Such a hard night..

I won't be seeing this beautiful handsome face for FOUR WEEKS!!

Talked to Chad the whole way to work thinking everything was still the same with his work situation. I couldn't wait to see him when I got off work! Then when I get off I check my phone and have a million texts  from him and call him right away and he's already on a bus to Atlanta for work, completely not what I was expecting. First time I've cried about this whole situation and I don't like it.. But I know he is doing this for our future and I'm so proud of him. He really is the most amazing man and I don't know what I did to get so lucky. Four weeks is going to seem like forever, but I know everything will be okay and work out in the end.

I love you CCH, forever, always and a day!

Pumpkins, Apples & Friends

Sunday morning Chad had to go to work for a few hours but when he was done we were off to Ellijay with David. We stopped in Chatsworth for a fancy lunch.. Wendy's drive thru :) Then we were on to the curvy mountain roads.. There was so much traffic, I think everyone and their brother went to Ellijay the same day. I was sad because there were rescue dogs for adoption in downtown Ellijay, but Chad thinks I'm crazy and wouldn't stop haha. Our first stop was Burt's Pumpkin farm which was PACKED.. it took awhile because we didn't have good cell phone service, but we finally found Whitney and Jacob and took a few pictures and left.

Then we went to Amnicola Falls, soooo GORGEOUS! I hadn't been there since the last time Chad and I went with my parents in 2003. We spent awhile there taking tons of pictures and just walking on the trails.

After Amnicola Falls we wanted to go to an Apple Orchard but they were all already closed, but we found one that the store was still open so we stopped and got apple pies, apple sticks and apple cider donuts!

After that we were all starving and went back towards the city and ate Ruby Tuesdays.. We stayed there for hours it seemed like talking until they were closing.. It was such a good day with some of my favorite people! It was so good to see Whit! 

Blessed!

What an UH-MAY-ZING weekend! Friday I got off work at 1 and went straight home to finish packing and then Chad and I were on the road! Stopped in Chattanooga to eat at one of our favorite places (Glen Gene's) and then we were on our way to Gatlinburg. When we got there we checked into our room and walked to all the shops and looked in EVERY single one of them. We had so much fun laughing at all the silly tshirts and people watching. We stayed in all the stores until they were closed and so were all the restaurants.. so we had to go back to the hotel and get the Jeep and went to McDonalds for midnight dinner. When we got back to our room we changed into pj's and Chad lit the fire and we laid on the couch watching Chelsea Lately until we got sleepy.. The we brushed our teeth and went to bed..

Saturday morning we woke up early and got ready then went to breakfast at Flapjacks Pancake Cabin in Pigeon Forge.. French toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, grits, sweet tea and sprite in mason jars.. Perfect breakfast! Then, it was way colder than I thought and hadn't packed any jackets besides a blue jean jacket so we stopped by the outlet mall in Pigeon Forge and Chad bought me a leopard fleece jacket from Old Navy and he got a UT hoodie :) Then we stopped by a boot store that was buy 1 get 2 pairs free, INSANE! Chad got 3 pair of amazing boots! Then we headed back to Gatlinburg and went in a few of the stores we had missed the night before.. And had icecream, chocolate covered pretzels (with sprinkles!) and a chocolate covered rice crispy.. Sooo good! Then when we thought we had run out of stores to look in we rode around for a little while and started to head home. We had such a great weekend.. I don't think we've laughed that much in a long time. It was amazing to spend the whole weekend away with each other.
