My Sister's Visit to Nashville

My sister Gabby came to visit us in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She came with us when we drove back from Atlanta. It was fun to show her our apartment, Nashville, and just spend some time with her. We took a day trip to Nashville to show her the sites. For lunch we went to the Hard Rock Cafe here. She had this awesome drink with a fruit salad on the top side of the glass. We hit some of the shops on Broadway and we ate White Castle burgers, they were delicious. It was really good to spend some time with my little sister. Technically, she should be younger sister since she is taller than me now but she will always be my little sister. Love you lots Gabby.

Atlanta Trip

At the end of May, we took a mini weekend trip to Atlanta ON May 27th-May 29th. My step brother Sergi graduated from high school. We drove down to Georgia to spend some time with my dad and his family. It was fun, my little sister Gabby was down there too so I got to see her. It had been a year since we saw each other, so it was a good time.

We also got to spend some time with Jason's dad and his fiance. That Saturday we went to Six Flags White Water Park. It was a water park with a lot of water slides. I like water slides, but cannot ride roller coasters. I am a wimp, Gabby, Sergi, and Jason talked me into riding this ride called the Tornado. You sit in a inner tube for four people and ride down this tube which drops you drastically and then you swing back and forth in this tunnel. I was so terrified, I crouched down the whole time and screamed. It was so scary, but after I was amazed I did it and survived.

Recent News

So, I got called as Primary Secretary in our ward, it has been such a joy to be with the little children of the ward. They really do have a sweet spirit and really teach me new things each week. I love it. Our Nashville Predators made it into the playoffs for the first time in awhile. We have loved following them lately. They started a new thing with a raffle so we woke up early Monday morning May 9th and got tickets for the raffle. I have never won anything in my life when it comes to competitions. But, lo and behold, I won and was the ninth person to get the chance to win $10 tickets. They were of course at the top but it was such a fun game. We ended up losing and are now out of the playoffs but it was such a fun year. Go Preds Go!!! As we left the game and got back to the car, some guy had hit my car but luckily he was honest and stayed to tell me he hit me and we exchanged insurance. It is nice to know that there are honest people in this world.

Our crazy weekend

On Friday we went to the last home game of the regular hockey season for the Nashville predators. We got some good tickets for Jason's birthday and had a great time. During the beginning of the game the glass in between the players and the fan broke somehow so they had to duct tape it so we could start the game. Also, we had some fan throw a catfish onto the ice and the refs did not do anything about it for awhile. How in the world does someone sneak in a fish past security was my question.

During one of the intermissions we had the singer from the group Alabama sing. It was pretty cool. Nashville predators did not play very well but they came out with a win 4-1. The only reason we stayed in the game was the goalie who made 44 saves.

Also, this morning we went to a driving range and hit golf balls around. Unfortunately the weather here is 80 degrees and humid. I am not the best at swinging at things but it was fun. Tonight we are going to a party for Jason's industrial organization group so it should be fun. Life is good, hope your all doing well as well.

Nashville Predators Game-March 10, 2011

So, its been awhile since I have updated our blog. Life has been really busy with school and work. I work at a preschool and caught the flu and gave it to Jason so the last part of February we were fighting the flu. We had spring break the week of March 10th and really wanted to go to a NHL hockey game for the Nashville Predators. We found out that you can go stand in line and the first 100 tickets are only ten dollars on game nights for the Nashville Predators. Unfortunately, we got there late and we were number 102 and 103. So we splurged and bought tickets that were really close to the rink.

We went to the game on March 10th and had a blast. The played the Minnesota Wild, this was our first NHL game so we had a lot of fun. I had a laugh at the lady that sat next to me because she kept calling the puck a ball, the goalie a stopper and all sorts of weird lingo. We enjoyed a funnel cake and only in Nashville will you hear country at a hockey game. Every time the team scored Tim McGraw's song I love it would play. It was fun.

Our First Christmas Together

We went to Virginia this Christmas to be with Jason's family. We spent two weeks there. I got to see Washington D.C., ride the metro, see the Washington D.C Temple and see snow on Christmas night. We also had fondue with peanut oil and all kinds of meat, onions, and cauliflower at the grandparents house which was amazing, very tasty. We had a good time being with family and just enjoying the holiday season.

When we went to D.C. I got to ride up to the top of the Washington Monument and see the amazing view for there. Also saw the Lincoln Memorial, the National History Museum, Air and Space Museum, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (basically where they print money). It was pretty cool, on our way to the National History Museum we saw a squirrel sitting on top of a trash can eating a granola bar. It was pretty funny. The Metro system there is pretty cool, but you definitely need to pay attention to where your going. In Union Station we had some amazing Great Steak Sandwiches, they were amazing.

On our way home from Washington D.C. we stopped by IKEA to see if they had an end tables for our living room. We found two tables in the AS IS section for $3 a piece. We spent our Christmas break painting our tables black. It was a fun project and now they are in our living room.
