Zach’s Birthday and Tennessee




Happy Birthday to my Sweetie!  He requested doughnuts for his birthday.  

We made a big decision to take steps towards a dream and purchased 69 acres in Tennessee.  Of course we had to visit it so in November, Zach and I flew out to that gorgeous part of the country.  

We spent almost the entire 3 days hiking all over our property.  It has quite the topography and it’s oh-so-beautiful!  

While in Tennessee, Ned was asked to speak in church last minute.  Thanks goodness for YouTube which allowed us to catch his talk.  He’s such an impressive young man!  

Zach couldny resist..he rented a convertible and we pretty much had the top down the entire time.  

Some amazing neighbors offered to take us on a boat ride to view the neighborhood from the lake and drive us around Watt’s Bar Lake.  It was a gorgeous day for a boat ride and we loved seeing our property from the lake.  

Showing off some of the beautiful colors
We found where the Knoxville temple will be built and had to visit it on our way out to our property…this was all there was of it at the time, but I have since heard that they recently broke ground.  
Love this covered bridge-type entrance to our neighborhood.  
We decided to create and bury a time capsule on our property…Book of Mormon style.  It contains a family history book (golden plates) , some old glasses (urim and thymine), and a shovel (sword of Laban).  
Stopped a cool nearby park.


We found this cool stream down in a lower portion of our property.
