Winter Fun
We stayed at the Stanley Hotel for a couple of nights. The whole time I couldn't stop comparing it to Hot Springs. Our room was on a haunted floor...in fact, the room Stephen King stayed when which inspired him to write The Shining was just a short walk down the hall.
Stay warm and send an update whenever you have a chance! I am looking forward to a trip home for my dress fitting in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can visit with you soon.
Lots of love,
Lex

Engaged!
I hope you've heard the good news by now...John asked me to marry him yesterday! (I said yes.) We were on a backcountry hiking trip near Breckenridge, CO when he popped the question. We've got lots of pictures to share, but a couple for now include:
Just after sharing the news with friends (I think you can see my legs and his hands are shaking!).

Old No. 7
After the tour, we hung out at the BBQ competition and met teams from all over the world: Britain, Canada, and Estonia, just to name a few...everyone was very very nice and very excited about staying up all night in the rain to cook BBQ. Friday night all the teams and volunteers were invited to the distillery for dinner, music, and drinks overlooking Lynchberg...the pic below is the view...I forget sometime just how beautiful TN can be...
We had to head home early Saturday morning so I could help host a baby shower...so we did not actually see the cooking but that was ok...
We spent the next week planning our Halloween costumes....Justin was a break-dancer and I was "Partly Coudy with a Chance of Rain." Yes, I made my costume...comfortable - yes, attractive - no. Two large Red Bull and Vodkas made this outfit suitable for wearing out to a party...and I spent the evening spraying people with a spray gun...I think I better start planning something better for next year!
Love to all!

Curb Appeal with Lexi S.
We have FINALLY finished putting the final touches on our house. Well, there are a few more things we need to do :) but overall, we've made major progress on the porch and general look of the place. Here's a before and after so you can see the dramatic makeover...
This was our house when we first bought it. Yes, that's lime green and teal accents! It seems like a really long time ago when we ripped out that gate. And that bush up front.

Looks like an inviting place for a visit huh? Hope to have you all here at some point soon.
Lots of love,
