No, I didn't fall off the earth...

Hmmm... Ok, you are probably wondering why it's been forever and a day since you heard a peep from this blogger. Well, as of the 2nd of October we decided to move to a cheaper place... Which, by the way, I had no idea I had so much junk! So we've been busy with that. Also, the Internet connection here won't allow high speed so I'm stuck with good old dial up... Yeah. One more thing to add to my excuse is the fact I've been making my sister a wedding slip. She's getting married this Saturday (we'll be leaving Friday which is why I'm writing now) and I'm almost done. Just have the finishing touches to do.

Since I still have some stuff to do I'll just hit the high points... The 5th we went to Georgia and I got to meet Jamey's grandma for the first time! She is soooo sweet! We traveled all night to get there and I got to drive through Atlanta! I had this feeling that if I stopped they would kick me out of the south! :~) Jamey also showed me where he graduated, a town called Washington. And no, I didn't get a picture of grandma! I could have kicked myself... Classic.

The 6th and 7th we were in Mauldin, SC where Jamey had a tryout. It's so beautiful in that part of the country!

The 8th Jamey took me to Chattanooga to show me around. Wow! I loved the mountains. Jamey first took me to a place called McKay's where we traded stuff and got more stuff, that was neat! After that we ate lunch and went to the top of lookout mountain! Oh but the view from the top is magnificent! We could literally see for miles on top of there. When I have more time I'll try to upload some of those pics. After that we went down the mountain a little to Ruby falls... An underground waterfall! It was so neat to be doing this! I had a good time looking at all the stalagmites and stalactites after I got over the whole "there are miles and tons of rock on top of me" feeling. We left there and went to one of Jamey's favorite spots, a park in a city he used to live in. It was beautiful there... It had two waterfalls! :~) After that we went to Nashville and had dinner with John and then came home.

The 12th Jamey's mom had the day off so we went birthday shopping for me. I had quite a lot of money to spend and I'm surprised how fast it went! The first stop was at Hancock fabrics (you doubted?) where almost all of the money was blown! :~) Jamey got home and we went to dinner and did some more shopping. I had just enough to get a cute little denim skirt, I'd been wanting one for a while now.

The 13th found myself a slightly spoiled 23 year old. Jamey had made me a cake the night before and made me breakfast that day. We lounged around the house for a while before going into Memphis for all of my birthday fun. I found out that I had gotten some more money from my parents and grandparents! Yeah, more money than I've ever spent! WoooHoo!! We went to an art museum to start off with, which was extremely neat. I found out what I enjoy most are the portraits of people from the 17 and 18 hundreds. Also they had some furniture there from that time which just made my mind want to explode! When we got done with that we went to a record store to see if they had any piano music... I don't play well, but I like to play. They didn't have any, so we went to this piano place and I spent half of the other birthday money on music! That done it was time to do what Jamey kept secret... A river boat ride on the Mississippi at night! It was beautiful! Memphis was lit up and the wind was blowing and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! Of course since it is Memphis the meal was barbecue, which was delicious! I had a really good time on that cruise! Again, when I have time I'll try to post pics. When the day was almost done, Jamey took me to the place where Elvis played one of his first shows and sang me Happy Birthday! Did I marry a great guy or what! :~) Any other birthday from now on is going to be a let down!

This past Tuesday Jamey's mom had the day off and we went and packed up the kitchen stuff. After we ran out of boxes, we went shopping to spend the rest of the money... We went to the Burlington Coat Factory. I love that store!!! Their clearance is about as good as Wal-marts but you get a lot nicer clothes! So you can guess where I'm going when I get Christmas money! ;~)

Anyway, that's what's been up since last I sat and typed... It's been busy! Now to go and finish that slip... I'll try to get on Monday so I can post about the wedding!
