I've officially been MIA for over a year. It happens and I'm not gonna act like it doesn't. I'm not sure that anyone is out there left to read this but why don't recap the last year, shall we? (Things last spring are a little sparse - that was a long time ago!)<br />

<u>Old Friends!</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We met up with Aaron, Andrew and his wife Amanda in Knoxville. These 3 guys spent their childhood years together in Athens so it was fun to see how life has changed since then!</div>

<u>Narco</u></div>
After being referred to a sleep doctor, I had to go through a sleep study. Diagnosis? Severe Narcolepsy. Yep. I know you are thinking - "Oh my gosh are you going to fall asleep like right now?" No! What you didn't know is that I have had it for years and been functioning just fine. 1 in 2,000 people have it. There is nothing you can do to cure it and I will always have it. What am I doing about it? Making the best of it! I no longer feel bad about falling asleep watching TV or a movie. I currently use it in the "Tell an interesting Fact about Yourself" icebreaker games and bask in the fact that I can fall asleep in 2 1/2 minutes no matter the time of day!<br />
<br />
<u>Community Service</u><br />
I was appointed to serve on the Girl Scouts Board of Southern Appalachians and went to my first meeting. I concluded my 3 year term on the UTAA Women's Council and concluded my 5 year term on the UTC GOLD Council. Tyler graduated from the Protege program with the Chamber of Commerce. He is also serving a term on the UTAA Board of Governors and the Partnership for Families, Children & Adults.<br />

<u>"Kneeding" a Break</u><br />
I slipped in some water before an event at work and fell pretty hard on my left knee. I slapped a band-aid on it and finished the event. I realized the next day I still couldn't really move it. Long story short - I ended up in a full leg immobilizing brace and crutches. Verdict: Cracked Femur. We were leaving for our British Isles Cruise in 1 week. Panic set in. Luckily after getting a second opinion - nothing was broken! The previous doctor can't read x-rays! Brace came off and slowly start to heal. Nasty scar to show for it!<br />

<u>British Isles Cruise</u><br />
I slipped this in the last story but it was definitely the highlight of 2014. BRITISH ISLES CRUISE!!! We spent 2 weeks exploring the British Isles. We started in England and ventured to France, Ireland, North Ireland, and Scotland. We traveled 12,500 miles and took 1,000 pictures.<br />
<br />
We walked over the London Bridge, trekked to Stonehenge in the pouring rain, ate lunch in the Eiffel Tower, drove through the tunnel where Princess Diana died, fought to see a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, looked for the Loch Ness monster, visited The Cavern where the Beatles played, toured a castle from Downton Abby and St. Patrick's Cathedral, and kissed the Blarney Stone.The list goes on and on.<br />
<br />
I ate sheep bladder without realizing it, tried Irish coffee but wasn't impressed, and ate mushy peas with fish and chips. We had a wonderful time but were glad to be back in the good ol' US of A!<br />

<u>Clingman's Dome </u><br />
For years we have wanted to visit Clingman's Dome, the highest point in Tennessee. We took a hiking trip with the Shells on July 4th weekend. We also took another hiking trail to Laurel Falls. Let's just say that if you go hiking in Cade's Cove on a pretty weekend, expect a crowd!<br />

<u>Nanny</u><br />
July and August were hard. We lost our sweet Nanny in August. She fought hard until the end. She was such a special lady and meant so much to us. It still seems unreal she is gone. She loved me like I was her own grandchild and loved Tyler more than words can describe. I am lucky that I was able to know her and have no shortage of Nanny stories!<br />

<u>Sunday School Class</u><br />
We were asked to start a Sunday School class at our church for Young Professionals. We were so blessed to have such a large class it has already split! We have thoroughly enjoyed getting serve in this way. Obviously, I am more of the social aspect and Tyler teaches but it makes for a great combination! Tyler has a gift for teaching and I have loved getting to learn from him!<br />

<u>Garth!</u><br />
As a surprise, I bought Tyler tickets to see Garth Brooks in Atlanta. We drove down for the concert that didn't even start until 10:00 PM, watched the concert and drove home the next morning in time to be at church! It was the latest we had stayed out probably ever. He can say he enjoyed every minute!<br />

<u>TEDxUTChattanooga</u><br />
I helped plan the first ever TED event in Chattanooga. It was a lot of work but resulted in a wonderful highlight for the campus. Plans for the 2016 event are already underway!<br />

