Nashville Star

   Last weekend Keith and I flew to Nashville unexpectedly for a funeral. Nashville had never been on my radar as a place I wanted to visit, but we thought we would take the opportunity to explore the city for a day before the funeral. We were looking for something fun and not overly "touristy" to do. I had no interest in the Country Music Hall of fame and I'm pretty sure I would have had to drag Keith in kicking and screaming. We spent the day wandering around the city, and lucked up with amazing tickets to see Keith Urban at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday night. We skipped the 1st hour of the show because we didn't know the performers and thought we might hate it...

Delightful!

     Surprisingly, Keith enjoyed the concert so much that he bought front row tickets for us to go back the very next night to see Brad Paisley & Luke Bryan! He brought his cousins Philip & Abby along too. Abby & I had an awesome time, she touched Luke Bryan 3 times and was so excited about it. We took so many videos and pictures with our regular camera, but all you get is the crappy iPhone pictures :p

You can't see that Luke Bryan is behind us b/c of the lights :(

Love me some Brad Paisley...

Keith & I before the Opry

     We didn't get in from the concert until very late, somehow we managed to get a flat tire on the way home... The next morning we had to get up early to get ready for Keith's uncles funeral. His uncle was only 59 and passed away of stomach cancer (it's actually his second cousin, but he was more like an uncle) Funerals are always so terribly sad...a few words that the pastor said really stuck with me. He said that Keith's uncle had an infectious enthusiasm for life and that people were drawn to him because of it. Keith is exactly the same way! Of course, we were reminded to never take one second of life for granted. After leaving the funeral we headed directly back to the airport, but I did make Keith slow down to snap a picture of the beautiful Dogwood trees that were in bloom everywhere!

Beeeeeeeeeaaauuutttiiifffuuullllll

   And of course, you need a goodbye kiss picture....

smooch!

   We got exciting news today that we are soon getting a nephew from my baby brother. We have been waiting for weeks to find out what they are having. 


   Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for... NEW YORK! Keith booked an amazing room with a terrace and I COULD. NOT. BE. MORE. EXCITED! I'll be boring you with those pictures very soon!
