Fall 2008

September 2008

Mike and I bought season tickets to the Tennessee Titans this past year. We had the best time and it was an amazing season. Each game we had a big tailgate with lots of friends. I believe my favorite game was when we beat the STEELERS! I hope we can do it again this year.

October 2008

In October we went with a large group of couples to the Smokey Mountains and stayed in a cabin for the weekend. This picture is from the hardest hike of my life. It was pretty much straight up a moutain and I honestly didn't know if I would make it. The temperature went from 55 degrees to 32 at the top. The guys rocked climbed to the very tip top and the ladies waved from the bottom of the rock :o).

November 2008

Mike and I have to rotate holidays each year because his family lives in the Washington D.C. area. I LOVE going up there. This year we spent Thanksgiving with my wonderful in laws. I really am lucky to have married into such a great family. This picture is when we took the nephews to the Natural History Smithsonian. It was an adventure with these wild boys and a lot of fun.

Meet Ringo Rigby!!

RINGO RIGBY

Yes, we are the crazy dog people! For Mike's first anniversary present I got him a red heeler puppy. He came with "papers" which goes along with the traditional wedding anniversary present guide. Ringo just turned 8 weeks and is a great puppy. It was meant to be once our blue heeler Sydney started loving him. We have had other dogs in the past and she didn't really care for them. She is being so sweet to Ringo and they play constantly. He got his name from the black ring at the base of his tail. I told Mike this is it on dogs for the next 25 plus years since this breed is the longest living dog in the world. The record I believe is 35. That is so crazy to think about having a dog that long. Mike and I will ALWAYS have a dog that's for sure! I can't imagine not having one.

Sweet Summertime

Pickwick Lake of Course!

July 2008

This picture is from one our fun filled weekends at the place where we first met "Pickwick." From the looks of the picture I believe we were at Freddy T's. Mike and I met at the BP grocery store in Counce, TN March of 2004. My girlfriends and I were checking out and Mike and Trevor were behind us. The guys ask us if we were going to party cove and I just looked at them and said we will be at the waterfall. I would have never guessed that he would one day be my husband. Both groups of guys and girls hung out the whole weekend and at one point Mike looked at me and said "Girl with those curls I think I could marry you.." and he did 4 years later :o)

August 2008

This picture was taken at my good friend Ashley N. Brown's welcome home to Nashville party. Mike and I had been out on the fishing boat all day. This was the day that we decided if our house did not workout then we were moving to and exotic island or Australia for at least a year. We were so serious about this. (just ask my BFF Mica)
