Something to blog about… February 28, 2008

Filed under: Our life — nataliewatson @ 4:27 am

I know it’s the cool thing to do and everyone is doing it but let’s face it – I’m a bad blogger. I can never think of anything to write about and it takes me a long time to do it. But this morning I woke up to a great surprise – SNOW IN KNOXVILLE (yes!) It was great. So I woke up and looked out the window and saw nothing so I hit snooze for another 15 mins – ok really it was like 45 minutes. When I woke up again, the ground was covered and huge flakes were coming down so fast – it was great! So I immediately called my sister Rachael, who is a kindergarten teacher at A.L. Lots, expecting for Knox County to be out today – envisioning lunch together – and no answer. Nope, Rachael is in school with the rest of Knox County. So sad. Come on – it never snows here anymore! So I decided to take some pics at the farm for my mom, for posterity, in case it never snows again.

Here is a sleepy-eyed JR – one of two of the sweetest barn cats ever. The other is of the barn in the snow and Pony, who my mom thinks looks just ’so cute’ in his blanket.

Great weekend in BE! February 28, 2008

Last weekend I had blast in Banner Elk, NC with some of my favorite girls – (L to R) Tyler, Lindsey, me, Michelle, Emily, Erin, Ashley, Jenna and my new friend Meg – love you guys!! We spent the whole weekend talking about one of our favorite topics – pregnancy. No, I am not pregnant but Emily and Ashley are (YAY!) – and Erin, our resident expert on the subject, informed the girls (and the rest of us) exactly (in detail) everything they need to know. These girls are hilarious! We also took turns reading aloud from a book by Jenny McCarthy called Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth. So funny. But that’s not all we did…. We also had a shower for our friend Jenna who is getting married this spring! I am so excited about photographing this wedding b/c Jenna is a beautiful person inside and out and I can’t wait to tell the story of their wedding day. The story of his proposal – soo sweet. And the venue looks absolutely gorgeous! Check out their website – this place is not too far away for Knoxville brides who are looking to get out of town a bit. It’s called The Farm in Candler, NC. – Great girls, great weekend -
