Hello Narshville!

Well this marks the beginning of our blog! We arrived here in Nashville on Friday, Feb 12 around 6 pm after our 4-day journey across the country. We left Gresham at about 4:00am on Tuesday and drove straight to Eden, Utah where we stayed at a beautiful Trendwest resort. It was set in the mountains by a ski lodge. We had dinner, made some cookies and drank milk by the fire while we played a card game. Wednesday we woke up and hit the road, driving through the beautiful mountains, and ended up in Kearney, Nebraska for the night. Thursday we made it to the Lake of the Ozarks, despite the bickering of the TomTom and Garmin. This was another Trendwest resort and it was beautiful, set on the edge of the lake with a great view. It was definitely off-season because we were the 7th guest to arrive that day when we got there around 9pm. After a workout and a shower we headed to the Wobbly Boot BBQ for an awesome dinner. Friday we finished the trek and made it to Nashville. Praise the Lord we had no flat tires, no car problems, no speeding tickets (although a couple close calls), no accidents, and no running out of gas! We are very thankful to my (our) parents for driving along with us and enduring the driver leg cramps and honey in the hair. It was great to have them along for the ride. We went out downtown Nashville with them on Friday night to a blues place with some good live music and also to the Opryland Hotel on Saturday. We hope that helped convince them to come back and visit!

Well Cody and Ben are super excited to start working on music and get their EP done. We went to the Belmont Rock Showcase last night and saw some great groups! I'm really excited to see what God has in store for them. But as for now, we are house hunting, job hunting, and amp hunting. We looked at a few houses today. There was one that I fell in love with and Cody hated. Haha. Isn't that the way it goes. It is in the process of being fixed up so it was kinda messy and I understand why he didn't see the good in it. It's an older house and needs some decorating, but I think it could be great! And it has a large room that the boys could use for their music and leave everything set up all the time.

Im off to get ready for my Valentines Day date with my hubby... going to Germantown Cafe for dinner! To our Oregon friends and familiy (and WA too), we miss and love you, thanks for your prayers!
