PICKWICK LAKE

This weekend was a lot of fun. We went to one of my favorite places Pickwick Lake. I have been going to Pickwick since I was three years old. It is to me a place of so many memories, a get away from the world, and where I met my crazy husband. My parents have always had a boat there and in 2003 they finally purchased our cabin after MANY years of looking. When out on the lake you will find my friends and I either at the waterfall or Panther cove. This weekend Mike and Connor joined the Pickwick Parrothead club and we attempted to do a treasure hunt on the lake. We never completed it, but the journey was eventful. Once off the lake we usually try and make it to the local Freddy T's Beachclub (see pics below).

Happy Birthday America!!!

Mike's friends Dave and Justin came in for the 4th weekend!! We all went down town Friday and Saturday night. As usual we went to one of our favorites WannaBe's and between the whole crew we sang LOTS of songs. I believe this picture is when they sang "Don't stop BELIEVING!" We are not always that good, but we sure put on a great stage performance. For example: notice my hubby in the upper right hand corner (air guitar). Mike and I sang of course "JACKSON". Some of the others were Save a horse ride a cowboy, Pickin wildflowers, and the list goes on. It's never a dull moment with these guys!! This was from Saturday night at Second Fiddle. We HEART Nashville!!!

My Post wedding Hair

I have had lots of people ask about my post wedding haircut, so here it is! Mike and I went to visit his parents Father's Day weekend. This was a picture taken at MiNu. It is one of my favorite places to eat in Washington DC. It is located in the Georgetown area and it's a very different restaurant. They have belly dancers that go around performing for each table. There is also a bird cage you can eat in. (sounds strange, but it's really neat) Anyways now back to my new haircut. As many of you know I was not expecting Mike to propose when he did and was supposed to chop my hair off the very next weekend. I told him after the proposal that I was so glad he did it before I cut my hair and of course he didn't get why. So needless to say I was soooo ready to cut my hair off after the wedding. I cut it off 3 days after the honeymoon. Mike likes it both ways, but I think he likes it better short because it doesn't take me as long to get ready. If you are in the Nashville area and need a place to go here is my salon: http://rodneymitchellsalon.com/. I have been to both in the past, but since moving back to Nashville I have only been going to Jenni in the village. She is GREAT!! This is Jenni and I on my wedding day. She of course did my hair and Jana did my makeup. Thank you ladies!!!
