November

Jessica is always getting this cool free stuff from work, including tickets to UT games. When she got sky box tickets and wasn't able to go, she offered them to Zach and I. We gladly accepted and got to experience the high life for one game. It was insane! Complete with a workers to push buttons on the elevator for you, a catered buffet, UT carpet, flat screen tvs in the bathrooms, and an amazing view! We were in the Vol Network box and were invited to go see the announcers booth during the game. It was so cool to see them calling the game! We did enjoy the experience, but decided being down with the "regular people" (we seriously overheard a lady call them this!) was a little more fun. Up in the box was kinda like watching it on tv... you couldn't get the full crowd experience. Though we weren't complaining... it happened to be a very cold game!





Thanksgiving we spent in Clarksville with the fam including GK, Aunt Cathie and Uncle Tim. Ben brought his "new" girlfriend with him and I finally got to meet her. We had a great weekend complete with shopping with all the crazy people on the day after Thanksgiving! It was totally worth it!






I have been hearing about Fantasy of Trees since I moved to Knoxville, but have never gotten to go. I mentioned it to Zach and he suggested I see if Jessica and Janice would want to go. We got to go on the last day it was open (it's open the Weds through Sun of Thanksgiving weekend) and ended up getting in for free thanks to Jess and a kind lady in the parking lot. It was really neat but it was super crowded. These were a few of my favorite trees...
