I didn't realize you had not met Ariana before!

Wish I could have sent a Flat Nini so she could be in your pictures!

I love all of you girls in your glasses...very chic!

And what fun you had at Mo's. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. I wish I had known a little sooner before I had made plans as I sure would have loved being there. I can see how well you hit it off with Stevie and the girls. And love the picture of you and Mo. :)

I loved your updates on FB of your mega meet in Knoxville today.
 
Good morning everyone!

Yesterday was amazing!

Josh and I started off with a wrong turn... Eventually we figured it out, but we went 5 miles out of the way first. Which made us about 10 minutes late.

Josh and I walked into The Cheesecake Factory, and everyone was there waiting for us... Squeals and hugs all around! I was so excited to see everyone!

We were seated almost immediately... Josh was such a good sport, seated in the middle of all these women. Lol

We all chatted and ordered. Oopsi brought gifts... Cute Disney post cards for all of us... I didn't get pictures. Mine are Donald themed, Ariana's were Pluto themed, and I don't remember what Liddy's were???

I know Oopsi took food porn pictures... But I was slacking. I'd ordered salmon with asparagus... It was very good, but not as good as fil's the night before. I just had to splurge on a piece of cheesecake though... The waitress chose turtle flavor for me. And boy was it yummy! However, I didn't take a picture until after I'd had a bite or two... :whistle:

After a fun lunch, we decided to hit The Disney Store... As usual, I couldn't find anything I wanted... Connie did find a little something though, I think she was the only one to make a purchase. Josh was kind enough to be our official photographer...

Then we wandered the mall, losing Josh frequently... So we were relegated to taking selfies...

Eventually, we found Josh again (and lost him... Then we found him... Etc...) - he thought we should all cram into a photo booth... So we did. ::yes::

Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye. :( I just love my Dis friends, and I hate saying goodbye to them. Staying with Mo and doing this Dismeet, was definitely a highlight of our trip. Josh and I are even talking about coming back next summer, with the girls and mm.

One last picture...

20140317_145508.jpg

So happy I was able to meet you all... Many hugs!

After our Dismeet, we went back to the house... I messed around on Fb for a while, then I took a nap.

Josh's dad took us out for dinner at Calhoun's... It was soooo delicious! I had a smoked chicken dish with a side of broccoli and cinnamon apples. Josh ordered a slice of Jack Daniels pecan pie... Which I took a few bites of.... WOW!!!! Mmmm, it was divine!

Looking at the above photo, I am beginning to wonder if I don't fit in with my in-laws better than I thought... We are a bit fun and eccentric. Lol

Today, Josh and I are taking the Turbo Bug on a drive... We are going to do a short trip into the mountains, and we are also hoping to see some historic places. There is a really cool looking historical home tour that I would adore going on, but they are all closed Monday/Tuesdays, and we leave tomorrow. Fil said we must plan another trip next summer, and we will make it into a Civil War tour... I've always been fascinated with that time period. We will see... It would be fun.

Anyways... I hope you all have a wonderful day... Prayers and pixie dust to all!

Yesterday was a lot of fun, I'm so glad I could get off of work to drive up and meet everyone!

Jim was shocked I went to a mall for several hours and didn't buy anything at all. :rotfl:
 
Mo's kids are adorable and Stevie looks so squishy.

He is squishy!!! and a PITA... oh his antics...

And what fun you had at Mo's. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. I wish I had known a little sooner before I had made plans as I sure would have loved being there. I can see how well you hit it off with Stevie and the girls. And love the picture of you and Mo. :)

One of these days!!!! I will be taking a day off on their spring break to go to Brookfield!!!
That is my morning i have not had enough coffee look... But thanks.. :thumbsup2
 
Yesterday was such a blast!!! Hope you and Josh have a great time touring our beautiful Smoky Mountains today! :goodvibes
 
I'm so glad you posted pics here on the DIS!!! It looks like you had so much fun! And Mo, you look just fine, silly!

