Latest Adventure

The girls and I got home late last night after our latest adventure. On Tuesday morning, we took a five-hour drive to Knoxville, TN. There, we met our friend, Sam (another staffer). She let us stay at her house for the night. We went to Knoxville for another episode of Extreme Makeover Home Addition. I know, I know, the show is going to be cancelled BUT they are gong to air the Knoxville episode at Thanksgiving 2012 and the NC episode Christmas 2012. 

On the way home from TN, Marika saw a sign for Dollywood and said she'd always wanted to go. We weren't in too much of a rush to get home so I took the exit and we explored a bit. We found out that Dollywood was closed but we found a replica of the Titanic, a Christmas village, and a few cheesy coal mining stores. It was a lot of fun to just explore and not be on a set schedule. 

In Guyan Valley news, we FINALLY finished cleaning our two story shed!! It looks great! I should post pictures when I get them. It has taken us since September to clean out the shed since it's been used for 15 years now and everything has accumulated and became disorganized but it was worth it to see the finished product. We definitely had a lot of staff bonding time getting the shed together which was great, too. 

My birthday was a good day. It was my first birthday away so I was a little nervous but it turned out great. I got a lot of birthday cards in the mail, birthday emails, and birthday facebook posts. My friend Sam also took us out to a hibacci place in Knoxville before Extreme Makeover Home Edition and then our CEO took us out to Waffle House at 12 am when we finished up and we had a cake that Sam made for me. Delicious! 











That's the update for now!
