On saturday Jeff and I went up to High Falls State Park (between Macon and Atlanta) to see the leaves change colors. It still doesn't really feel like fall here, but it looks that way. The falls were pretty dry but we did find some water along the way. Here are some pics of our adventure.

Here are a few more pics from our Gatlinburg trip. A few of us went to the Gatlinburg aquarium and it was so cool! It's set up to where you are walking in a tunnel and the fish swim all around you. It was neat to see the underside of the fish. They also have a lot of interactive activities. Here is Adam and Ryan in the middle of a fish tank! Definitely a place to go if you have never been!

Hi everyone. I know it has been a while but we have been so busy. We went to Gatlinburg last weekend with my entire family! All 16 of my cousins rented a huge house. Sleeping arrangements were interesting but it was a lot of fun. My uncle had all of us come for my Aunt Renee' s 50th birthday. She still looks 30 to me though. I also started back in school on October 2nd. I thought it would be hard since I decided to take the summer semester off, but it is turning out to be a piece of cake. So far I have the highest grades in my classes, I don't know about the whole school though. Jeff has switched squadrons and now he is teaching new airmen what he was doing. He is staying really busy with that, but seems to enjoy it. Cosmo has gotten so fat, so we have him on a diet! The rest of our families are doing great. Jeff's parents had a write up in a local magazine in TN for their new business (and it has a picture of my car!) the website is www.southernexposuremagazine.com under the business section. Mom is still fostering of course and taking care of everything and everyone under the sun. It seems ironic that dad and I are both having trouble with our knees! I go to an orthopedic surgeon in the next couple of weeks, so I will keep everyone updated on that. Love you all and have a great autumn. Love Jeff, Cosmo, and Hannah

More pictures of our weekend in Tennessee. The 1st picture is of Adam and Michelle, the 2nd is my cousin Chelsea, 3rd is her younger sister Kellye and her boyfriend Michael, last is the youngest of the Croft girls, Jesse with her boyfriend Matt.

Another busy weekend. We went back to Nashville for the last wedding of the year (I hope). It was also mine and Jeff's 2nd anniversary. The 1st picture is of my Aunt Renee and her daughters Lizzie and Ellen and my brother. We were waiting in the lobby at the Opryland Hotel for the reception to begin. The 2nd pic is of Lincoln, he is now 5 months old! He is getting so big. The last 2 pictures are of my brother, me, my sister, Jeff and my mom. This was at Rossi's, my favorite Italian restaraunt, for our birthday dinner. My brother and I are only 11 months and 8 days apart. Yes that means we are the same age for about a week. Weird, huh?

I turned 23 on August 29 and Jeff made a cake for me. Doesn't the cake look good? Trust me, it was! Cosmo even got excited about the candles, just look at him rolling around on the floor! Isn't he adorable.

Here are more vacation pics. The wind was very strong when we had these pictures made, that's why my hair is flying all over the place! And to think these are the good ones.

Sun, sand, and salt water! These are a few of my favorite things. I could honestly live in Destin. I love it there so much and we have so much history there. I am already ready to go back. Here are some pictures of the Campbell family and our newest member Lincoln aka LT. Don't I have the most adorable nephew ever! I also like the picture of Gary sleeping on the beach

Yet another wedding!!! Wow, we have been to 3 weddings so far this summer and two more to go. Here is one of Jeff's best friends; Angela, who was maried at her parents house on Saturday July 29. It turned out to be a beautiful wedding even though it was about 100 degrees.

Jeff comes home in less than a month! I am so excited, naturally. Here is a picture of him overseas. I thought it would be nice for everyone to see a picture of him since we can't actually see him in person. I did have a great weekend though. My mom came down and we met up with old friend of hers, Scott and his wife Tammy. Scott is a musician and we went to a local bar to watch him play. My friends, Kris and Michelle, also came out to see him perform and we played a little darts. Kris beat the crap out of Michelle and I in all the different games we played. I guess I have never been good at drats though.

Here we are later on that day at my cousin's wedding. This is the new Ryan and Stevie Trotter! Congratulations guys, it was about time! Look at how cute Jamison is with the pillow on his head. We had so much fun that night. We did all those stupid dances you always told yourself you would never be caught dead doing. This was also Jessica's graduation, so here is a picture of her as well. She is going to be attend ing Western Kentucky University in the fall. I am so proud of her!

So here are some pictures of William Vaughn's (my best friend) wedding. His new wife is Leslie, they met in Ft. Wayne, IN where she is from. We had such a good time. I only wish Jeff could've been there too. It was great being able to see all of my old friends again. I practically grew up with Will and most of his groomsmen! Overall, it was a great day and a great trip home.

So we're in our third deployment already? Time is really flying by. Luckily I have a good friend, Sharla, who's husband is also deployed. We are helping each other through this. We have been doing quite a bit of shopping which is unfortunate for our bank accounts. This weekend Sharla is coming home to Nashville with me to attend a graduation, and two weddings. Sharla hasn't been to Nashville since Opryland was there, so we are going downtiown on Friday night. I'm excited to get home and see all my family. I miss all of you!

Here we are bringing in the new year with some of our friends and family in Nashville. Here I am with Stevie, Jessica, Bonnie and Laura. And the cute guy in the rocking chair is my baby brother Adam.

So, ever since we got married I have been pestering Jeff to let me get a pet. Someone to be here with me since he's on deployment most of the time. He finally agreed to a baby kitten that my boss' wife rescued from a storm drain. Here is Cosmo (named after Kramer from Senfield, because Cosmo loves to watch that show) tearing up our Christmas decorations. Isn't he adorable!

This was on our trip back up north before Jeff got deployed again. It seems like he just got back, doesn't it? We went to visit Jeff's grandmom in NJ and my dad in DC. Here we are looking at the amazing Korean War statues (which my stepdad fought in). These statues are so life like.

Here is Brian and Trish, (Jeff's older brother and sister-in-law) on the 4th of July. Little did we all know that they are preparing for the first little bundle of joy in our family.

Great news, Lincoln Tyler was born on March 20, 2006 @ 1:57am. Lincoln and mommy are doing great. He was an amazing 10 lbs and 21 inches long. Ouch!

Wow! What is this? Jeff's dad in a foreign made vehicle?? Jeff's dad and younger brother came to visit us at the Car Show in Atlanta in April of 05. Here is the man that beleives on GM vehicles are made by God. Gary I think I have blackmale on you (doesn't that seat say Infiniti?)

Well, this would have been our first holidays together as a married couple, but Jeff was serving ou country overseas at the time. He did make it back on February 4 2005. We had big plans to go to visit our families and then take a vacation to one of our favorite spots on Hilton Head Island, SC. Our vacation was delayed a little because my step-dad passed away on February 10. This picture is of us on Valentine's Day on HHI just before dinner.
