Well, we made it back all safe from the big vacation/belated honeymoon.  I tell you, we didn't want to leave.  Maggie Valley, NC is an amazing place to stay.  I can't tell you how much time we just hung out on the front deck of the condo.  We probably took over 100 pictures of that one view but it was always changing.  Can I go back now?!  Haha

I thought I'd do a short and sweet blog since we are enjoying this super awesome vacation.  I mean, just look at that view!  

Funny enough, I had the passing thought of bringing some of our equipment with us just in case the mood strikes to 'hunt' while we were here.  Before we left, I decided we weren't going to do the ghost walks so I said forget it.  Yeah, we totally should have brought something other than the camera.  I personally haven't felt anything or seen anything but I am not as 'open' to it either.  Not that I don't want to, but I don't have the ability some people do.  I'm jealous of those people sometimes.  Anyways, we get here and almost immediately Rob has seen something in our room as well as the other day has been touched.  Of course I don't have the digital recorder.  Maybe we'll try to use the recorder on our phones just to see what or if we can get anything.

So as a lesson I hope you learn from our silly oops, always bring something with you even if it's just a voice recorder.  You never know what you're going to get booked into.

Have a great rest of the week.  :)

Almost time for our vacation/belated honeymoon.  I cannot begin to tell you how much we are looking forward to hitting the road at the end of the week.  For once, I am hoping for a busy week so the time flies by.  My luck it'll be busy and time will drag on and on and on and on...

Our big plan is to visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and tubing in Dyson City.  Other than that, there is nothing on the agenda and I like that idea.  We will play the rest of the trip by ear since I have a hard time just sitting around but maybe I'll get over that.  Haha  I think the closest to 'ghost' anything will be Ghost Town in the Sky which sounds ridiculously cheesy and completely up our alley.  

Since this week will be lots of laundry (we all know how much I love that) and packing, I don't think we'll be able to blog before we go.  You never know though, I could get stuff done early.  Yeah, I laughed at that too.  :P  Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter because we will check in from time to time while we're gone.  We have to make people jealous on our trip, right?  

As always, I hope you all have wonderful week and we'll be back soon!

P.S. Ideas, we need them.  

Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as we have been.  

On a whim last night, I stuck some of our business cards (which reminds me I REALLY need to get updated ones) at a place my friends and I hang out quite a bit.  I wanted to see if anyone would take them.  I only put about 4 or 5 out since that's all I had with me.  Within an hour, there was only 1 left.  I was stoked.  This morning I logged on to the admin part of our site and saw we had a spike in visitors since last night.  Very exciting.  I really hope that means we are getting the word out and people start reaching out to us.  So with that, I have to ask, what are some other ways to 'market' the group?  I am thinking that we'll just put the cards in random places since this seemed to work so well.  

My goal this week is to do a little research on how to communicate more with spirits.  I had heard at one point that candles are a great tool.  So as an experiment this week, I am going to light candles as often as possible to see if something else happens.  What are some other household items that can be used for communication?  When investigating a site that has possible children spirits, any type of toy could be useful.  I would personally lean toward a ball this way you can interact by rolling it and a doll since little girls love doll babies.  I would love to hear what other ideas you guys have.

I can't wait to hear what you come up with to my questions.  Keep your eyes open for possible investigations and let us know.  Find  and follow us on Facebook and Twitter and tell your friends. As always, I hope everyone has a great week!
