Spring!

Happy first day of Spring, everyone! Today, we put the screens back in the windows so that we can enjoy fresh air and keep the bugs out. :-) It was so refreshing to see the sun and be able to spend time outside! I was also able to pick some daffodils from underneath our pine trees and out in our back woods. Spring is here!

Nashville

On Tuesday, my family and I were able to go to Nashville to see my older sister and my nephew. We had quite a wonderful time visiting Trader Joe's, the Parthenon, and Noshville, a delicious restaurant. We also got to hear the band Barefoot Truth; they were quite good!

My brother, historical guru that he is, informed me that the steps of the Parthenon are purposefully designed to be a bit of a stretch for the average person so that one bows as they go up the step. Who knew?

All the comforts of home.....

I've often said that Bono is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. However, he is smart enough to know comfort when he sees it. The little sneak! Just goes to show that I don't need to let any pillows stay on the floor. :)

School Spring Formal

Last Saturday, my mom and I went to a "Prom Dress for Haiti" event at the downtown Emporium. The women of Knoxville donated approximately 600 formal dresses to be cleaned and then sold to raise money for Haiti. A few of my classmates had been talking about the event, so I decided to go and just see what was there. I'd kind of been dreading having to look for a dress, simply because I wasn't sure if I could find one that was cute and would fit the school standards. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My mom and I prayed before we began looking, just that God would guide us to the right dress for me. The last dress I tried on was the one. I'm so happy with it!!

Techinical troubles

I appear to be having technical trouble with my blog, so please just bear with me for a little bit while it all gets straightened out. Thanks!
