Summer 2011

Hello everyone! It's true, it has been nearly an eternity since we last brought you up to date with our happenings via this blog. We've never claimed to be good at this thing, but we really do want to share our lives with you all in this way! So without much ado, let the update BEGIN!

We have been up to all kinds of fun these past few weeks! Seth and Emily came for a visit, we moved, we bought a washer and dryer and have been enjoying some fun activities!

The week we moved, Seth and Emily came for a quick visit. They were driving some foundry art work from Walla Walla to Mississippi, stopped to see us and then went on to New York. A cross county trek for sure! As always, we had a wonderful time with them. We ate all kinds of good food; pancakes from the Pancake Pantry, ribs from Rippy's, and an all you can eat southern feast at Monell's.

After Seth and Emily left Navhille it was time for us to move! We loaded up a moving tuck and moved to our new place. It was so much work, but we spread it out over a few days. Everything went smoothly and we are settling in our new place nicely. We still are trying to find places for everything, but we are really liking it so far!

We needed a few things to complete our new home! Check out the new household goods!

Tim can finally have his desk back, because we got an actual dining room table:

Some other things we have been up to this summer (much more fun than moving):

We had heard about Rollerderby and finally got a chance to see what it is all about! It turned out so be such a fun, exticing time. The Nashville Team is really good! All of the players have fun, edgy names like Four Leaf Roller, Nix & Bruses, Hilda Beast and Killah B. Killed. We came up with our own Rollerderby names.

L to R: Keller Instinct (Kelsey), Cruelia Child (Heather), Melicious Intent (Melanie), ElizaBitch (Elizabeth), and The InTIMidator (Tim).



For the 4th of July, we went downtown and went to a free concert and enjoyed some amazing fireworks! We heard this really great group, The Cleaverlys, check them out here:

We went to the Harpeth river and canooed. Oh my goodness, it was so much fun! Tim and I definitely make a good canoneing team! Watch out!





Overall this summer has been amazing! We have spent at lot of time with great friends, eating tons of great food and finding so much happiness every step of the way!
