So I got in trouble for not taking pictures again this past weekend, but I made another trip to Chattanooga!
I feel like I'm there just about every other weekend, but it's always fun. Saturday it took me FOUR hours to get to Chattanooga thanks to the interstate being closed to just one lane. Once I finally arrived, I met up with the UTC girls (that has grown from just 6 of us to 8 in the past few months with the addition of Ada Luv and Emma Bear).
Sunday was all about my dad as we had an awesome meal for his birthday and enjoyed time together.
Oh and I'm excited to welcome my mom to the blogging business. She's just started a blog to support her cake business - Tiers of Joy. I can imagine that all the amazing cakes she's made over the past few months/year will be uploaded to there as soon as she figures out how to do it.
Brent's been working his hiney off as he's taken on a little part-time adventure, I mean, job, working at Opryland in the valet parking. There are SO many wonderful perks to this job, but unfortunately he works mostly on the weekends so he wasn't able to go with me to Chattanooga this time.
It was a beautiful drive over Monteagle this weekend - I only wish I had pulled over and taken some photos. The colors are MUCH more gorgeous than here in Nashville, unfortunately.
Hope everyone has a great week.

So glad we got to see you this weekend, again :) Fun times and I am so proud of your mom! That is awesome!
P.S. Tell Brent we missed him!
It's funny how we evolve. To hear you say you are now passionate about finance, and to hear myself say "marketing is everything" last weekend, humbles me to say the least.
The bail-out plan physically makes me sick to my stomach. I seriously get nauseous just thinking about it. To have the audacity to fly into Washington on a private Gulfstream to ask for tax-payers money and then to subsequently then give yourself a bonus is completely disgusting to the word capitalism.
Furthermore, the nationalism of our countries mortgage operations do not set a welcoming precedence for other countries.
But even above all of the pesky little details, lets take a look at history. First, our Founding Fathers didn't even have a Federal Reserve, banks negotiated rates privately based on their own judgement of risk. Second, the Treasury's mandate sure as hell wasn't to go buy private companies (e.g. AIG, etc...) that would be the Treasury of the USSR, and I don't think that ended too well.
In the end, the innovators will succeed though. As always, I loved the verse and am looking forward to next Tuesday.