<u>Mt. Airy - Mayberry</u><br />
As crazy as it sounds, back in June 2014, I made reservations for January 2015 to stay in the house that Andy Griffith grew up in. I decided this would be the perfect birthday present for Tyler! We had a great weekend. We toured the Andy Griffith museum, visited Wally's service station, rode in the squad cars and visited the jail, visited Floyd the barber, ate a fried pork chop sandwich, and hiked Mount Pilot. The house was even furnished with retro furniture and all! I'm not sure that I will ever top this birthday present!<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>New Job!</u><br />
In January I started a new job at UTC. 3 years, 3 Chancellors, and 158 events later it was time to move on to other things! I am now in the Development Office at the Associate Director of Stewardship & Advancement Services and absolutely loving it! I love learning new things and I continue to expand my knowledge. This is the perfect job for any people person so I am in heaven!<br />

<u>97 Years Young</u><br />
My grandmother, Ruby Young, turned 97! She moved retirement homes of the summer so this was a new place to have the annual party. Jon & Malia weren't able to attend since they had just had their first child. We tried to help Grandmother Skype with them but she didn't quiet get the technology!<br />

<u>Engaged Teacher of the Year!</u><br />
My sister, Sarah got engaged and was named Teacher of Year all in the same day! Tyler and I traveled to Nashville to surprise her once she said yes! The whole family (his & hers) waited in the lobby of Frist Museum where he proposed. The wedding has been set for June 20th! Wedding plans have been in full swing ever since with a bridal shower soon!<br />

<u>Valentine's Surprise</u><br />
Tyler surprised me with a trip to Atlanta for Valentine's day. We toured CNN, the Margaret Mitchell house, the Swan house and finished the day with dinner at Capital Grille. Chattanooga is conveniently close to Atlanta and it was great for a quick day date!<br />
<br />
<u>Community Service & Leadership</u><br />
Tyler spent a week at the UT Leadership Institute. I have never been so lonely! I take for granted how great it is to live together! He was glad to be back home and I was glad to have him back! (To keep myself occupied I took a calligraphy class!) He also was selected to be one of the newest members of Rotaract which is the Young Professionals Rotary group in town. Tyler is the current President of the UT Alumni Chattanooga Network and yours truly is the President Elect. I also was recently named secretary of the Girl Scouts board.<br />

<u>Harry T. Burn Grave Dedication</u><br />
It wouldn't be in true Tyler fashion to update you if it didn't involve a grave yard! Tyler was asked to speak at the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) Grave Dedication for Harry T. Burn. He is related to the famous 19th Amendment vote politician and was honored to be included in the ceremony.<br />

Elena has more hair than any baby I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to see her again yet. I am hoping to change that soon!</div>

I also have two more friends that are pregnant due this summer. The cat isn't quite out of the bag yet though so I will have to share those later. I can honestly say that this is such a fun time in my life to see my friends become parents. Who knew we were old enough to do all this?! I feel like we should still be in college!</div>

When we were looking for furniture for our new house, we wanted something that would serve us well for years to come. We didn't want anything that we couldn't modify with our taste with so we went with beige. Have I mentioned how much we love these? They are so soft!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also wanted a chair that went with them. We picked out this pattern - complete opposite of our neutrals!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The only problem was that the pillows that couch and love seat came with where TERRIBLE. I could hardly look at them on the couch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, after months and months of hunting for the right fabric that would match the couches and the chair, I finally had material for pillows.</div>

My sister gave me a trial subscription to Birchbox for Christmas. I'll admit, I had been eyeing it for some time but never felt like it was something that I would pay for. I know you are surprised!</div>

That stuff in the the red bottle is awesome leave-in conditioner. I loved it so much I even purchased a full size bottle! Another HUGE surprise. The perfume smells very good. Not sure I would buy it though. And, who can be disappointed in chocolate. Lip Gloss is pretty good yet nothing I would buy. And, who doesn't love glitter fingernail polish?</div>

I love love love that Monarch hand lotion. It smells wonderful and does amazing things for dry hands in the winter. I even bought a real size of it too! SHOCKING! I also have used the heck out of that pink fingernail polish. It helps that it is my favorite color. I haven't tried the hair stuff because I feel like it would be for the summer once you have been swimming. And, the face wash, I haven't ventured into yet because I love my regular stuff I use now but one day soon! And, the Under Armour headband - can't go wrong!</div>

