My trip to Nashville, or lack of one!

ahh! I made it to Nashville! Hang 10!
My baby being towed by my sister and I on the way back from Nashville!

After ATL, I headed for Nashville, only to make it about 30 minutes North of Chattenooga where my car broke down. I was then picked up by a state trooper and taken to the nearest Walmart near Jasper, TN! Yeah, I was in the boone hick hills of TN! It was fun to ride in the back of the trooper vehicle though! There, I waited for the tow truck company to come pick me up, and upon arrival to my broken down car, my ride showed up. You see, I met a girl through Judith the night before who we stayed with in ATL. She was down for a couple of days on business, and was from Nashville. I happened to have her cell number in my phone because Judith's phone was dead on Friday, and we had to call her to find out where the Hotel was. Anyway, we used my phone to call, and I still had her number.....she was my ride. I stayed with her and her roommates that night and they showed me around Nashville! Fun Fun!

On Sunday, Justin picked me up and we had a wonderful time shopping, eating sushi, hanging out, going to concerts, etc....the rest of my visit. It was sad to have had to leave, but Bethany and I had a fun time towing the car back. The first stop was UHAUL, where the guy helped us fib a little so that we could tow my car behind hers.....so technically we were pulling a Toyota Corolla! haha....country folk....Anyway, the mechanics in Jasper were hilarious, and it took five of us to push my car up onto the dolley. My sister and I agreed that everyone looked related....small town...you get the pic! After getting on the road, I had fun taking some pics, which are viewable under My Pictures. During our part of the trip through ATL, we had a car pile up happen right behind us, and thank God it wasn't us. Then at the end of our trip arriving back in Anderson, we dropped my car off at JP's backyard service....literally....and it took another 5 of us to push my car off the dolley!

Well, my car is now home and being fixed for just over $3000. The engine had thrown a rod, and it went through the engine block plus broke the oil pan. So, I will hopefully have my car back soon! Please, if you think about it, pray that I will have my car working properly for the next few years....I don't need anymore of this! Fun trip though.....Good times!

Girls Day in ATL!

Judith, Whitley, Meredith, and I in ATL at the Aquarium!
Beautiful.....just Beautiful!

Whit and I with our Daquiris at P.F.Changs....mmmm...yummy!

Imogen Heap in Atlanta....Five Points!

Girls day in Atlanta was a blast! The four of us had an awesome time visiting the Georgia Aquarium, and especially the part where I was hit on by a 15 year old, and also when Meredith told a group of young boys that I liked them! haha, and it just got better from there!

P.F.Changs was are next stop. Mere once again had fun messing with a young boy who was our food runner. She told him that I liked him, but he was a great sport about it. Then Whit and I were enjoying our virgin Daquiries when I decide to be smooth, and spill my full one on the booth....almost on me and Whit! I still think Whit slipped a little something in it! (wink);)

From there, we headed to Five Points to see Imogen Heap! She was beautiful and captivating with her music! It was a lot of fun, but by the end of the day, we were pooped and ready to go to bed. After Mere and Whit left to go back to Anderson, Judith and I were stuck trying to find the hotel we were supposed to stay at, and then decided to hit up a little IHOP....stuffed french toast! mmmm....good! It is amazing what food can do for you when you are in a pissy mood! Anyhow, it was a great day, and much needed!

Happy Birthday Shout Out!


My sister Charity turned 24 on May 17! Happy Birthday sis! Much love, and we had a blast at her party!......In this picture, Charity is holding up the presents from Bethany, showing that Beth ran out of wrapping paper! haha....my family!....silly!

Shopping Trip!


Well, for those of you who don't know, I have three brothers (Nolon 6, Cason 10, Jaron 14). Two of their birthdays were in April, and one was in February.....so I finally was able to take them shopping back in May for those birthdays! Anyhow, these are the final outfits picked out by them with a little sister help! We had a lot of fun at the Mall of Georgia, and they definitely wore me out! They look innocent, but are far from it! haha....jk!

God has been teaching me a lot on how important it is to spend time with family. They are the ones that will always be there throughout your life......I am learning that fast!
