Drive on the Parkway....

I'm playing catch up on my blog. I know! I'm really far behind. Life has taken me in many different directions. You never know what the world will throw at you or where God will take you next. I have been very busy and I promise I have lots of pictures to prove it! We will start with the day of riding on the parkway. Not long after our Anniversary, John and I took a ride up the parkway to enjoy the fall colors. It was nice because it was relaxing and it was on my list!

Here are some pics we stopped and took at the Peaks of Otter and along the parkway....



















It turned out to be a beautiful ride even though the weather wasn't the best. I am glad we got to do it!

Garden shots from Virginia...

I have really been enjoying the flowers in my garden these are some pictures that I've taken recently. I have been playing with the settings some more. Enjoy!














Fall Festivities

We had some friends over a few weeks ago for a bonfire in the fire pit. We roasted brats and marshmallows. We are really enjoying having the fire pit! We are still working on permanent seating though.

Wedding Bells

John and I took a trip back to Tennessee last a while back to attend a wedding of one of our great friends, Jonathan. It was raining, but was still a beautiful ceremony and stopped raining in time to have fun at the reception.

Dinner Club

John and I recently joined a group of young married couples for a fun monthly Dinner Club event. I of course took pictures of all the fun food!









Fire Fighter training

I know it's been a while, but I've had a lot going on. So I consequently have a lot of updates!

John gets to do a lot of training for firefighting. One thing he got to do recently was train how to help the Rescue Squad if there was ever a need to load someone in the LifeGuard helicopter to be air lifted to the hospital. I got to tag a long and take some great shots. It was fun to learn about how it all works. Especially since there is a new show on tv about Ambulance drivers and Medical helicopters. It was really neat to see.
