Summertime

Well, it has been quite some time since my last post. We are still here in Nashville, trying not to die from the heat everyday. Not really, but kind of. It's been hot, and only getting hotter. So, we stay indoors for the most part. We are getting a little stir crazy, but hopefully Fall will be here before TOO long.

We have had a little bit of excitement since my last post. My little munchkin lost her first tooth a couple of weeks ago! The toothfairy came and brought her some glittery money! It was a pretty special day!


Our little man got his first haircut! I loved his curls, but it was getting too long, and he was all hot and sweaty all the time, so I let his Daddy shave off all of his adorable baby curls. He is still way to stinking cute, but he looks like a big boy now!



CMA Fanfest week was a couple of weeks ago in Nashville. There were free shows, meet and greats, autograph signings, CMA Fest, and the CMT awards. Basically everyone in the county music industry was in town and performing somewhere. We didn't go to CMA Fest, but I vow to go next year. It sounds like the most amazing thing ever. A 4 day festival of ALL of everyone's favorite country stars. We made it down to Broadway street one of the nights of FanFest, and it was AWESOME. Broadway was shutdown for a few blocks, and there was a giant stage right in the middle of the road. Beer stands everywhere, people giving away free swag, and country music fans everywhere just having a good time. The night we went we saw Thompson Square and Lee Brice, who is one of my favorites. His "Love Like Crazy" is a great song, and you should download it at once.  Rodney Adkins played later that night, but the kids were over it by that point so we didn't catch that show.



I'm looking forward to the 4th of July! Once again, Broadway will be shutdown and Nashville will be celebrating in the streets. Craig Morgan will be playing, as well as the Nashville Symphony, to which the fireworks are choreographed. I think it will be awesome.

We are making friends! Nothing like our friends back home, who we miss SO much. But, our neighbors are pretty awesome. We have had tons, TONS of issues with our apartment, but living around cool people has made it bearable. Luckily one of those new friends is a mechanic. It's always good to have a mechanic in the crew.

Anyway, we are pretty much settled here, and just living our lives like normal. Sometimes I look outside and I can't believe that we actually left Ventura, and live in Tennessee right now. It's a trip. I don't know if we will stay here forever, or where we will end up, but it is an experience. It's cool to live in different places, see different things, and meet different people. I never thought that I would leave Ventura. Ventura just seems perfect in so many ways. But, there are a lot of other cool places out there too! I used to think that the ocean was the only thing that made a place beautiful. SO not the case my friends!
