nashville

We are heading out tomorrow for a toddler-free trip to Nashville! We went last year and just loved the town so decided to go back again. I remember making a blog post and asking for suggestions of things to do or places to eat, and I'm doing it again. So if you know any places you HAVE to go in Nashville, make a comment!

Thanks Gigi and Captain for keeping Brody this weekend!!!



In other news, we have a new family member...

Lil' Debbie! Our 7 week old Bulldog pup!!!


Brody wasn't too sure about her at first but he's warming up now!

blue eyes

never knew I could love someone so much...

busy

If you have noticed, the blogging has seriously slowed down. I'm back in school, and we're crazy busy. Brody is growing like a weed and chatting up a storm. He is such a delight to have in our house, and he gets more and more fun everyday. He's starting to watch every move we make and mimicking us. Gotta watch those little hands and feet behind us! I will make another post soon when I get a chance. Can't wait for next weekend and MSU FOOTBALL!

owwww

Brad teaches baseball lessons after work once a week, and this is what he came home with Monday night...my guess is this was probably his last time to challenge a 10 year old to a race around the bases...

the pictures don't do it justice. The doctor says it's just a sprain thank goodness!

thinking about it...

The other day my sister told me about "Trash the Dress" pictures she saw online. I had never heard of it, but once I got to looking I found tons of photos. It doesn't literally mean to trash it, it just means it's not in a normal, elegant background. I understand the dress is really special and has so much meaning, but how fun would it be to do one of these photo shoots?! Tricia, might be calling you soon!

"Trash the Dress photography uses the elegance and beauty of a bride and her gown against a harsh environment or an artistic background where the subject is strikingly out of place. “It’s that contrast between new and clean, and old and dirty,” says photographer Sam Adams of Everlasting Images in Whitehouse, Ohio. He has done Trash the Dress photo shoots in abandoned railcars, snowy landscapes and windblown fields. “A lot of people are turned off by the term ‘Trash the Dress,’” says Adams, who’s had brides sneak their dresses away for the shoots to avoid anticipated family opposition. “But a lot of times, because we usually end up in the water, the dresses come out cleaner than they were the day of the wedding — and everyone loves the photos afterward.”"

can't wait

for May 2010! Only 9 more months until I finish nursing school and get to start working as an RN! I found this picture and caption. It was 30 years ago in Boston. I understand how they felt...