<br />
December 7, we took a trip with friends to the Biltmore. Everything was great. We were on our way back and only a few minutes from home and a rock came out of no where and hit the windshield. The next day when I came out from work, it was cracked and spidering down the whole thing. So, we had to get the windshield replaced.<br />
<br />
January 2, Tyler needed a few copies so we ran to the FedEx store. We stood at the copier next to the window. We were in there all of 10 minutes. I come outside to find that someone had hit my car and kindly drove away with not even so much as a note.<br />

Also, please note that no one was parked around me. This was also a HUGE aisle for people to travel. I really don't see how this was possible. We had to call the police to get a report. We also found out that Tennessee state law says that if you are part of a hit and run, no matter your insurance, you have to pay $200. To replace my tail light alone was $200.</div>

<br />
January 7, We had been at dinner at the Wheeler's new house. We came home and notice a funny noise coming from inside our house. It didn't take long to realize that it was our smoke alarms - all 4 of them were going off - at one time. Immediate panic set in - our house was on fire. Obviously, in our clear thinking, we ran inside. (Hind sight - this probably was a dumb idea if there really had been a fire.) No smoke in sight. Tyler ran to the back of the house and I ran to the front. That's when it hit me - literally - water in my face and then I slipped in the huge puddle of water. A busted pipe thanks to the polar vortex that we were currently experiencing. Tyler ran outside to turn the water off at the street. I ran upstairs to try to find where the water was coming from.<br />
<br />
In case you were wondering, we chose not to finish the upstairs of our house. It has the potential for a full bath and another bedroom/bonus room up there. Seeing as how we didn't need that much space, we left it as is. We knew that it was plumbed for the bathroom but there wasn't <i>supposed </i>to be water up there. Our builder, who shall remain nameless, put in a tub but no faucet and didn't even insulate the pipes. <i>(Please excuse how dirty the tub it - like I said - we don't really even go up there, nor did I know there was water!)</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
See - no faucet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When I got up there water was shooting out of the non-faucet both the front and the back. What was coming out the back was going straight through the sub-floors. Luckily, what was going out the front was collecting in the bathtub. Conveniently, whoever put in the tub, also put the stopper in the drain. Genius move obviously. When I got up there, the tub was half an inch from overflowing over the side. Read: potentially a bigger mess. Through very cold cold water I reached in and unstopped the tub. My next move was to save the hardwood floors.<br />
<br />
The water was draining out of the light fixture and the smoke alarm. The water in the smoke alarm shorted it and they are all connected which made all them go off. Keep in mind - they yell "FIRE FIRE BEEP BEEP" over and over and over times 4. I grabbed two big bowls and start collecting the water while trying to mop up water that was everywhere!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We cut off electricity to the front of the house yet the smoke alarms wouldn't stop. They have been going off for an hour now. At this point, we are out of ideas and we call the fire department non-emergency number. Being such a new neighborhood, we aren't in the GPS systems yet. They can't find us. They are coming down the street shining a spot light on every house. I finally wave them down and they come in. One of them remarked to me "I'm not sure why we are here, I was trying to read a book, the alarm didn't even go off."<br />
<br />
Ironically, one of the firemen worked with dry wall as a side job. He climbed up on the ladder and says to me in a thick southern accent "Ma'am, I'm gonna have to rip this out of the wall. You're going to have to replace this anyways because of the water damage." To which I replied "Umm, ok" (What do you really say to that?!?! No???)<br />

