-update!

Hello again! I'm sorry I've been MIA for the past week, vacation was a blast and it was a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of my everyday life.


Our vacation started off not so pleasantly on Thursday afternoon when my mom came home to find out that for whatever reason, water was not flowing into our house. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, our house was double struck in the same weekend, lightning on a Saturday and a tree falling on it on Sunday. Needless to say, the combination of those two things have had lasting effects on our home, including but not limited to, the broken water softener led to the broken valve that led to having to replace a few pipes because water would no longer flow through them.

Unfortunately for us, none of that was discovered until this past Tuesday. Thursday we bailed ship and decided that because there was no forseeable end to our water issue, we might as well go on vacation as planned!

We arrived at the lake around 1am EST which is midnight CST! The next morning we hit the lake early, when I say early I'm talking 7am, for some skiing and wake-boarding before the other boats hit the lake. Although it was freezing in comparison to when we went in July, it was amazing to be out on the water and get some more ski time in. Lucky for us, Hurricane Issac gave us a break and skipped that part of the Tennessee valley and blessed us with sunshine.

The next three days were spent skiing, wake-boarding, and swimming in the sunshine. Sunday night was a bit of a rain storm, but after a few days of sunshine, who could complain?!

Monday we explored Mammoth Cave for a bit before heading back home. I was SO excited to be back and more importantly, to be back with my love.


Here are a few outtakes from the trip, what happens when I try to convince my brothers to partake in pictures.
