Smoky Mountains Cabin Vacation

 

Adventure and natured called us. Our vacation to the mountains of Tennessee in a luxury cabin at the top of a mountain was more than we imagined. 

Being in nature is good for the soul. Being in a picturesque setting with my love and best friend, was magic. From cooking in the cabin, to the jacuzzi overlooking the mountains, to the fresh air, and peace and quiet, we had the perfect complement of rest and relaxation with endless opportunities of fun things to do in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. 

Dining, to wine tasting, to the Hatfield's & McCoys dinner theater, quaint shops, a museum, and game night at Mariah & Baylee's luxury cabin, we were lost in this vacation world we chose and it was absolutely perfect!

Mariah had planned a girls trip last summer, but I didn't remember where to or when. We ended up leaving town the same date to the same town, and we each had tickets to the Hatfield's & McCoy's dinner theatre show the same night, on the same side (Hatfield's). Booked several months apart and unaware of the other, our tables were right next to one another!! Like momma, like daughter. 

It was several days and nights of enjoying and taking in everything around us and he fell in love with these magnificent mountains. 

We certainly are blessed.

Femininity & Strength

 

Our mugs sit on the counter by the coffee pot and it just hit me how our mugs reflect who we are and as a couple.

David has always said that I am the definition of femininity. And him... he truly is strength. He is emotional strength, physical strength, mental strength, and he is a rock of strength in my life. He is my Boaz.

He makes coffee every morning, too. I like to remind him it's in the bible, HEBREWS!

FaceTime Faux Pas

 

Does any good story ever start off with, First of all...? This one does!

First of all, David & I seldom FaceTime. We text, we call, we email, but we are together when we are not working, so we don't FaceTime.

I think I wanted to share something with him and I like to read his expression, so I FaceTime'd him. To add to the fun, I put the camera down my shirt so when he answered, he was caught off guard and surprised...

When I didn't hear his immediate joy and jubilation, I pulled the camera out but it wasn't David's face I was looking at on camera. It was a gentleman in his office and clearly David thought he was going to surprise me! I started laughing, this poor guy started laughing is butt off! Of course it wasn't any of the guys I know from the Sheriff's Office!! David grabs the phone oblivious to what just happened and started talking to me.

"Babe! Babe! [David is talking away...] DAVID! Do you know what just happened?" I explained it and realization hit him. He introduced me to the Deputy over Narcotics. We laughingly said hello and I apologized at his visual. It was all really funny.

I never did share with him why I really called, I will save that for tonight. 

We do collect funny memories!

2022

 

We stayed up to midnight, I wanted to enter the new year kissing my love. 

This year...

        We are making new resolutions, together.

                We are making resolutions to benefit us.

Midnight on New Year's Eve brings the hope of promises of it's own, but it's in the choices we make together is wear the magic really is. 

Happy New Year's, love!
