weekend.

slight change of plans and two posts in one day (crazy)! i'm going to nashville this weekend. i'm sad i won't be at girl talk tonight, BUT i will just jam on the road and close my eyes and pretend that i am at the concert!

i'm going to nashville to watch my brother run the full marathon and some other friends run the half! crazy...i think it is insane that a human can run 26.2 miles. that is 26.2 miles more than i can i run. kidding but really. he and some friends are running the marathon to support two families in the process of adopting some little haitian kids. their organization is one less. the process has been long, and this is a way to help and support the families. i am so excited for him and the families and what their future looks like. bring those babies home! here is a little article about the whole shin dig. and if anyone reading wants to help in anyway read along and find out how! this weekend will be fun for all! cheers to the runners.

-here are some of the runners from the race in knoxville.

all those pretty lights.

usually when i am in nashville i go to a concert, roam the streets filled with shops, and wish it was my home...which it will be one day! but this time, my friend jenn and i visited a friend who is living there for the summer. we explored the parts we have never seen before and shared many many laughs! we saw the beautiful skyline of nashville all lit up, tried new, delicious restaurants...burger up,(if you are ever in nashville GO THERE!) pied piper ice cream,(so many different flavors)and zoe's kitchen(fresh food at its finest). the last night we were there we decided to be 'nashville tourists'. so we put on our dancing shoes and went square dancing! our friend jessie joined in for the fun night ahead. walking down broadway you pass bar after bar with live music spilling out onto the streets, cowboy boot stores, and little souvenir shops filled with country memorabilia. in the heart of downtown is where we ended up in a little place called wildhorse saloon. it was so fun to be complete tourists in music city and see why it really is the music capitol. it was sad to see this adventure come to an end, but i know there will be many more.
