Home Sweet Home

Well, we're home. The trip was great and we got to do a ton of stuff. We ended up going on the ziplines and the alpine slide in Ober Gatlinburg. We also hiked, saw bears, mini-golfed, and we made it to the Dixie Stampede. I guess you can say we saw almost ALL of the Smoky Mountains. Oh and we went to Cade's Cove...which is an 11 mile loop of property that was declared historic and still has all the houses from the 1800's still standing. There were bears and deer and turkey and snakes (oh my) every where. Chris was thrilled to see just one bear but we saw 5 that day between the cove and hiking. At one point we were 8 ft from a cub....yeah....it was dangerous but he was just as curious as we were but we really DIDN'T want to meet his mother so we high-tailed it out of there.

The most exciting part of our trip was Wednesday because we got married. We started our day by going to Advanced Auto Parts to use their code machine because my "check engine" light was on. Then we went and bought some ribbon at Wal-Mart and we picked up our wedding cake. Then we just headed back to the cabin. We decorated the porch, ironed, showered and then it was just about time to get married. The reverend came and we got married a little after 6:30pm. It was great because the sun wasn't too bright and it wasn't too too hot. It was perfect. We took a lot of our own pictures with the self-timer on the digital camera and a photographer came with the reverend to take some pictures too. It was a great and memorable day. Now I just just have to remember to use my new last name LANG :) (I just sewed it onto my uniform actually..) Tomorrow we both head back to work and that should be interesting, but we're ready.

*CHEERS TO THE END OF OUR VACATION*
PS. Our tattoos in the last blog are fake ... ever heard of henna?
