Well, I received an awesome surprise gift on Christmas morning. My parents bought me hiking boots. Really, really GOOD hiking boots! So, I'm excited and soliciting ideas of places to hike in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

I had to order a different size, so they won't be here until Jan. 4. But, when they do come, I'm planning on taking a short hike to break them in. Watch out National Park, here I come!

I also received money for new clothes, some beautiful sweaters, photos of my beautiful nephew, a Gryffindor scarf, a Pittsburgh Penguins short and quite a few other little things. I was overwhelmed with joy and love on Christmas morning.
