NashVegas

The last week of our life was spent basking in the glory of being out of our normal element, soaking in as much time as we could with people we love and adore.

We went to Nashville, baby!

My heart is full every time we visit.

Maybe it's the feel of the city.  Maybe it's the people we know there.  Either way, my heart soars every time we are there.

Andrew spent most of his time with his cohort.  They had a reunion - holla! If we could all have yearly reunions with people like that, our lives would be more full.

Cooper and I spent most of our time with Cheryl.  C, we love you and are so thankful we got to have fun with you and make some great memories.

We laid in the hammock.

We played.

We had escapades in Nashville.

We went to the zoo.

We visited aunt Wilma.

Cooper and I also got the opportunity to spend an evening with the whole fam.  Cooper sat and ate dinner with Rhonda, Madison, and Reiley.  I decided that is a scene I should probably get used to.  My son surrounded by girls.  I basked in the glory of Cooper being occupied by others' company and I had some real adult conversation.  Glor. i. ous.

I also got the chance to have some time away with Andrew and Frank.  Frank is from Mississippi, and he has a thick southern drawl.  Whenever Andrew talks to Frank on the phone, I know who it is because of the very thick accent on the other end of the phone. There were a bunch of prom goers out that night, so we made sure to score a prom photo op, too.

Nashville, we love you.  Nashville family and friends, we love you more.

We are now back to reality, though.  And today's reality: on the perfect day to sleep in a little, Coop is up at 6 am.

PS. How in the world is it already May?
