It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!
For months now, my friends and I have been planning a trip to the Mountains. We were hoping to get away and see all the pretty leaves, but we got a GREAT surprise when we got to Ashville on Friday....SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! In my family, snow is like the ultimate fun! With the slightest hint of snow in the forecast Mom is on the ready with milk, bread, hot coco and maybe an occasional spur of the moment trip up to the property! A fire is a must at all times, too! It has been getting much colder this year, than last year where I was wearing short sleeves at thanksgiving, so getting to see all the snow made it feel like winter is finally here.
With the last month crazy busy for myself and all my friends, we haven't had much time to hang out so it was so nice to just hang out and chill with good friends. Sitting around a fire, playing Wii, some good guitar pickin' in the background, a good book, and lots of laughs is what I call a good time in the Mountains! We made yummy dinners both nights and played games that we laughed our aceses off in! If you ever have time, you HAVE to play Battle of the Sexes....it is so funny some of the answers that you get from each sex.....and the surprise you get when they know the right answer!
To the left are all the girls ready to go to town for the day. It was a trick to just get out the front door and to the cars due to all the ice and snow! Don't you know that we didn't want to get our shoes wet much less bust our butts, which almost happened umpteen times....always made for a good laugh! Can you believe that we had that much snow?!?!?!?
Here is Amanda and I freezing our booties off! It was 28 degree's out side and I am sick as a dog too! This was taken on the front porch, where we were trying not to slip and have a nice background of all the snow! After a lazy morning, it was time to get out and see the sights.
I don't know if you guys are aware, but it seems like every time we all get together we end up at Mellow Mushroom! It has become one of our favorites, so it wouldn't be the same if we didn't go up in Ashville! This is were we ended up to defrost ourselves from our oh so FREEZING walk around downtown Ashville. It was a cute little town, but definitely different. Needless to say we stuck out like sore thumbs! Guess I'm going to need to 'Repent'....hahaha (inside joke from the trip)
Who doesn't love to look out over the rolling hills? It was breath taking! This is what we got to look out over while we were there! God is truly amazing! I have seen some breath taking places, but the mountains just fell like home to me! From the time I was little to now, we have been raised going to the mountains for a "getaway from the city". It was the same for my mother and her family because we have property and family still up in Dillard,GA. I found myself as we drove up through there thinking of all the old family stories I have heard a million+1 times from mom and how much I love my families heritage and all the memories we have up in the Mountains!
Wahoo for seeing snow....it has kicked off my holiday season with a BANG!!! Oh and I think I'm going to start doing a favorite commercial/videos on here every week because there are some really funny ones out there that need to be shared! So if you see one that needs to be posted drop me a line and I'll see what I can do!

Slacker!
I have tried and tried to think of things to blog about, but as I have mentioned before I think of things and then I forget to write about them. So I tried to write them down, but when I would look at the list I couldn't remember what I was going to talk about, so then I was back at the starting point.BOO! Most days I really haven't felt like blogging or nothing is blog worthy and I don't want to bore y'all will my ramblings...So all I got today is what has been going on this week.....
Sunday~ Went to Dawsonville by myself to do some shopping....Enough SAID!!!!
Monday- Nothing....watched some T.V.
Tuesday- Dinner with Dad and Marcy....Really fun cause they usually are never both at the same in town, so this made for our 3rd dinner in a week! I must say we it's always good eatin' and great company when I'm with them! Our first night of dinner treats was to Maggiano's Little Italy on Wednesday, followed by a shopping trip on Friday night with Macry and then dinner at Seasons 52 that Dad got to join after a canceled business meeting! Then on Tuesday we went to one of the oldest restaurant in Atlanta...the Colonnade! YUMMY! We had the best waiter...he has us laughing all night!
Wednesday- Ate leftover fried chicken from the colonnade while mom and I watched a interview with Dolly Parton and then I watched the CMA's. They were amazing!!!! Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are by far two of my favorite country singers (which I got to see this past year in concert) and they were awesome hosts! They both took home awards and I was so happy! It was so cool watching them this year cause my friends and I have gotten a chance to see just about all of the artists that preformed last night....not all, however there are a few that I would love to still see! I was a happy girl at the end of the night needless to say! Who else watched them? any favorites from last night??
Today- So far did some cleaning and I have been jammin' out to some new songs that I downloaded this week. For those of you interested in what I downloaded....the Lady GaGa album, Amos Lee(2 albums), Corey Smith, and Taylor Swift....SO GOOD!!!Oh yeah, I painted my nails black for the first time....it goes with the outfit. It really isn't me, but every time I see it on Lauren Conrad from the "Hills" she looks so cute, so I thought since I'm wearing black today with some yellow accessories that I would try it! As for tonight I plan on going home eating some grub and watching Ugly Betty and Grays! Oh the life of a single girl! Hey it works for me...for now :(
Hopefully, this weekend will usher some motivation for blogging material! Still working on the final plans! So far all I have going on is UGA/Auburn party, another Wedding shower and then babysitting! Hope everyone is having a good week! TTYL!