The TN DIS meet looks like so much fun. I wasn't sure who was who except for Ariana. But how fun and how flattering to have people willing to travel 3 hours to spend time with you! Josh looks like he tolerated sitting with the ladies quite well. Might I even suggest he enjoyed it??:rotfl:

Also loved the glasses V picked out. Very stylish and flattering! And she'll see so much better…bonus!

Hope you enjoyed your outing today. It IS beautiful in Tennessee!
 
Thanks for sharing pictures of your dis meets. it's nice to be able to put names to faces. Your in-laws look like they were having a lot of fun at dinner. Have a safe trip home.

Yesterday was a fun day, Josh and I went on an auto tour of the Smoky Mountains and through Cade's Cove... It was a very nice and relaxing day.

I will share just a few photos from our trip.

We were gone most of the day, it was so beautiful!

This morning, we begin our drive home, Josh's dad will be riding back with us. We will be staying in St. Louis with Josh's uncle tonight, then do the last leg of the trip tomorrow. I am sure I will be doing live updates on Facebook out of sheer boredom. ;)

I hope all of you are doing well... Sending hugs and prayers to all.

looks amazing!!! I hear the smoky mountains are to die for. love that picture of the water mill..

you and josh are adorable!!! enjoy your ride home... :duck: I wish you safe travels!!!! :hug:
 
LOVE that area...

I used to go to Gatlinburg when I was a teenager...now it is too commercial...I prefer Pigeon Forge. (I know, it is commercial too!)

Glad you had a fun day...and hope you have a great uneventful trip home! (I want to see FB updates!)

Good morning everyone... Today is the last leg of our trip. And it's probably for the best, for those of you who didn't see this on my fb page last night... Alli left me a note...

Screenshot_2014-03-20-06-01-1_edit_1395313340589.png

It cracked me up so bad, I had tears streaming down my face. Needless to say, they miss us. :thumbnails

We slept at Josh's aunt and uncle's house near St. Louis last night. We plan to leave for home early this morning.

Yesterday was a fun trip. It was a bit different having Josh's dad with us, but it turned out to be fun... We stopped at every Harley dealership between Nashville and St. Louis. ::yes:: Josh's family really loves their Harleys, and we are kind of the odd ones out, because we don't have one. Sigh.

So, I started off yesterday in the back seat...

Then a few shots from the road.

Nashville

Then somewhere in Illinois...

Josh and his dad... If you are wondering about Grandpa's thumb nail painted red, that is actually because off Alli... She sent him a link to promise no distracted driving (texting, talking on the phone...) The reminder is to paint your thumb nail red. So, grandpa has had a red thumbnail for months. :thumbsup2

20140319_125727.jpg

And out of the bazillion Harleys I saw yesterday... This is the one I really liked a lot...

20140319_162829.jpg

And finally... What post would be complete with out a bathroom selfie shot of me... Taken a Buffalo Wild Wings (if you are wondering, it was not the most Primal friendly eating establishment i've encountered on this trip)...

20140319_18362_edit_1395315151593.jpg

And that all I have for you all today.

We are looking forward to being home... We have an incredibly busy weekend coming up. Victoria starts her gun safety course tomorrow. Josh has his HUGE Pheasants Forever banquet on Saturday, which he has been coordinating all year, and we all volunteer for it, it's lots of fun.

Thanks to those of you who are following us on this adventure, it's been a lot of fun sharing it with you. I hope all of you are doing well, hugs and prayers to all! :grouphug:

I was laughing so hard last night when I read that note! Brilliant! :rotfl:

I enjoyed following along with your road trip, thanks for sharing. :thumbsup2
 
My beatutiful Nashville!!! I really do love living here! :goodvibes

The note from the girls was too. funny. :rotfl2: :lmao: Your girls have the most wonderful sense of humor! ::yes::

Thank you so much for giving us the little mini-tr's, D~! I hope this road trip was just as wonderful as you had always dreamed! pixiedust:
 
Love the note from your girls:lmao: so funny! What a great adventure you've been on, but I bet you're ready to be out of the car!

Hopefully you've made it home safe by now!
