Brittney’s Wedding
Here’s a round-up of some fun from Brittney’s wedding in June. It was such a privilege to be the matron of honor. Everything was beautiful, especially Brittney, and besides the intense heat, things pretty much went off without a hitch. We are SO happy for Brittney and Dupree…we just wish they would go for the [...]
Nashville fun
We had a wonderful trip to Nashville around Labor Day. The weather was shockingly not hot which was such a blessing. We were hit with the humidity when we exited the airport, but it didn’t bother us again. During the trip, we were quite busy, but we had a great time visiting with family and [...]
Christmas Post
We have returned from our former home to our new home. The break was long and quite nice, almost the perfect number of days. We spent a lot of time with family and a little time with a lot of friends. Here are a few highlights (starting with a non-highlight) from our trip. 1. We [...]
Back at it and baby time
After a long hiatus from my little sewing projects (almost entirely due to the discovery of gardening), I finally got back at it. I cut out all the pieces for this pink ball back before gardening season hit, but I never got around to sewing it. I knew I wanted to make a ball for [...]
How lovely
We had a big surprise on Sunday – a huge going away party from our church friends and family! Courtney told us we were having a ‘youth worker’ lunch, but little did we know that she and Carla were instead planning a big potluck for us. Here’s the picture from when we walked in. Our [...]
Back in the swing…
We’re back, and in some ways it feels like we never left. I guess that’s how things are when you face the daily monotony of office jobs (which we are thankful for of course). Anyway, we had a great time! Excluding my terrible trials with allergies, the trip went really well. We’re still going through [...]
How long have I lived here?
In my 25 years in Nashville, I’m not sure I had ever been on the Natchez Trace (except the big bridge) until about a week and a half ago. To celebrate the amazing weather, we went camping at the Meriwether Lewis area on the Trace. There were only a few others there, so it was [...]
Nashville is friendly!
Yay! The English only amendment was defeated. We are known as a friendly city, and I’m glad we can remain that way. Besides, Nashville would have been the largest city by far to have passed such a bill… Check out this article if you want to read more (sorry I can’t make it a link). [...]
An “English Only” Nashville?
Nashville is currently holding a special election to decide if all metro government business should be conducted only in English (even though English is currently the official language of Tennessee). The second item to be voted upon is whether these (expensive) special elections could be held with only 1% of registered voters’ signatures (currently it’s [...]
