Unpacking and the Anniversary

When we got to the apartment on Saturday morning, it was already hot outside and we were NOT looking forward to unloading the entire truck. But the truck wasn't going to unload itself so piece by piece we emptied it. It was quite a bit of work to find homes for our 2-bedrooms worth of stuff in a one-bed townhouse. After a few loads to the dumpster and a couple big loads to the nearest Goodwill, we made it in! I'll put a few pictures of the apartment down below. We explored Vanderbilt one afternoon and found Heather a good Vandy shirt to wear around now. Cami, we found a burrito place that seems to be related to Chipotle, called Qdoba. It's just like Chipotle but a little bigger and better! Oh yeah!!! We'll be just fine down here!

Yesterday was our first anniversary! We had a great day together. We made a delicious breakfast, ate some of our wedding cake, and went to see a movie (Julie & Julia) which was pretty cute! And for dinner we went out to a good steakhouse in downtown Nashville. Seth and Emily gave us a gift certificate to Jimmy Kelly's Steakhouse as a graduation gift so we used it last night. After a couple of the best steaks we've ever had, we drove all around downtown to check out the Saturday night hustle and bustle of the city. It gets pretty busy down there but we are both really excited to check out the nightlife sometime soon!

We are still searching for a job for Heather and will continue to search vigilantly until we find the right job for her. Please continue to pray for us that we would find the right job soon. I am getting very excited to start school in a few weeks! It will be refreshing to be reminded of why we moved oh so far away from home. Now check out some pictures!

Best Friends...
