Nashville

I know I'm a week late in posting our trip to Nashville but here it is. The drive to Nashville is always so pretty. We got to my Tommy & Erin's house right when dinner was ready. Great timing... Yeah us! Tommy cooked this great pasta dish, It was very yummy. I need to get that recipe. Jacob also sustained another injury. We brought his pack n' play with us but my Mom insisted he sleep with her. (Jason & I both warned her it was a bad idea) As soon as she put him on the bed he crawled across it and over he went hitting the night stand on the way down giving him a purple eye.

Anywho, I must say I was impressed by Tommy's cooking, actually I was impressed by Erin's cooking too...She cooked us made to order omelets Saturday morning. They were both great host and great cooks. Saturday we of course headed to Music Row and saw the "Nashville" sites. Jason hasn't been to Nashville since the Wild Horse Saloon was being built. On the way down town we drove by Vince Gill and Amy Grant's house, I didn't take a picture. I kinda think it's rude. Their at home for Christ sake...leave em alone. He does have a putting green in his front yard which I found very odd but whatever.

I tried to get my mom a new boyfriend. He was so nice & cute. He gave us his parking pass that still had time on it so we didn't have to pay to park.

We walked around saw the Rymen Auditorium, went in a few shops and then walked into the Wild Horse Saloon for a drink, Jake in tow. We had no idea but the CMT reality show "Can you Duet" was having their final rehearsal before the finale show that night live at the WHS. Jacob got his picture taken with Meghan Linsey from the group Steel Magnolia who later won the competition along with her partner Joshua Jones.

We ate dinner at this cute little restaurant in the Village and went home to watch Can you Duet. We all wanted to know if Jacob's new girlfriend was gonna win. Sunday we hung around the house a while before packing up and heading home.

To Tommy and Erin thank you again for the invitation, you have a lovely home and we look forward to visiting again.

This past weekend we did a little house cleaning and grocery shopping, not much to write home about. I went through all party supplies one last time to write down all that I still need. I don't need much, most of what is left is stuff that will need to be done last minute i.e. food, balloons and cake. Jake turned 11 months old last Wednesday. I have tried to ignore this fact because it is really such a heart break. It has gone by too fast. My best advise....Don't blink.

We don't have much planned for this week work, school for Jason and house work. Does anyone know how to get spit up out of carpet? This weekend we will be going to Phenix City to see Ray, Jason's parents and friends. It will be the last time we go down before Jacob's 1st birthday party. Tear.
