family getaway.

I'm posting this WAY LATER than I intended but better late than never I guess...

About three weeks before graduation (which I will blog about soon... hopefully), my family came to Knoxville for the weekend. We rented a cabin in a small town called Cosby and just hung out. I was pretty much finished with school at this point so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Everything can best be seen by photos... so that is what the blog will consist of. Sadly, my phone broke about a week after this so a lot of my pictures were lost (like pictures of the cabin and our night in Gatlinburg)... but here is what I have!

My favorite part was when we hiked on Saturday:

This is the first waterfall we saw... pictures don't do it justice.

And this is where the hike ended:

I should mention that they brought the dogs...

Left: Gabby didn't want me to leave
Right: Izzy doesn't like to sit still

Overall, it was a great weekend and I'm so thankful for it. I have no idea what I would do without the loving family the Lord has blessed me with. It will be a weekend that I treasure forever. (And don't judge us for the last picture... Dad took it and we were all staring directly into the sun haha)
