Surprisingly, living out of suitcases has had it's perks over the past few weeks. Sure it's a little bit of a hassle only having "x" amount of clothes and somewhere along the way I've lost a pair of shoes but otherwise, things are going peachy. And when your personal belongings have been condensed to 2 suitcases, it makes is very easy to pack up and head for a quick trip to well, anywhere we want. That's another perk of our life right now. No job, no plans and no obligations.
So, after just a few days in Scottsboro we packed up our few belongings and headed to Paul's grandparent's house near Memphis. We spent 5 nights there visiting with family, playing dominoes and eating. And when I say eating, I mean stuffing my mouth on a continual basis. Unless I was sleeping of course but even then I was dreaming about the wonderful food that Paul's grandmother can cook. My stomach is growling now.
Anyways...our next stop was all the way across the LONG state of Tennessee to see JoDee Messina perform at the Washington County Fair in Virginia. If you didn't read my last post about it, you should. JoDee is awesome. Before we left town on Sunday we met up with our sweet, newlywed friends Sarah and Sam for lunch then headed on our way to Gatlinburg. For the next 3 nights Paul and I relaxed in our quaint cabin nestled in the trees. We tried our hand at Dollywood in the rain, but that didn't last too long. We decided that soaking in the hot tub on a cool, rainy day was a better option. Paul also took me to a magic show one night, which I've been dying to do! It was so good! We were on the 2nd row and I still couldn't figure out the "magic". And to top it all off, we went to The Melting Pot for dessert. My man sure does know how to make me smile.
After our 10 day journey across and around Tennessee, we headed back to Scottsboro where we unpacked our suitcases again. We're turning into quite the nomads. In the past month, we've slept in 7 different beds in 7 different locations. I think my back misses our old mattress the most but as long as I can cuddle with Paul, it'll be alright. :)
Love and Happiness,
Bethany
