Tennessee adventure {Part 1}...

Sorry the Tennessee posts took me so long, promise I didn't leave you all hanging on purpose, things have just been non-stop here...but here goes!

We left Tuesday (May 17th) night, that way we would have a few days the week before all the craziness began to hang with fam, relax, put up posters, etc. It's a long drive, but not as long as it would have seemed if we would have taken our car with no AC...thanks again John! We drove through the night (and when I say we, I mean Dave) and got there Wednesday afternoon...

Pit stop at Panera for breakfast bright and early

Move it or lose it people!

Are we there yet?

After we napped for a bit we got in some quality time with our nephew...I missed him so much! He loves movies and we were staying in his bed this trip, so he just hopped in...

 

The next day we went to Hard Rock in Gatlinburg to put up posters for Dave's show the next week...I had never been to Gatlinburg, it is so pretty up there! Loved it...

Love our new 40th anniversary glasses :)

That night we took Jessica (my 12 year old sister-in-law) to dinner, I can't believe how much she has grown since we were there last, she gets prettier by the day...

Don't they look so much alike?!

On Friday we headed to 106.1 The River for Dave to do an interview with Bruce Patrick. It was a lot of fun and the interview turned out great...

When we went home we hung out with our nephew before heading to Chedders with him and Dave's brother. I'm so glad Hunter likes all the movies we sent him for Christmas and his birthday! It's too fun to watch them with him and try to answer all of his questions about different things...

Jen's Bachelorette Party Pics...

I thought I'd give you guys some fun pics from this weekend to look at while I'm still sorting through all the pics from Tennessee and getting my thoughts together for those posts. To read about what we did for the party see my Steppin' Out post from Sunday...

Steppin' Out Saturday {2}

Steppin Out Bachelorette Party style...

So last night was my besties Bachelorette party! A few other ladies and I put together a fun night out for her...if I do say so myself...and I do :) She opened gifts and we had some snacks at the soon to be sister-in-law's house and then headed in a limo to Drunken Fish in the Power and Light District to have some sushi. Next we hit Howl at the Moon- I had never been there before, but it was a dueling piano bar, too fun. We then headed to Shark Bar for some dancing...

 

Bride-to-be and I :)

 I can't believe her wedding is less than 2 weeks away now! I can't contain my excitement...Hope you all had a fab weekend and I can't wait to blog this week about Tennessee and do my first vlog!

Linking up with Harper's Happenings...

Special Thanks...

Happy Memorial Day! I am so thankful for all the men and women of our armed forces- past, present, and future...it is a tough job that we don't thank them enough for. Make sure to show them your appreciation not only today, but every day...

Special thank you (from me) to my husband for serving our country...I am so proud of you in all that you do...

...other special thanks to people in my family: my dad John, Grandpa Frazier, Dale, and cousin Jenny...and last but definitely not least is Harry Ruzicka, who I went to high school with. Harry is a true inspiration and is a perfect example of what real strength is.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day filled with friends and family!
