I said "YES!!!"
it's official, we're engaged!
it happened friday while we were camping in north carolina. we woke up to an amazing view of the blue ridge mountains. reid started talking about how happy he was that we decided to make this trip, about how we've made it so far in the past four years. then he said, "i have something i want to give you," and got down on down on one knee! he told me he loved me very much and asked if i would marry him...
i said "yes! yes!! yes!!! i thought you would never ask!"
it was perfect.
more photos soon...

souvenier photos
here are just a few of the photos i took while shopping last weekend:
'polariod' from the first south pittsburgh yard sale stop
center square clock
from across the street
great old coca-cola billboard on the side of an original building
the same 'polariod' shot in original form
...can you see why i use the expression 'fog as thick as pea soup' ?
the fog was 'souper' thick (ha!) from knoxville all the way down past chattanooga.
hopefully more fog photos from my blackberry coming soon...

super cute finds
found this pale green and blue wash glaze platter on clearance at target- $4.95
driving back from south pittsburg, i stopped in my favorite store in chattanooga (for almost 10 years!)
they sell an ecelctic mix of tons of cute stationery, handmade jewelry, and gifts in the hip frazier avenue area.
i found this sweet little blue bird for my half bath -$8
my sister found this and this, which i think i'll order for reid's birthday just as fun joke gifts, course.
i want these for my ikea pods hanging in my kitchen.
i probably should have bought them while i was at blue skies...
if you are in the chattanooga area, you must stop here. i promise you won't be disappointed.

tennessee valley fair
Take me to the fair
Take me to the fair, dont know anywhere
I would rather be
Lets, go to the fair
Well walk hand in hand, through tomorrow land
Only you and me
I wanna see everything, do everything
While were doin it all
Ill buy the peanuts and popcorn
Well have us a ball
You can spend my pay
Crush me in the crowds, Ill be in the clouds
Crush me in the crowds, Ill be in the clouds
Honey I dont care
Take me there by sleigh
Go, lets get a bite, anywhere you like
But take me to the fair
Go, lets get a bite, anywhere you like
But take me to the fair
~elvis~
we had a great time at the tn valley fair last month
and yes. those powdered sugar covered, deep fried, gooey fattening things are
fried snickers.
Sunflowers
i just finished reading this book by Debra Mancoff.
i've always loved sunflowers and it was really interesting to learn the history of the gigantic disc florets.
i never really notcied all the sunflowers in the 15th-16th century paintings i studied in art history class.
i definitely recommend it for a better than just for the coffee table book!
