#83- Go to a corn maze


I had to work a weekend in October so I decided it would be fun to take the kids to a corn maze. Hubby met us at the maze and the older child brought a friend. We let two 6 year olds and a 3 year old lead us through the maze. They had a blast finding different check points and once their little attention spans were reached we found the correct way out and had fun at all the other stuff they had to offer. You could milk a pretend cow, walk through a hay bale maze, dig in the sand, jump in the bouncy houses, take your pictures with your face in the hole type displays, climb on farm equipment, take a hay ride, climb through tunnels and climb hay bales.


We will definitely be going back to Green Acres farm next year. It was tons of fun!

#81- See the Biltmore

We went to the mountains for our anniversary and used a go blue ridge pass. It was awesome and I highly recommend it. www.smartdestinations.com They have ones for multiple cities. We saved $110 per person on all the stuff we did including the Biltmore which was included.

We had the best time at the Biltmore. We loved the wine tasting and the gardens. It was soooo beautiful. The house was amazing. I would love to see it at christmastime.

#71 See a movie the same day it comes out

I have seen the previews for Due Date and I have been dying to see it. Hubby recently did a side computer job so we had extra cash. We had a nice dinner and went to see Due Date. It was hilarious and we will definitely get it for DVD.

#57 Tribeca Tavern

I went here for the first time with my boss and the kids and lovvved it. The service was a little slow but we went for Jon's birthday dinner too and service was great. If you sign up for Rocky Top Hospitality e-mails they send you a coupon for a free entree. Dessert was yummy and it was an awesome burger.

#49 Agree to something I want to say no to by Jon

Heights scare me and I didn't want to say yes but I walked down all the steps at Chimney Rock and went on a hike with him up our road on our trip to the mountains. I had to wear my leg brace all week because of my leg but we got good pictures.

#5, Lose 15 lbs

I have officially lost 15 lbs. :-) Working out with my trainer was going fairly well. I explained I had bad knees and she decided to not care and still had me doing things that hurt. I went to the doctor and she sent me to physical therapy. My left knee is my bad knee and hurting it years ago my leg muscles tightened and it causes my patella to turn sideways instead of going back and forth. About 2 weeks into physical therapy I went on a trip to visit my mom. We went out dancing and pop and down I went. I had to be carried to the car and back on the boat. It was intense pain. The next day I could hobble enough and I had to drive 5.5 hours back home. I went to the dr. and that night I fell again. One more injury at the fair and I had an MRI. I knew it wasn't good when the Dr.'s office called the following day and said they needed to see me in the office the next day.

I tore my ACL. :( Surgery is scheduled for Jan when my oldest kid I watch tracks out of school. I won't be allowed to drive for 4 weeks according to my doctor. From what I hear people are moving around and driving before that so we shall see. I have been doing hard core physical therapy and I am just recently released to go back to the gym.

#20- Find a good pedicure place

My hair stylist recently changed salons and there is a nail salon that just opened next door. I decided to try it out and I was in heaven. Super cheap and while your toes are drying they massage your shoulders. The other week the lady even painted a design on my toes at no charge. Lovvvvvvvvve this place!

#13-Blog at least once a week-FAIL

This one gets a big fail. Life has taken over and I have been insanely busy. Having 4 classes and working 50-60 hours is totally kicking my ass. I was working out hard core but recently I managed to tear my ACL. I will have surgery in January :( I will have to be out of work for a few weeks which will be super hard for me.
