Thursday 13

Brad and I have been in constant prayer mode the past couple of weeks. His graduation is in.....drumroll please....5 weeks! That translates to exactly 37 days from today! So, we are trying to seek the Lord and His perfect direction on a job for Brad, which inevitably means a move. I will write more about this once we know more details, but do please keep us in your prayers as we try to figure out the next step on our journey. I do fear that our next home will be in a land far, far away.....

But until then, I want to live it up in Nashville! I started out being a little cold and uneasy about being here, but Nashville has really grown on me and I love it here now. it will surely be sad to go (if we do end up leaving) but there are a few things I have to make sure we do before we leave! I can't believe we have been here for 3 years and havent done some of these things. I guess when you live somewhere, you dont take advantage of the goods like tourists do. Oh well, that is all about to change!

1. Eat at the Bluebird Cafe

2. Go line dancing at the Wild Horse Saloon!

3. Buy my very own pair of cowboy boots, and actually wear them.

4. Visit the Opryland Hotel at Christmas time. (I have done this before, but not since we have lived here)

5. Eat at the Loveless Cafe

6. Walk around downtown and photograph the city. I want to create a photo book for every city we live in, because I think there will be some good cities along the way. Atlanta- check! Nashville-check! what's next..?

7. Go to a Titans game. I actually hate football, but I feel like we should go to one game since we live here, you know?

8. Drive part of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Now would be a fabulous time to go...maybe this weekend actually...

9. Picnic in Centennial park. This never gets old.

10. Visit the Frist Center for Visual Arts

11. Walk across the walking bridge in downtown.

12. Ride the General Jackson showboat.

13. Buy a really fabulous print from Hatch Show Print. Possibly go to the Country music hall of fame to see their exhibit, but definitely buy a print. Perfect way to take a little bit of Nashville with us when we go...
