A few more pictures from last weekend in the mountains...

Me and Baby Bear saying our goodbyes by the fire...



Our babies at Hillcrest Apple Orchard!


My kitten just purred, cuddled up against me and went to sleep...



While Matt's kitten wanted to PLAY!



There were tons of baby goats this year and I just loved them all!




They would find a little sunny spot and fall asleep standing up...



And the cow just wanted to chill in the sun while you scratched his ears...



A puppy! There were two little puppies! They were so funny just running around in the middle of all the goats!



Dear Sheep: Please stop stealing all the food from me...You can't POSSIBLY still be hungry!


So that was Sunday! Visiting our animals and then driving home!
Time to go back yet??

Hello from our fabulous Crockett Mountain cabin in beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia!!

We left Augusta yesterday about noon, stopped in Atlanta for lunch at Mimi's Cafe and dessert to-go from The Cheesecake Factory and arrived here just before dark...Just in time to hit up the hot tub and settle in for a movie in front of the fire!

Last year we decided we would take the 4 hour trip on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway this year when we came back with my parents, but since they couldn't come this weekend we decided to wait til next time and took our own little day trip instead! We followed a self-guided scenic driving tour that was highlighted with a 4-mile extremely bumpy drive up/down/all-around a rocky mountain road that led to a 270 foot swinging bridge over the Toccoa River!

...and below!



Tomorrow we'll be going to pick some apples, load up on apple fritters and visit our favorite mountain animals at Hillcrest Orchard!

Then, unfortunately, we'll be heading back home...But the fact that another cabin very similar to ours right down the road is listed at only $450k is quite enticing...Anybody wanna go halvsies with us??

This past weekend:

I had a great newborn photoshoot with this sweet little girl



I watched a tiny bit of the Georgia/Vanderbilt game (while editing pictures!)

We scouted out a new photo location at the waterfall near the canal in the cold rain (with my parents in tow!)

We enjoyed dinner at Wild Wings (which is becoming a weekly occurance!) and watched the second half of the Florida/Arkansas game.

I edited some more pictures.

We missed church (and free food!) due to some very terrible unexplained back pain during the night.

I had another great photoshoot (an engagement session with a fun couple!)

I think I edited some more pictures.

And I learned more than ever needed to know in great detail about the first 24 hours after JFK was shot!


Now we've made it through Monday and are looking forward to Friday when we head to the mountains for the weekend! Oh my gosh we're SOOOO excited! Can't wait!

So my first week at my new job went well last week! I really had an enjoyable time! (And carpooling and lunching with my hubby can't be beat either!)

The weekend was pretty laid back...A couple photoshoots with college football, a family get-together and church thrown in the mix!

Nothing really exciting going on except the fact that the weather is finally changing!! Is fall really here this time?? I'm just dying to put some pumpkins on the porch and kick off fall with the ASU Alumni Barbecue this Friday night! (And to think Matt was thinking we could skip this year!! I'll chalk it up to temporary insanity! I mean seriously, it's like a huge fall tradition for me! We've gone every year since we started dating! It's always a perfect evening when the weather cooperates! - Hey! Maybe I'll even take some pictures this year and do a scrapbook page about it!)

Wow...That was quite a tangent! Now off to see if PhotoBucket is feeling cooperative tonight so I can post some sneak peaks on my photography blog from my shoot with the White family!
