Backpackin in the Backwoods

So for my Outdoor Recreation class our final assignment was to go on a weekend trip packpacking to Jack's River up in north GA and it was so pretty! The trip was only 9 miles round trip.. which could have been done in a day.. but It was fun to be able to go to this beautiful waterfall. And the weather was perfect for us! Here are some pictures I took that I am pretty proud of especially taking them with my camera phone!

The Big 23!

So I didn't update about how my bday went! Maybe it's because I don't have pictures but that's even more of a reason to blog about what happened! But It was such a fun day on the 3rd of Nov I took the day off school since I only had 1 class that day and pete wasn't working! We spent the morning running some errands and watching my moms tennis team play which is always fun- they crack me up! Then I had to get back for my tennis lessons for the 5-7 yr olds that I still coach. Then went to Glady's and Ron's Chicken and Waffles which is just delish!!! And they had a recording of Glady's singing a happy birthday song that they played for ME! It was great and yummy! For my party we had about 30 friends and family come to celebrate at Dave N Busters to play! Everyone was also asked to represent their favorite team or player and I wore number 23 to represent the Hall of Famer and great Michael Jordan! It was fun running around playing the arcade games and I must say.. I did beat Pete and Dallin in the Nascar racing game! it was so awesome- and they weren't even letting me win! haha But my friends were winning tickets for me which I bought some cheerleading shorts with at the end of the day for my present! I also received some gift cards, a stuffed ga bulldawg from Dave n busters and my wonderful husband gave me a compound bow and arrows!! I took an archery class and I would come home telling pete how much fun I was having and he got his mom to ship out his Dad's old bow that pete would shoot with as a kid! At first we didn't think it would work because it was a 60 lb bow.. aka i couldn't pull it back! but We made it work and we tried it out at my parents last weekend! It was great.. and it looks like I'll be bringin home the dinner!! But finally my last birthday present from the dallin and michelle were tickets to see Twilight and New Moon on opening night! It was great to go out with the girls and I was so excited to see the movie!! I just love love stories! I enjoyed myself!! I think my overall conclusion is I really like Taylor.. and I really like Edward... if that makes sense.. haha and I meant exactly that. But I can't wait till number 3.. and then 4 (which i hear might be 2 movies!!!:))

Overall..GREAT birthday!!! Thanks to all my friends

and family! My mom made me the best present! A b

lanket with a t-shirt from every school I have been to and my sports teams.. well the school teams at least.

playing Dress Up

Oviously being such a tom boy growing up I didn't ever really play dress up... Well the older i've gotten the more i've really enjoyed the art of putting costumes and outfits together! I think thats why i love shopping.. and accesorizing. But Halloween comes around and it is just so fun! I had to dress up three times in the month of october.. and was thinking about what to be in early/mid september... haha sad i know.. but here are the pics..
