service

This past weekend we had the opportunity to volunteer with Hands on Nashville at Cohn Adult high school. PGSA, an organization I'm involved with through Vanderbilt, sent volunteers and it was such a great experience to be able to help beautify a local school. We painted a handicap ramp and an art classroom.
In light of current events, the presidential election, school, the economy failing, we are trying really hard to not get worried and instead focus on service to others. Somehow when you see the abundant needs of those in your community, it helps you to realize your problems aren't so bad. When we moved to Nashville Jeremy and I really wanted to re-prioritize service as an important aspect of our lives. I think the opportunity to work in the Dominican Republic this summer opened our hearts to God's calling for us to be better servants. Anyway, this week has been busy (as I'm sure all of you can attest to), but it is a good busy. The kind where we get home at night and are thankful for our daily commitments, but also thankful to have eachother and a place to call home. Nashville is finally growing on us and especially the fall weather here (have I mentioned how much I love fall).
Soooo....come visit us!

B&E

It has been beautiful here in Nashvegas this whole week. The boys and I took advantage of the weather by playing outside and going to the dog park. They absolutely love the DP (we have to call it this or else every time we say the whole name Beau freaks out in excitement). We met some super nice people there the other night who have two girl pugs! They were adorable and I'm trying to convince the boys that it's time they met some lady friends...lol. This week has been super busy with work and school so hopefully we will enjoy some relaxation time this weekend!

2nd Wedding

When we renew our vows some day this will be the dress I wear:


This is from NY fashion week and I'm in love (with Jeremy and the dress)!

Football!

So we have to do a football post because all three of our teams won this week...yippee! We LOVE ourselves some football and hopefully one of our teams will go all the way this year. I'm thinking we look prettttty prettyy good (for you Curb your Enthusiasm fans) so far!

Go FALCONS!!!



Go DAWGS!!!

Go Vandy (see below)!!!


We had a great weekend! Friday we saw Pineapple Express and it was pretty funny (not as funny as some of Seth Rogen's other movies, but still hilarious). Saturday we did some shopping (yeah for new work clothes), ate Mexican at Rose Pepper, and watched Black Hawk Down. Have you seen this movie? Wow, it has to be the most intense war movie I have ever seen. I decided that if I ever have to go into the military I definitely want to be in the Rangers...these guys are serious. Oh and of course we watched lots of football and did some yard work. Sunday was beautiful here in Nashville - perfect weather. We have been visiting a new church, Crosspoint Community Church, and we really enjoyed it this past Sunday. The new series is titled "Baggage" and it should be pretty interesting/scary! OH and they sang "From the Inside Out", which is one of our favorite songs AND the song that we taught the Dominicans in Higuey this summer ("Dios eterno, por siempre...") LOVES IT. I think God may be telling us something. Also, I am almost finished with the curtains I made and will post pics. later (gentlemen I'm sure you cannot wait!).

Love to all and have a wonderful week!

Vandy beats USC!!!

Last night we went to Vandy's football home opener against University of South Carolina. It was a ton of fun and we WON! I think this is the first time we have won against a ranked team since the 1930s?!? Anyway, we ran into our neighbors while we were there and ended up sitting together. I was just so excited to be at a school that has football I wanted to post some pics. GO 'DORES!!!
