So at last…I’ve got some time to give an update on our life! (Aren’t you excited?!) Much has happened since the last update, but I’ll try to be quick about it.
1. Vacation=Amazing! We finally got away for a week out of Greenville…and out of the state…yes! Vacation wasn’t incredibly fancy this year…but it was awesome. We stayed for a few days in Nashville with our good friends, the Shandley’s. Nashville’s great, but I don’t think I’d want to live there. We spent a night in Opryland and then did all of the typical tourist stuff. The best part was our visit to the Ryman Auditorium (the original Grand Ol’ Opry House). We got to stand in the same spot as Johnny Cash…and Minnie Pearl…and Patsy Cline. It was…in one word…fantabulous. We also headed down to Georgia to visit Nicole and Steve Cox. (Here’s my quick shout-out to you, Nicole!) I haven’t actually gotten to hang out with her for more than like 2 hours in years….and it was way overdue! We had fun hanging out and playing games and just relaxing, but we did some tourist stuff too. Jared spent most of an entire day at Guitar Center drooling over drumsets while Steve was at work (he works there)…and Nicole and I hit up IKEA and some other fun stores. We went to Six Flags over Georgia one day…and it was way better than Six Flags St. Louis. They have double the coasters…so it doubly fun! We also went to the World of Coca Cola. If you go to Atlanta…then you must go….and try to the Apple soda from Mexico. Anyway…point being…vacation was fantastic. (Though we did manage to bring back some nasty allergies with us…but we’re getting better!)
2. Wedding. I was in a wedding the first day of our vacation..down in Nashville. It was so much fun! Our dresses were great…and the wedding was beautiful. I think that some day…I’d love to be a wedding planner…I forgot how much fun wedding planning is.
3. Cats. Maxwell and Eleanor are getting along now. It’s been a long first few weeks for them…but somehow…while we were gone….they decided to get along. We had a friend babysit them…and he gave us updates all week. They’re so cute together now. They’re always together…and I’m pretty sure they’re plotting to take over the world. (Or at least our house.)
4. Birthday. Jared turned the big 2-7 yesterday. We had a nice day. We went to see cars and I gave him his gifts. (A new smoker grill and a Dremel….he was pleased.) We had ice cream cake too…I’m always looking for an excuse to buy an ice cream cake!
Anyway…I’ll wrap this up for now….I really should be catching up with work! More later….adios!
