Busy trip home!

J.R. and I drove to TN again this past weekend to get some more of the wedding planning done. We had a successful trip, and were able to meet with the wedding planners as well as find a venue for the rehearsal dinner. I also went to my first dress fitting, and am starting to get excited!

My dad took J.R. and me to a Valentine's dance to benefit the Boys and Girls Club in Knoxville on Saturday. We had a great time! Here are a few pictures (keep in mind J.R. and I had had about 4 hours of sleep the night before so we look a little tired!).



On Sunday, we took Max out to meet my dad's friend Ken and his dog Maggie. Max hasn't ever been able to just run free in a field, so it was such a good feeling to let him off the leash and watch him chase Maggie! What a perfect Valentine's day!

I think possibly the highlight of the day was watching Ken throw sticks into the water for the dogs to retrieve. Maggie frequents this area and is used to swimming in the river, so she had no problem bringing sticks back to us.

Max watched her do this one time and then decided he was going to as well. Having never been in the water, you can imagine what was going through his head once the bank dropped off. You can see the panic in his face, and the stick that he left behind :). I haven't seen my dad laugh that hard in a long time!

Snow Storm of February 2010

If you watch the national news or the weather channel, I am sure you saw the forecasts for the winter storm that reached us last Friday afternoon. Max and I have never seen so much snow in our lives, and even J.R. was surprised at the amount that accumulated. We played in it Friday night, all day Saturday, and part of the day on Sunday. I don't know who had more fun, me or Max:).






J.R.'s friend Jeff and his wife live in the same apartments, and we took the dogs out a few times to run in the woods behind the complex. Jeff's dog Ticks is quite a bit faster than Max, and it is hilarious to watch them hop through the snow, chasing after sticks. Check out the video:)!









Here is the first picture of our new townhouse that is being built down the road from where we live. It will be ready for us to move in around April, and we are very excited. We have an end unit and from what we could tell, the frame is already completely up. Stay tuned for more pictures of our new place in the coming months!
