Cloudland Canyon

Pablo & I got up at 7:00 and headed out to Rising Fawn, GA to hike Cloudland Canyon State Park. It was a 2 hour car ride up through Lafayette, Dade, Villanow, Jackson.. (many other towns I have never heard of) then finally we arrived at Cloudland Canyon. We checked out the Visitor's Center & got our park map & headed to the parking area for the trail we picked. We were so excited to get out and start our excursion! We met a nice man that gave us some tips on which trail to take and other hiking pointers then we were off to our hike!
This is a view from one of the 1,200 stairs we had to use :) it took my breath away as I saw it through the trees.. Just beautiful!


We went to 2 waterfalls which we were there. Neither had tons of water flowing down but it will still beautiful and peaceful.
This first waterfall.


The lagoon at the bottom of the falls. There were some small fish swimming around in here.


After this we went down the 600 stairs to the 2nd falls.
Once again not a lot of water flowing but still gorgeous!


The reflection of the water was sparkling on the trees and rocks around. It was very peaceful to just sit and listen. We continued on a connected trail for about a mile then decided to turn around since we had 600 stairs to go back up to get to the car & to complete out 1,200 stairs of the day! :) once we finally made it back up all 600 stairs we saw another path to a beautiful overlook of the canyon. Once again it was beautiful!!
I can't wait to plan our next hike! I'm sure my legs will think differently in the morning! :)
but for now we are focusing on our beach trip/honeymoon!!
*** 7 days!! ***

My computer has been attacked by a horrible virus!! It has even tricked my virus/security "protection" because it doesn't find a problem! So I have been computer-less for about 2 weeks now. I hope my sister-in-law can find a way to fix it nothin has worked so far!
But in better news!! Were going to the beach in 8 days! I am so excited and so is Pablo! I think it's going to be great for both of us to get away for a little while and relax!!
Something else exciting we are going to begin is hiking! After finding some places to go and spending a good chunk of money on the "equipment" we are ready!! Can't wait to visit Cloudland Canyon tomorrow with my wonderful husband!!

Wedding bells ring again

Today was one of my good friends weddings! She is the final X-Lacey's lady to get hitched!! :) I am so happy for her and her husband! They are so adorable together! Weddings have always been so exciting and fun to me but they are so different now that I am married! It seems like they have so much more meaning to me and make me more emotional! I guess because I remember how I felt on my wedding day!? Not really sure... What a extremely special time for a couple! You get to spend a day with all your friends, family and of course your new husband... AND You get extra bling on your finger! :) and my most favorite part.. I get to see "bling" on my husband's finger! Weddings are wonderful! I'm pretty pumped to get to experience another couple take the plunge next weekend!! ;) Happy wedding day Stayce & David!!! I'm so happy for you both, best wishes to many years of happiness!!

Recap of the past month

Well I haven't posted in a while but there has been a lot of fun happening! I went to Zoo Atlanta with my in-laws which was tons of fun! I love this picture because Isabel looks terrified even though she really was happy. It just cracks me up!
We sat and watched the gorillas for a while.. it had A/C! :) But they are so awesome to watch. The one animal we HAD to see while I was at the Zoo was the Panda Bears!!! And I'm so glad we stood in line and waited because they are adorable! Unfortunately the little baby panda was hiding behind his mommy playing so I didn't get a picture of him! I did get some cute ones of this lady though!! Isn't she just beautiful!
We went out for a night of fun a couple of weekends ago! I love spending time with great friends!

I love Kristen! We always have such a great time together when we hangout!! Doesn't she look awesome?! She had a baby 2 months ago!!
Great friends!!Landon got tickets to the Braves game against the Phillies on Sunday of Opening Weekend! It was so fun to be at the Braves game! I love going to sporting events! And it's even better when I can get a little sun while watching! I liked our seats because we could see the whole field and they were in a section all to itself, so we had lots of room! Thanks Landon!

Pablo & me at the game! LET'S GO BRAVOS!!! My mom got free tickets to the World of Coca-Cola! So my parents, my brother and I went to visit! It was fun, I love learning about history of things like that. Especially since Coca-Cola is an Atlanta based company! Here are just a few pictures from that trip!
Mom & me ready for the 4D Theater!

The decorated bottles are so cool. This was my favorite!

Lastly a picture of my crazy brother and me. I can't believe he is taller than me! Woah.. where does time go?! He will be in HIGH SCHOOL next year!!

The next event this month was my friend Jessica's Bachelorette Party. Which was a blast! We started out the night at her future sister-in-law's house for a lingerie party and some pre-gaming! Then headed to La Parilla for dinner and drinks, then next stop... Cledus T's in Cartersville. I was a little skeptical about going there but it turned out to be a great time! Corbette Jackson was there playing , he is really good!

Jessica and me at Emily's house before the night began!Shots at La Parilla!!
Jessica was all decked out for her Bach party & for Cledus T's

Jessica and Corbette Jackson

Most of the girls with the Bachelorette! And the LAST event of this month.. EASTER SUNDAY!!! What a great Easter it was! My family and Pablo's family all went to my grandparent's house for lunch! It was awesome and I think we are going start that as a tradition! Can't wait for next year!! We took some family pictures which was great! Also Gabriel is getting SO big! I can't believe how tall he is now!

My Brother, me and our grandparents! I LOVE them!
My family! :) The husband & me on our 1st Easter as a married couple!
The Sierra's (minus Alexis & Kristen)

How adorable is he?! I love his sweet bald head!

Gabriel is SOOOO big! :)
My little friend!

Cooking for 2 or 10?!

I have realized I can't cook for just Pablo and I. I always cook WAYYY too much food. I hate it because I end up tossing most of the left overs! And I hate wasting food (& money).
Anyways- I have a new favorite kitchen gadget. I'm sure most of you have this wonderful item but I just got him and I love it. It's a slicer it can also "Juliene" food too. I'm in love.





It's genius and doesn't take up much space in my tiny kitchen- which is fabulous!! Well off to make dinner -pork chops & potatoes! Yumm!

Whirl Wind Week

YAY that week is over!! :) I was the only technician Monday through Wednesday, which might not seem like a big deal but it was kinda crazy at times! I survived yay! I have a fun filled weekend ahead of me too! Tomorrow I am going to the Zoo with my MIL! I can't wait, I'm such a child! I have not been to the Zoo in a while and I love animals! I will be sure to take pictures and post them! Also on Sunday we have a friend that got us tickets to the Braves game!! GO BRAVES!!! I love going to sporting events! I hope we can go to lots of Braves games this year! Something else exciting going on in our life-we booked our "honeymoon"!!!! We decided to not take a honeymoon right after we got married, mainly because Pablo did not have the time to take off and financially it was just a better idea! Well we are going to Destin, Fla in June and I am SO excited! I LOVE the beach!!! I need April to get out of the way and May to fly by so I can be at the beach with my wonderful husband!! It's going to be great! I must get back to the craft table. My MIL wiped me out of my recent "goods" so I have to replenish!!
