Gatlinburg...The 8th Wonder of the NASCAR World.
July 06 2005
So my wife and I along with Trevor and Keva Atwood and little Micah Atwood, Josh and Jessica Miller, Daniel Patterson, James Alfonso, Amber Sutton, Chase Larson, Ben Brown, Brittany Dove, and Jeff Joslin went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee Saturday and returned yesterday around noon. It was a good time to get away and be with friends and relax. On the ajenda was an all time favorite of mine...NOTHING! A little background on the people Rachel and I went with.
I have been going over to Trevor and Keva Atwood's every Thursday night at 6:30 since my first semester here at MTSU (spring 2002). It has provided me a chance to get away from school and stress and hangout with fellow believers. Over the past 3 years there have been as many as 20 people over their house on a Thursday night. Trevor and Keva are incredible people. They give so much of themselves, time, and resources. All the guys that went to G-Burg I have known since I've been here in the' Boro...except for Jeff and I met him this semester. All the guys went to my wedding and we all play AO flag football together. There is a bond that exist between us that most people groupd of friends never find. Why? Because we are brothers in Christ and have experinced the taste of God together, worshiped together, prayed together, cried together, and been there for one another. I would be surrised if I fiond friends like these after I leave MTSU. The girls are amazing. I have also known them since my stay here in Mur-frees-boro. They are godly women who are true testiments of what a "real" women should be about. My wife being at the lead.
We stayed in a cabin just about 3 mintues from the "strip" in G-Vegas. Our cabin was nice. Air conditioned and cable tv just waiting to be used by us! We grilled out chicken, burgers, and dogs...not real dogs...hot dogs...ballpark hotdogs. For entertainment we played mafia, cranium, and phase 10. Speaking of entertainment... we watched Micha's The Wiggle's video tape. I still am lost for words by those 5 dudes dancing around in their respective colored turtle necks. Regretably, I find myself reciting some of the dialouge I heard from The Wiggle's.
Fourth of July 2005 was one not to forget. Friends, jokes, The Life of David Gayle and Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, seeing more than my fare share of UT fans littering the strip, The italian restaurant we ate at, nightmarish bunny rabbit mascot suits, the intense game of mafia we played, the blair witch house we saw on a trail, and asking a Chick-Fil-A employee if her boss was Christian. Unforgetable.
