If so I would love a link...then we can stay in touch. (Hugs) Indigo
