Zachary: Egg Collector
The first morning he was dying to "go collect the eggs". They have one rooster and about 23 hens and 2/3 mornings we were there he was able to go and get them. What a fun time for him. lol.
Opening the door..
Being the "Egg Collector
We spotted the rooster
This particular morning there was a hen on one of the nests so he only got 3. The next morning he got 9!Walking back.. proud of his collection!
Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!! I know we sure did and I'm so thankful for such a great holiday surrounded by loved ones! :) Zach is already making plans to go back sometime during Christmas break! :) One set of my cousins up there actually own a mountain home in Pigeon Forge so we're trying to plan a trip up there over a long weekend too! Nothing like a free vaca!

Happy Veteran's Day!
... but of course my own personal vet deserves some special recognition too! :) My love, my hubby, my ZACHARY! lol. So proud of you and what you have done - you're amazing babe!!
I love my soldier!
"If you don't stand behind our troops... then feel free to stand in front of them!" - love me that quote! :)
Zach and I spent our day off together... started with a little wake-up back/hand massage for the soldier and then we went to lunch and saw Due Date! :) It will be weird going back to work for just a day, but I'm definitely not complaining!

Game Plan: Party Like a Freshman!
Friday night we checked into the hotel 9:30ish, and we were quite exhausted from a long week at work and a long drive, but we got ourselves ready and headed out at 11 in the freezing cold (literally in the low 40s!) to a bar called Bullwinkle's. We had a few drinks then went to Wal-Mart to make sure we had everything we needed for the game... including a blanket that would come in handy like you wouldn't even believe!
We woke up at 8:30, grabbed some breakfast, showered, and got ready to hit the town. We ended up calling a taxi that drove us to the liquor store then our tailgate area at 11! Our friend has a friend that has an area set up next to the baseball field (he works for the team) with access to their cable and their bathrooms (so nice!). We had tons to drink, great food, couches, flatscreens, lawn golf, and corn hole! What more could you want?! Slowly, but surely, people started arriving and it was starting to look like a garnet and gold game day! :)
Around 3:30 we headed into the stadium to watch the game for a bit, but then we decided we were hungry and left on a long journey to a restaurant/bar called Momo's. Their slogan is "slices as big as your head"... no lie!! We ate our pizza and salad while watching the game and then started our trek back to the tailgate area. We ended up sitting on the grass watching the game on one of the TVs and the wide right loss occurred. No bueno! Soon after everyone that didn't go home to change met back at the tailgate and then we weaved in and out of traffic on foot to head to a bar called Potbellies. We stuck around there drinking and dancing and singing Disney songs until 10 and left to go to a bar called Yianni's. It was 80's for the ladies so we had a fantastic time singing/screaming every lyric to every song! :) Thanks to daylight savings we gained an extra hour to party and made it to last call...
The group walked out and headed to the area where there were taxis and ordered one to take us to Steak n Shake by our hotel... we ate and thennnnn finally made it back into our room where the clock was still reading "4:30"! It was such a long, super fun day with many laughs and smiles!!
Can't wait to do it again soon! GO NOLES!!

The Conclusion: HBP The Morning After!
We woke up and Z had managed to get us EIGHT free breakfast buffets. By 10am there were 4 of us left so we ended up using that deal (Retail value of 16$ a piece... Thanks Z!!) He also got us a nice military discount on the hotel (thanks Z!). He's sure good for something ;) I realized on the way home I had lost my debit card and had to order a new one.. but the night was so worth it! The wedding is just 13 days away now... CAN'T wait!!
