Yay for Fridays

Today is Friday! Although, yesterday felt like Friday, so I guess it doesn’t really matter! We are still enjoying Tennessee, Josiah flew in to get his wisdom teeth out, so I guess I am probably enjoying it just a little bit more than he is!

1- Franklin. There is something special about your home town. I love coming back and exploring.

Dinner with Dad & Cathleen- We went to Urban Grub in Nashville. I had not been there since it opened and had some fabulous mac & cheese. I didn’t branch out far but it was delicious.

#ibelieveinnashville- This sign is all over instagram and last time I was here I didn’t get a photo in front of it. So I made Dad & Cathleen pull over so we could get a photo. Dad wasn’t as keen but Cathleen was!

Mexican with these kids- I have watched them all grow up and I love getting to go to my favorite Mexican place and spend time with all of them!

5- Wisdom Teeth- This guy got his wisdom teeth out yesterday. The pain is kicking in more and I am praying he keeps doing well! Speaking from experience teeth pain is not fun!

Tennessee so Far

I love taking trips to Tennessee in the summer but it is never a vacation. I try to jam pack as much into a week as I possibly can. When I get back to Texas I am utterly exhausted! I work in the office during the week so I only have nights and weekends as well. Lots to fit in!

Of course this weekend was spent at the pool. I am so thankful that there was beautiful weather!

The American Girl Doll store is now opened up and my sister and I took a trip. (Pardon the selfies). The dolls are even cooler than when we had them

I went out to lunch with my Mom and my sister.

Sunday we had brunch at a local Pancake place where you have the griddle on your table and make your own.

Monday night I stopped by a house of a family I used to babysit. This little one is now 9 (!!) and I watched her when she was a newborn. I loved catching up with them!

Here sister is now 13 (!!) and I watched her starting when she was 2. It is crazy how they all grow up!

I am still enjoying Tennessee and lots more to do and see!

Tennessee Trip [Post 1]

Mom’s birthday was on Sunday and I surprised her at dinner that Saturday night. She had no idea I was coming and was shocked. I was so excited to be able to surprise her like that.

Fall weather is out and about in Tennessee. It hasn’t reached Texas yet but I got to enjoy some fall while I was in Tennessee.

PumpkinFest was Saturday in Franklin and I was so excited to get to go. Mom and I went and walked around. I was able to get some kettle corn (I love kettle corn!) and an amazing crepe from a food truck. You have to get to PumpkinFest really early because it gets c.r.a.z.y crowded.

Everyone gets their picture taken in front of this pumpkin statue thing. Or at least it seems like it

After PumpkinFest I headed to Nashville to see my sister finish her last leg of the Ragnar. It is a multi-person relay that starts in Chattanooga and finishes in Nashville. You have teams of 12 (or Ultra teams of 6) and each person runs 3 legs (or 6 if an ultra). They start Friday morning and finish Saturday evening and Kendra ran 21.5 miles total. One of her legs was at some crazy hour of 3 or 4 in the morning!

We took finishing photos with her. You can’t see from the photo but I am making sure my arm is not touching her in the back, haha. It was unseasonable warm!

Mom came too and we got a group photo. I am pretty proud of her!