<br />
Once it was out, all the beep stopped except one little beep. All three firemen, Tyler and I were walking around the house trying to find the last of the beeping. One of the fireman stopped and held up the alarm he ripped out still in his hand and said "Backup battery!" (Insert face palm)<br />
<br />
The firemen made sure that nothing was going to catch fire with all the water outlets. They told us we needed to find somewhere else to stay for the night. I then offered the firemen some of the brownies I had made earlier. They ate a few and was on their way.<br />
<br />
The good news to the story - it was the builder's fault therefore, he repaired completely!<br />
<br />
Needless to say, we have had an eventful few months. Let's hope that this is it for 2014. I am not sure that I could take any more!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16052622291671043866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101390484897498647.post-485782922709030582013-08-29T07:00:00.000-04:002013-08-29T07:00:11.290-04:00Life as an Event Planner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So you have probably noticed that blog posts are few and far between these past few months. In the past year (June 2012 - June 2013) I have planned 60 events. Keeping in mind that the University is only open 51 weeks out of the year. Needless to say - that is why posts are limited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, while I don't have much exciting news besides the house - I can at least share with you what I do while I am at work!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Highlights of the past 5-6 months:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Tyler graduated with his Masters!</li>
<li>I traveled to Chicago for an academic event planners conference that I won a scholarship to attend</li>
<li>I attended a week long leadership seminar that I was hand chosen for by the UT system president. </li>
<li>We decided to build our first house. We move in July or August! We are sad to leave our current house but are so excited about all that is to come in the new house!</li>
<li>I lost 30 pounds and have drastically changed my eating habits. Don't get me wrong, I still have lapses and still have some to go. But, I am proud of where I am headed.</li>
<li>I work...a lot. I love my job and the return makes it all worth it. April is always the busy season. This year I have pulled off some of my best yet events and it makes me love it even more.</li>
<li>I have been the president of GOLD Council this year. (UTC's young alumni group). I can honestly say I have loved every minute of it. We have an awesome group of talented people that I have enjoyed getting to know.</li>
<li>We finally found a church in Chattanooga! We have been attending regularly and it is so nice to have a place to worship on Sundays!</li>
<li>I have been scrapbooking like crazy and am actually up to date on our family yearbooks! This was a huge feat!</li>
<li>Today I met Dr. Ben Carson - he was so inspiring. I love to see people in the world that make the best of what they are given and excel at doing it!</li>
<li>I survived my 4th Commencement this weekend! It never gets any easier. 1,200 graduates is a lot no matter how you have them cross the stage. </li>
<li>Tyler turned 25 and I turned 26 but you would never tell it. We are old souls. We love 48 Hours mysteries and meat & three restaurants more than is normal. </li>
<li>I will be getting a new boss again in July. I am going to miss working with Dr. Bogue. That man has so much knowledge and can make anyone laugh.</li>
<li>We went to see George Strait in concert in Knoxville for Tyler's graduation present. I can honestly say I think he was in heaven. That man loves King George and 90's country music. </li>
<li>I found out that I was allergic to eggs. Everything has eggs in it- ok not everything. But it sure seems like it when you can't eat them!</li>
<li>I am convinced that Tyler is the best husband. Yes, I am biased but I don't care. He continues to impress me. And, I am amazed that we have almost been married 3 years. It is true that what say that time flies when you are having fun. </li>
<li>I graduated college 4 years ago. I have now been out of college as long as I was in it. </li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I originally got this recipe <a href="http://www.recipegirl.com/2011/08/18/nutter-butter-peanut-butter-pie/">here</a>. But, it never hurts to make it your own!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This by far has to be the best peanut butter pie I have eaten. I think the Nutter Butter crust that really adds something to it instead of a normal graham cracker crust. You will love this!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Ingredients:<br /><br />24 Nutter Butter cookies, crushed into fine crumbs<br />5 Tablespoons butter, melted<br />1 cup hot fudge<br />8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature<br />3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted<br />1 cup creamy peanut butter<br />1 Tablespoon vanilla extract<br />8 ounces Cool Whip, defrosted<br /><br /><br /><div>
Directions:<br /><br />1. In a medium bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press the mixture into a pie plate. Pour the hot fudge on top and smooth it out. Place in the freezer while you're preparing the filling.<br /><br />2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to mix cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla; beat until smooth. Beat in about 1 cup of the Cool Whip. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the rest of the Cool Whip. Keep folding until the mixture is well combined.<br /><br />3. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the frozen pie crust, smooth the top, and place back into the freezer. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until set enough to slice easily. </div>

