When life gets busy...

you start thinking about the better things in life. So this week has not been fun for me. I have a HUGE test Monday afternoon and pretty much have done nothing this week but study and study some more. So tonight when I got home from the library at 10:30 on a Friday I started thinking about my favorite place, the place that relaxes me the most....this may seem a little weird...but its definitely the Great Smoky Mountains. ( I guess this was some odd exercise of mine to get my mind off of HTN, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis...you get the point). But anyways, this is where we went on our August vacation. It was the perfect vacation, no agenda, just sleeping, laying out, and of course the OLYMPICS! We stayed up almost every night to either see Micheal Phelps swim or Nastia Lukin and Shawn Johnson compete in gymnastics. So fun. I love it there. You should visit.

It's my favorite place too! One of our relaxation techniques for labor is to talk about our special place. Gary describes our last trip up there, right after singing school and stuff, and he's gotten good at it, and it's actually relaxing. I just love the trees and the water and it's all so crisp and stuff.

You're right! There is nothing more relaxing than the Great Smokey Mountains. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall...all seasons are gorgeous up there.

Oh, it was so much fun. Most relaxing vacation EVER. P.S., I've missed you this week. We live in the same apartment and I didn't see you hardly at all... :-( I hope your test goes well on Monday. I know you'll do great.
