New Favorite Song too

And while I'm on new favorites, here is my new favorite song.

Taylor Swift - Picture to Burn

Have you seen...

Penelope?
This is my new favorite movie. I just saw it the other night and thought it was so cute!

This is such a great scene. (I am a sucker for romance!) It is at the very end, so if you haven't seen it and plan to, Don't Watch.



Also, the DVD has a spotlight on Twilight the movie if you're interested (and it doesn't include the swear word :).

SLR Camera Debut

Okay, so I know I've said that Ry rarely gets 2 days in a row off, and that is true (he has gone 6 weeks straight without a day off before), but he actually had 2 weekends in a row off!!! The first weekend he went fishing - see below - and his 2nd weekend off we went to Asheville, North Carolina to visit the Biltmore Mansion. It was very impressive. The Biltmore is the largest privately owned home in the US. and was built by George Vanderbilt. For the small fee of $50 each, we toured the impressive home and beautiful grouds. We both really enjoyed it and had a great day!!!

On the way home, we drove through the Great Smokey Mountains. It was beautiful.

(Ry bought a new SLR camera - a Canon Rebel XTi - this was our first time using it. Here are the rest of the pictures. Great job babe!!!)

Deep Sea Fishing

Ry went on a "boy's weekend" to Florida last week. Here is what he had to say about it...

I had the chance to go deep sea fishing in Florida last weekend with some guys from work. We drove from Nashville to Destin, FL, where one of the guys has a beach house. We then took a charter out about 45 miles off the gulf coast and fished for a few hours. We were fishing in 350 feet of water and caught 36 fish between 6 guys. We caught grouper, amberjack, red snapper and scamps. Our biggest fish were about 35 lbs. We ended up with about 100 lbs in filets and had a great time! Enjoy the pictures

Of course, what I see is...defenseless animals fighting for their life, barbarically hung by their lip from a hook, and paraded on hooks by their eye balls at the end of the day to show man's dominance. This might have to be a hobby Ry enjoys without me :)

Do you like Ry's fishing hat??? It was new for the trip - a "Congrats, You're a Chief!!" gift. You know, the Hartman's can't travel without buying something new for the trip! Below are some more pictures of his fun weekend. Double click on the slideshow to see the pictures bigger.