This cheese ball has become known as Tyler's Manly Cheese Ball. He took it to our office holiday party and it was the first thing gone. His office even requested that he make it again the next day! It is super easy to double for the larger crowd too! Enjoy!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />6 slices bacon<br />1/4 cup chopped pecans<br />8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature<br />1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese<br />2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley<br />1 garlic clove, minced<br />1/4 teaspoon ground cumin<br />2 pinches cayenne pepper<br />1 teaspoon lime juice<br />1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<br />dash of salt<br /><div>
approx 2 jalapenos (ribs and seeds removed), finely chopped and divided (***We used approx 5-6 jalapeno slices from a jar to equal one pepper)<br />crackers (for serving)<br /><br /><br />Directions:<br /></div>
<div>
Cook the bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until crispy. (Must be crispy!) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool slightly, then crumble and divide in half. <br /><br />While the bacon is cooking, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 4 minutes, or until fragrant.<br /><br />In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parsley, garlic, cumin, cayenne, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, half of the minced jalapenos and half of the crumbled bacon until well combined. Season the mixture to taste with salt. <br /><br />On a large plate, stir the toasted pecans, remaining minced jalapenos and remaining half of the crumbled bacon together until evenly distributed. Shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball (the mixture will be sticky, just barely wet your hands first). Roll the ball in the pecan mixture until coated on all sides.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.</div>

Each year I love getting out the Christmas decorations. It is something about having my house decorated that really makes so excited for Christmas. This year I wanted to mix up our decorations a little bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first craft was this cranberry candle. I paid all of $2 for this and that was only for the cranberries! I already owned the candle in the glass and then I had the cylinder vase. I simply just put the cranberries between the two. And, even though they are fresh cranberries they last a good while!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, the snow candle. Again, this only cost me a couple bucks. I owned the vase and the candle. And, believe it or not, this is Epsom salt! It makes for great fake snow!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ndspAvgeQsfnz_bONjGWTfdWf1v20oT_AC1fLe-AHyd_1lhF6LtV4r7E8LEYJsDmQEZOv9EBZaBIpPX0PirOQnAuyyDU3Etf5FjcSMEj5lciMCFQfFM0KFUQVjsDRhHgiRqP4jbunzjP/s1600/November2012+057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ndspAvgeQsfnz_bONjGWTfdWf1v20oT_AC1fLe-AHyd_1lhF6LtV4r7E8LEYJsDmQEZOv9EBZaBIpPX0PirOQnAuyyDU3Etf5FjcSMEj5lciMCFQfFM0KFUQVjsDRhHgiRqP4jbunzjP/s320/November2012+057.JPG" width="212" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And last, jingle bell candles! Another cheap centerpiece! I already owned the snowflake plate and the votive candles. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a couple packs of jingle bells and spread them out around the candles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1hOLHOzT_WGpavxvEVAhZrlMuKWPGyuYCTW4Pq0TrnVFn_BTgrBiUUk_C5E0D8W0D6k9LcNSBEZjYRGLsBx4VFyyHssjEG6aut1m8v_0ylf3jq8gkBXw1FxT1-j_n1lMKSJ2h0YX_XV7/s1600/November2012+058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1hOLHOzT_WGpavxvEVAhZrlMuKWPGyuYCTW4Pq0TrnVFn_BTgrBiUUk_C5E0D8W0D6k9LcNSBEZjYRGLsBx4VFyyHssjEG6aut1m8v_0ylf3jq8gkBXw1FxT1-j_n1lMKSJ2h0YX_XV7/s320/November2012+058.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you are anything like me, you have your wedding bouquet that you saved - but what do you do with it now?<br />
<br />
My bouquet was daisies which don't dry well. I did dry my bouquet but it still just looked like sad lump of old flowers.<br />
<br />
I will admit I saw this on pinterest. It wasn't an original idea but I did my own little accents.<br />
<br />
So, I bought this plastic ornament at Walmart - all $.97! Popped off the lid and put in my petals. Then, I decided that it needed a little more something. I still had some ribbon from the wedding. The black ribbon with the white dots was from the vases at the reception. And, the pink ribbon was from the wedding favors. This is a neat way to preserve the ribbon too!<br />
<br />
Yes, this is our third married Christmas but, better late than never!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16052622291671043866noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101390484897498647.post-75214093857734815342012-12-01T07:00:00.000-05:002012-12-20T20:20:31.478-05:00November Goals Recap<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tyler and I had been talking that we would love to go to a UTC basketball game. The first game of the season for the Lady Mocs was against the Lady Vols. I can honestly say it was an awesome game. I don't know that I have ever enjoyed a basketball game that much. I was actually hoarse after it!</div>

<br /></div>
This was a simple recipe that I modified to make it a little more calorie friendly!<br /><br />1 container of fat free Cool Whip<div>
1 small package of sugar free vanilla pudding mix</div>
<div>
1 can of pumpkin</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mix all together. Keep refrigerated. This is great for dipping apples, graham crackers, etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy! </div>
