:: I feel the need...
...for pictures!! I really like having pics on my blog, so seeings how I haven't really taken any for the past 3 months, I've gone back to some that I actually meant to post anyways...
Remember the post "The Element gets Accessorized"? (dukefarm.blogspot.com/2004/12/element-gets-accessorized.html)...well, in there I said I'd post pics of us installing the roof rack...well, I never did...so here goes...
Here's Matty hard at work...I tried to lend a helping hand until........
....ouch!!!!!!! I pinched the hooey out of my finger with some freakin' needle nosed pliers! Ayamamasita!!! Half of my finger was blue by the end of the evening! HA!
This is a bit random, but since we're upon good hiking weather, I thought I'd share these pics from last summer. Matt, Amy, Russ, and I went on an awesome hike on Wesser trail in NC. I posted this entry on trailjournals.com about our experience...
Destination: Wesser Tower
Starting Location: Wesser Creek Road Parking Area
Trip Miles: 9.00
Wow! What a great hike! Everything was awesome except the fact that I wore Chacos like an idiot! Had the worst blisters from that moronic decision! Ha! It didn't get bad until about .25 mile from the end...then one popped and wowsa! Did that ever hurt! Ugh!
Anyways, the trail was good...it's about a 3.5 mile hike to where Wesser intersects the AT...we hung out and rested there at the shelter and read the journal entries which inspired us even more to tackle the AT eventually. After our rest, we headed on up 1.5 miles more to the firetower. It was a pretty hazy day, so our view wasn't near as spectacular as it could've been...but it was GORGEOUS!
We headed back down the mountain, and Amy and I both took a spill...hers was way better than mine...she actually fell off the trail into the woods! Awesome! Haha! Oh, and Russ tried a shortcut and nearly uprooted a tree with his bare hands! Probably one of the funniest looking things I've ever seen...it ranks pretty high up there! Thanks for that visual, Russ-T! It will forever be with me! Haha! I had a little slip, but it morphed into the equivalent of sledding without the sled...haha! And Matt never busted it at all...must've been those Adidas Trail shoes! Haha!
END OF ENTRY
So needless to say, we had a blast...here are the pics to prove it...
All cleaned up and ready for breakfast the next morning...yuuuum! NOC has the most ROCKIN' breakfasts!! (www.noc.com/ld-nanty.htm)
Thanks to Mike + Ramelle (the best aunt and uncle on the planet!) for hookin' us up with a campsite for the weekend! We had a blast! Stay at Turkey Creek Campground in Almond if you are ever up in the Nantahala area!!(www.turkeycreekcampground.com)
Russ and Amy had a little visitor on their tent the next morning...haha!

Obviously, NOT back into the groove! HA!
Hollaaaa!! Wowser! Over 3 months since I've posted!! Pretty pathetic!!
Where the heck should I start...hmmmmm...
I've even gotten slack with my picture taking...no pictures since Christmas either...I don't know what is wrong with me! Haha!
We've been extremely busy, but that is no excuse...haha!
Matt is officially interim manager at the G'ville Mall Chick-fil-A as of January. We are anxious to know what lies ahead for us after this stint. He'll be there until July 13ish. After that, we're not sure what will happen.
Neither of us escaped what seemed like the flu this season (but our flu tests came back negative). I was out for 4 days from work and Matt was out a solid week! Praise the Lord for good jobs and awesome bosses! Haha! This was around sometime in February. Oh yeah, how could I forget...mine started on Valentine's Day, so I was in the bed that night with a fever and chills...awful. Ha! Since then, we've had colds and junk...and I even got a weird stomach virus a few weeks ago that conveniently robbed me of my weekend...ugh! Ha! We went camping in the Element that Friday night, and by 4am the next morning, were on our way home with my sickly self. We didn't make it though...had to make a pit-stop on the side of the road so I could, well, rid myself of my Quesadilla Verdey from Monterrey's. YUK! Sorry, you probably wouldn't been better off not knowing such details, huh? Haha!
Speaking of camping, we tried our Element out again this past Thursday night up at Paris Mountain! It was SO much fun! It's nice (for just one-nighters) not to have to set up a tent and all that maddness. And spur of the moment trips will be much easier. It was nice to spend some quality time together and just get away for a bit.
Fuzzy Bison biz is in full effect. This time of year seems to get pretty busy. Next week will be rediculous...deadlines at Upward and with Fuzzy...so it will be interesting.
We've started at the gym since I wrote last. I'm beginning to get rid of me flabby arms and legs...haha...it's nice to actually see a difference. I can't really see a difference on the scale yet, but supposedly that's because I'm gaining muscle. Or it could be because I've gotten hooked on going to the coffee shop EVERY morning and getting a tall dark roast with irish cream SYRUP and CREAM...hmmmm...yeah, that could possibly be the culprit. Or my "every now and then" Mexican Mocha. MAN, those things ROCK! Here's a little plug for Carolina Coffee Roasters...the best dang coffee you ever did taste!! You Greenvillians, it's over on the parkway in Thornblade Commons...try it...you'll get hooked! HAHA!
Welp, I've got quite a day today, so I had better get busy! Matt is getting off at 11:00 and we are heading up to Hendersonville (or wherever), to just chill and hang out. It's hard for us during the week to spend quality time since I'm usually working at night and so is he...and he's having to close most nights now, so that stinks. But days like this are great...and makes us not take our time together for granted!
Have a HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
