Back to Opryland Hotel

Max and I went back to Opryland Hotel this past sunday night with my parents. They had never been to the hotel at christmas time and enjoyed seeing all the lights. Max and I were excited because we wanted to take a picture by this snowman. This is where we have our first photo together with a group of friends about a year ago. :)

Opryland Hotel

We enjoyed going to the Opryland Hotel last sat. night. :) It was so much fun going back again. It was about a year ago that we went to Opryland and hung out together realizing we both were kinda interested in each other. :) Fun memories!

Shower with my co-workers

The teachers and staff took me to Panera bread for supper. They were so sweet. They had decorated the table and got me a really cool gift. :)

Sabbath Afternoon Nov. 1st

On Sabbath Max and I went for a walk near Percy Priest Lake. The colors aren't quite at their peak yet, but were extremely beautiful. Max enjoyed playing around with a couple filters on the camera. I LOVE the pictures he took. :)

Okay. The way I uploaded my picture they are not in order. Oh well. Here is Carissa coming to the finish line. I did a triathlon this past weekend. I was very excited because one of my goals in life is to do a triathlon. Now I have been part of a team. We did very well. Out of 11 all girls teams we came in 4th. We were very proud and yet a little sad because when we saw the scores we were only 39 seconds from the 3rd place finishers. We could have had a trophy. That's okay, my trophy was the accomplishment. What a fun race.
Laurie finishing strong. :)
The whole group. We had a great cheering squad. The guys were all very supportive of us girls. :)
Yea! Fourth place!!!!!
I got to see Dave and Kristen. Kristen did the running for a mixed relay team. They did a great job too. :)

I'm the one diving in with the long black wetsuit and blue cap. I'm in the middle left.
Max had a great lens and got some good shots. I'm the one in the middle.
I think this photo is so funny. Check out my foot. ????
Yeah! Success!!!! I did the half mile in 14min. 47 sec. I was hoping for under 15min. but I actually thought I would do it in about 17 min. :)

I bought a new dinning room table. I love it. If we get two more chairs it can seat eight people. I'm really excited about fall as well so I got a nice little fall center piece. :)

Check out Bailey riding the waves! :)

Max got to finally go windsurfing this past weekend. It was really windy because of the storms. He is really good. I was very impressed. Bailey and I enjoyed watching.
