Some Lucky Lady!

In a little under 24 hours...

A very lucky lady will be receiving this little package of Joy!

It's almost...

"Football Time in Tennessee"

What on earth could be better than a Saturday
celebrating the Big Orange on Cumberland Avenue...

Or even better an SEC Football game in one of
the world's most famous places, Neyland Stadium!

Or, how about singing...
"Rocky top you'll always be home sweet home to me" 

101 times in the span of about an hour? 
Pure Bliss if I do say so myself!

Saturday is the start of football season in V-O-L country
  & we couldn't be more excited!

The day these tickets arrived at our doorstep,
was a day of cheerful celebration...

Since we are a little over 6 hours away from Knox-vegas, 

we are passing up this weeks game for
bigger & better rivalries later in the season.  

So, one lucky lady via Ebay & UPS
will be receiving our game tickets
to cheer on the Big Orange Volunteers!  

What's your football fancy?  Do you bleed orange too?  

If you do, I would love to hear from you!

If not, I would love to hear your football traditions.

Later in the season...

I might bless you with MY LIST of our

Top 20 best Tennessee football memories!

After all, Neyland Stadium was just voted

#1 Football Stadium in the US in 2011...

Not a surprise to any Tennessee Fan!

Sore Hiney!!!

Why might you ask... 

do my hunk of a husband and I have sore hineys'?

We've been riding mountain bikes a little too much lately!

We enjoy it, we always have but...

We enjoy it a lot less when our 

out of shape legs & hindsides 

feel beyond inoperable the next day!

We have been home the last two weekends 

which I might add, is a rare occurrence...

So, both Sundays we have decided to take 

a little whirl around the town or state is more like!

Raleigh has an awesome greenway system 

& that's where we have taken our last two long rides.

Last Sunday this was our route...  only 12 miles, not too deadly.

This Sunday however, we took a little longer ride... 

17.15 miles to be exact

Today, as I sit here in my office chair...

I am envious of those will voluptuous backsides, 

or maybe, it is those...smart enough to have 

laid around lazy daisy on Sunday afternoon!

Either way, I guess I will be positive & look for
the Sunshine in our day after the hurricane activities...   

Runkeeper tells me that I burned over 

1000 calories (yeah!!!)

  yesterday on our whirl around town!

Now, I am going to run and make plans for us next weekend
so we are not in the same predicament come Monday Morning!

Where has the time gone?!

I forgot I had a blog?!
  

Most would think so since I haven't posted in months.

To be honest, I just hit a big rut & had too much change! 

Most would say... "That's the perfect reason to blog", but I didn't!

O well,  I'm not going to try to catch up...
I'm moving forward & going to make this a habit again!  

I have lots of fun things I want to share...

I'll leave you with one quick hint
as to what the next couple of post are going to be about.

Until next time...

How about a little... Modern Swank

In my non-existent blogging days (err. months), I have been meaning to tell you all about a little business venture I have been working on....

After we took our wonderful "Two Year Honeymoon" as we like to call it, I immediately found out that  "The Jenkins Architecture" I had been working for... for nearly 5 years was NO longer going to be!  Change of heart, midlife reassessment, whatever you would like to call the owner's decision to venture away from the design business...

I knew immediately that I wanted to start freelance designing.  Having been in the design field for nearly 10 years now, I have learned the projects that I LOVE to work on, and vise versa... the ones I hate.  My life needs a little creativity.  Let me take that back quickly... A LOT!  I have met many contacts along the way & know that with much effort, I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL!

The best part of this new gig is that I am now able to choose the five W's when it comes to my job.  Well maybe not all five... but the what, where, when, etc.  It's been wonderful so far!

So let me unofficially welcome you to Modern Swank Designs! 

(Click link above to visit shop & bookmark it for your next event)

I plan an official welcome once I get all the business plans in order, but for now a sneak peak at what I have been spending my time doing over the past couple of months.

 Not only am I doing design projects, I have also been doing a little event planning!  Would you like to see a sneak peak of one of my most recent jobs?!

 

In my next post, I will give you the back story on this beautiful bride & her awesome groom!
