See that cute photo over there?

 

That's myself and my husband last fall right here in the Smoky Mountains. We were here from TX house hunting and I wanted Christmas photos/maternity photos done. Yep, I was about 7 months pregnant with our son (who we didn't know was a boy because we waited until he was born to find out!)

 

We moved a month after the birth, early April. I had lived in Texas my entire life but my grandpa grew up here so I was no stranger to Pigeon Forge - Gatlinburg - Cades Cove. 

 

I LOVE it here!!! You know in Texas we have Summer, Hotter Summer, Winter, and Summer again. I am so excited to have 4 different seasons!!

 

Besides our little boy we have 3 fur babies. All boxers. We found a great church in Maryville that we LOVE and are settling in quite nicely as Tennessee folk.
