Orange and White Spring Game at Neyland Stadium

Casey and I had a fun weekend here in Knoxville. Friday night we went to dinner at a fun new restaurant downtown in Market Square called Cafe 4. We met up with some new friends, Adam and Jennifer Luttrell for a yummy meal and night out on the town.

The next morning we headed downtown again to hang out with some friends on their rooftop, grilling out for lunch. Then we perused the art at the Dogwood Arts Festival before walking over to Neyland Stadium for the Annual Orange and White spring game, here in Knoxville. Over 51,000 fans were in attendance. It is so fun to be back in Big Orange Country. There was lots of hype with Kiffin on the field. At times, he was almost running the play with the guys. I thought he might try to take a hike there for a minute. I know Casey was missing his Buff's, but we sure did have a fun day.

Yesterday, we went to Cedar Springs for church, and had a realxing afternoon. Then our friends, Devon and Erin Accardi, who run Young Life in Anderson County, just outside of Knoxville, hosted a Ryan Long concert. All of the proceeds of the ticket sales went toward their high school friends trip to YL's Frontier Ranch this summer. We will get to help send Sandy to camp for the best week of her life! So fun!

Hope each of you had a fun weekend too! We are headed to Charleston this coming weekend to spend some time with Michael and Amanda O'Neal, host a baby shower for Allison and Garrett Reed and attend the Anuual College of Charleston Alumni Gala! We can't wait. More pics to follow soon!

Love!

Easter in Nashville!

Hi Friends! Spring is in full force here in East Tennessee. The grass keeps getting greener and longer, as Casey already needs to mow again. Didn't he do that 2 days ago? Anyways... We are starting to find out what kind of flowers are going to bloom in our yard. We have a beautiful Azalea that is just starting to sprout pink. Love the spring.

So to kick it off, we took a trip to Nashville this past weekend to my parents house. All of the kids were there, including my 2 little nieces. It was a blast! Not only was it Easter weekend, but it was also a celebration for Blythe and Madeline's birthdays. So in true Jelley fashion there were lots of sweets including Easter candy, birthday cakes, and chocolate delight and lots of FOOD. And eat we did! I mean, what else do you do when family is all together?

It was a little cold, but Casey made his way out to the lake and took the Jet Ski out for its first spin of 2009. There will be lots more to come I am sure. Enjoy a few pics from our Glorious Easter Morning. What a blessing it was to worship our King! May you be encouraged by what our Lord has done.
