We had to wear our wonderful white uniforms, however that was the last day I ever put them on! Mama also had the opportunity to pin me since she was a nurse, making this ceremony even more special!

Locks of Love

Trying to hold the tears back
Discussing the cut with Jennifer (my hairstylists) On March 21, 2008 I went to BellaDonna's Salon in Lebanon, TN and cut off 10-11 inches of hair to donate to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that donates hair to children that are financially unable to purchase hair pieces and are suffering from a long-term medical disability causing hair loss. This is the 2nd time I have donated hair to this organization, and I am currently in the process of growing it out to do it again! If you would like to know more information about this organization or donation requirements their website is http://www.locksoflove.org/.

Our wedding dresses

As a present for Daddy, Mama, JC, Grandmama, and Nana, Kristen and I got together and dressed up in our wedding dresses and took pictures at Melrose Church in Fiddler's Grove. The church is located in the same area that Trenton and I got married, and Bethlehem Methodist Church (where Kristen and Jason got married) looks very similar. The windows in Melrose Church were also made by PawPaw (Aunt Jeannie's father-in-law). Some of our pictures were taken in front of a window with three crosses at the top. That particular window was a window that Mama and her family donated money for in honor of Granny and Grandaddy Collinsworth. Sarah helped do our hair, while Trenton and Jason took the pics!

Gatlinburg with the Family

Eating dinner at the diner! The pic is a little blurry (the waiter must have been a little shakey!) Riding in the sleigh... Another ride in the middle of the village in downtown Gatlinburg This pic is a little dark, but it is still good! On the way up! Every year since we were kids Daddy would take Kristen and I to Gatlinburg, TN for Kristen's birthday and just to get away and have fun. We typically would rent a cabin and relax, do a little shopping downtown, and drive through Cade's Cove. Gatlinburg has always been a fun place--for adults and kids alike!
