The Smokey Mountains

As many of you have read, my husband Brendan took me on a surprise trip for my birthday about 2 weeks ago. And because I have been slacking, they are just NOW being blogged...tsk tsk, I know.

Anyways, despite it being pretty cold at night (roughly 40 degrees and humid, so feels even colder), we camped. It wasn't too bad, but Ty (our 11 month old pup) was quite cold. He has never been out of Florida, so he wasn't used to feeling that coldness.

We grew up in Upstate NY so the cold is something we are used to, but sleeping outside in it was a different story. Overall though, it was beautiful to be up there and see all the wonderful colors.

Of course, here are some photos :)

Me and the pup


beautiful creeks up there

Love this picture of him!





It was a potty break so he needed to let some energy out



Hubby and Ty



Cute family photo. I just had this one printed :)




We couldnt believe Ty was climbing because he's a little on the timid side, but he did GREAT!

sorry guys

Sorry I have been a little behind guys. Monday was my birthday....can you guess my age? It's not hard since I think my birth year is posted somewhere....lol

anyways, last tuesday when I got home, my husband was here...which is strange since he normally doesnt get home til around 6 after work and the gym...so i wondered.

He told me we weren't what we were originally supposed to do that weekend because we were leaving for the Smokies (tennessee side) the following morning!!! So that was a very cool surprise!

So we packed and left and I obviously didnt have much time to blog about it beforehand, but I do have lots and lots of photos to post later today or tomorrow. I am finishing a shoot from last week as well...so those will be up around the same time :)

Can't wait for you to see them all

and thanks to those who left me birthday wishes on myspace/facebook etc...

Thanks to my Hubby!

My husband took some photos of me out in our backyard. I am designing a new site that should be here in the next week or two and I needed some new photos of myself as well as for here and just haven't had the time for anyone else to do them so he offered :) Basically though, as he would love to have taken credit for, i set it up...he just pushed the button and made me smile :)

Thanks Brendan, I love you all the same :)
