Kuntz 3 year Anniversary <3


Wow, does time sure slip by! I can't believe it! Some times it feels like I don't remember life before Dave was a part of it, but other times, I feel like it was just yesterday when I we pulled up to our first date and the flutters of nervousness that filled my tummy seem so vivid! I'm happy, real HaPpY!

 

 

 

Day 5) My better half was anxious to start the day, so we got up and ate some delicious breakfast by 8:30am outside on the deck. Beautiful morning! Got ourselves all ready and set out for a really sweet golf green that he has been anxiously awaiting to play on! The weather was perfect!! I had such a great time taking pictures of my good lookin' guy and driving the golf cart around ( : We decided an afternoon treat at Marble Slab Creamery was in order and boy was it worth the wait! YUMM!! Came back to the hotel to relax some, then got super cute for our anniversary date! I was surprised with a beautiful double heart ring before we left. It's so pretty! Mellow Mushroom was our pick for dinner. They had some stellar gourmet pizza! Wheat crust, half buffalo chicken and half house pizza. Yea, buddie!

Day 6) Our last day in Pigeon Forge has arrived. : ( We packed up our things and set out to Cade's Cove. It was a long scenic loop of a drive with beautiful stop points to check out the nature! I told Dave that I really wanted to see a black bear, and we DID see a baby one! First live bear I've seen! That was pretty cool! Took some neat photo's on the drive! Then it was time to head home. 

 We've arrived back to "normal" life! Now it's off to the weekend and the fun events it holds!








Kuntz Vacation 2o12, you were wonderful! <3

2o12 Respite

Ahhh. . . Finally, it is time to get away, rest, rejuvenate and get a fresh mindset! I've been waiting for what seems like forever for this time away with my husband! I'm so thankful for its arrival and I am thoroughly enjoying my time!


Day 1) We arrived on Sunday evening-found our hotel then set out to see what all we could find! We decided we didn't want to eat at any "normal" restaurant and only try new, local joints on this trip! That was pretty much it for that night.


Day 2) What better way to start a Monday than to start in at 9:20am! Sooo glorious! Had some delicious breakfast, got ourselves ready, then we set out for the aquarium of the smoky's! That was some fun stuff! We took some really rad photo's that I'll be sure to share! After that adventure, we took to the streets of Gatlinburg to see what all we could find! We settled down for some Bennet's BBQ for an early dinner, and boy, was that a treat! It was then time for some relaxing in the indoor pool and hot tub! *sigh* That gave us the energy to get out to try out a pretty sweet putt-putt place! We wrapped up the evening with a movie and lounging! Could it get any better for a Monday!?!? I think not!

Day 3) Tuesday, my husbands birthday! We kept up with "sleeping in" then we got some fuel for the day and got all prettied up and set out to do some shopping since the skies were grey and somewhat angry! We received some showers, but that didn't darken the mood around here! We took it easy, did some more driving around, seeing all we could see and enjoying our time together, just being...together ( : I enjoyed Starbucks 1/2 off Frapps! We had a light, late lunch then came back to the hotel and decided to soak up the sun that came out! We sat out by the pool and rested in the rays. It was time to head back out to see what we could get ourselves into that night! We had so much fun putt-putting, we decided to do it again! Then we went and saw a late night movie at 10:30pm at an outdoor mall, that was so fun!!

Day 4) Now that we're in full swing of sleeping in *cough cough, 10:30am!* By the time we got all ready it was lunch time! Just the way I like it, >smiles< Some grey skies again this morning. We did some more exploring, resting, enjoying, laughing! Taking some fantastic photos! Tried out a cute Mexican place, No Way Jose & then watched the Avengers! 

Good night for now, more to come!

New year. . . New thoughts. . .

I haven't done too well at keeping up on here, that's for sure! Well, 2012 is hear and in full swing! I started it out with a bang of being in bed with the flu before midnight of January 1st even arrived. The first week of the new year was a tough one for me, especially when I had created expectations of some fantastic entry into a fresh beginning. Emotions were running high, expectations weren't being met, and it seemed like one thing was happening after another. Thankfully, that's not the end of the story, because God is faithful and was not far. He was there with me, the silent strength, just waiting for me to call out to Him. Thank you God for being ALL I need! 


Life has gone back to "normal" as far as routine. Back at work, back on schedule, back to my goals for this year. With God's strength I know I can make this the year a success! I'm tired of making excuses and choosing laziness over success. I want to be the best version of me that I can be. True happiness really does come from the inside and works it's way out so you can share it with others. 


::Goals for 2012::
1. Reach my goal weight
2. Send a thoughtful card (1 a week) to a friend this year
3. Work on becoming a person who brings out the best in others, not critiquing or talking negative.
4. Entertain my talents & hobbies. Make time to do them.


This will be a year of a lot of change! Some changes will be hard to learn how to accept and others will be very exciting! I am looking forward to what God has in store for my life! Thank you friends for being loving, supportive and encouraging! I truly appreciate you!
