Today’s coffee means a little more.

As fellow local business owners and lifelong Dolly fans, we wanted to support what Black Rifle Coffee Company is doing today.

In honor of Dolly, they are donating 100% of today’s net sales to The Dollywood Foundation.

Growing up here in the Smokies, Dolly has always felt like part of our community. Beyond the music and Dollywood, she has spent decades giving back to the place she came from and to people all over the world.

The Dollywood Foundation, of course, is home to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which started right here in Sevier County and has grown to provide free books to millions of children.

So stopping in for a cup of coffee today was an easy decision.

Thank you, Black Rifle Coffee Company Sevierville, for honoring Dolly by supporting something that meant so much to her.

This cup is for Dolly. ❤️

We loved helping Keytavi and Tyrone's wives pull off this sweet surprise to celebrate their 50th birthdays while here in the Smokies!

Sevier County lost a piece of its heart. 💔

To the rest of the world, Dolly Parton was an icon. A legendary songwriter, entertainer, businesswoman and philanthropist. But here in Sevier County, she was something more...she was ours.

She was the little girl from the mountains who dreamed bigger than anyone could have imagined, went out and conquered the world, and somehow never forgot where she came from.

Her name is everywhere here, but more importantly, so is her impact. In the children who received their first books because of her. In the families she helped during our community's darkest days. In the opportunities she created. In the pride generations of us have felt when we told someone we were from Dolly's hometown.

She showed the world that you could come from a tiny place in the mountains, dream impossibly big dreams, and still carry home with you everywhere you went.

There will *never* be another Dolly.

Our hearts are with the Parton family and everyone throughout Sevier County who is grieving today.

Thank you, Dolly, for loving these mountains and the people in them so fiercely.

We were always so incredibly proud to call you ours. Today, we are simply heartbroken to say goodbye. 💔

Rest peacefully, Dolly. Your Smoky Mountain home will never be quite the same without you. 🦋

Yesterday, it started feeling like home. 💙🎈

Marc got my balloon shelves up, I set up a temporary inflation station…and then officially broke in the new space by inflating the first balloons.

All 450 of them. 😂

Then came the part I’ve been waiting for!Loading those shelves with all of my balloons and setting up my permanent inflation station. 🙌

There’s still SO much to do, but watching this space slowly turn into Anytime Balloon Designs is pretty dang exciting.

Day 2 of making this place home. 💙

That first supply run for the new studio had one of us literally jumping for joy and one spinning in circles. 😆

🌊The Summer She Turned 15🌊

30 years ago today, we put rings on our fingers and started building a life together. 💙

Today, we get to slip one more ring over those same fingers...only this one happens to hold the keys to our very own studio. 🔑

If you know me, you know I've always been the dreamer. I dream BIG. Sometimes probably a little too big. 😂 And the crazy thing is, the dreams never seem to stop. As soon as one becomes reality, there's another one waiting right behind it.

Over the last 30 years, some of those dreams have worked. Some have failed spectacularly. Some have taken us places we never expected to go.

But through every single one of them, Marc has been there.

He's celebrated the successes with me, consoled me through the failures, talked me off the ledge a time or two, and somehow continues to say, “Okay...how are we going to do this?” when I come to him with the next wild idea.

And this one was a pretty big one. 💙

Yesterday, we started moving our belongings into the new Anytime Balloon Designs studio. Today, on our 30th wedding anniversary, we'll start putting up shelves for my balloon wall, organizing our workspace, and slowly making this place feel like ours.

There is still SO much work ahead of us before we're ready to open the doors. But standing here with the keys to our new home in our hands feels pretty special.

Thirty years ago, we had no idea what our life together would look like.

We certainly didn't know it would include thousands of balloons, a Balloon Bus, and now the keys to our own studio. 😂🎈

But I wouldn't want to chase these crazy dreams with anyone else.

Happy 30th anniversary to us. 💙

Here's to the life we've built, the dreams that got us here, and all the wild ones I haven't even thought of yet.

Because Marc knows they're coming. 😂
