There's just something about the mountains...

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to the Smoky Mountains this past weekend for Memorial Day holiday, and it was just lovely!  I absolutely adore that environment, and I always immediately miss it.  We hiked about 9 miles one day and (over)ate the best food ever.  I would have posted more pictures on Instagram, but my phone's camera was giving me fits the first couple of days.  Regardless, it was a special time with a special person.  We've been twice before, so we made sure to do our traditional activities like feeding the bears at a certain store, riding the Sky Lift, and playing our favorite mini-golf course. I even won us a free game! 

I hope everyone else had as great of a weekend as we did!

Mayday

Hello, hello.

I'm back from my family vacation to the beach.  Unfortunately, I don't feel recharged like I did when I went back in October.  The whole experience was slightly disappointing.  I was in a horrible mood the entire trip, and the weather did not cooperate--meaning I was stuck in the hotel room watching Dr. Oz with my mom and brother while in aforementioned horrible mood.  It wasn't pretty.  

However, for roughly 2 1/2 magical hours on Saturday afternoon, the sun decided to grace us with its presence.  It was much needed.  

Needless to say, I am glad to be back in Starkville.  It'll take a couple of days to get used to waking up early and going to work all day, but it'll be nice to get back in the swing of things.
