I'm here!

I am finally in Nashville.  I have been unloading boxes for the last few days.  I have almost called Goodwill several times to just come and get it and have there way with it all.  Some of it has been fun though.  Like pulling all of my things to put around the house out of the box and unwrapping them.  It's been almost six months since I've seen any of it so it all felt like new again.  I love my little antiques.  I just have random stuff that I love..."weird and unusual stuff"...those are the exact words of one of the movers that helped me unload my truck when I got to Nashville.  I didn't know if I should be offended or flattered!  :-)  There are tons of antique stores around here and fun little boutiques with cool stuff.  I can't wait to go look around...without my wallet!  I will go back when I'm not so excited and prone to spend excessively!  Ha.  

The view from my balcony is so beautiful!  I live off of Old Hickory...there are lots and lots of hills and I am on the top floor so I can see for miles.  I took this picture with my phone...it doesn't really do it justice but there it is.




I will post more pics when I finish decorating and get everything in it's place.  But for now I just thought I'd let you know that I finally made it!

I have a home!

I finally found a place to live in Nashville!  AND....I love it!!!!!  I wanted a two bedroom so when people come to see me...which will hopefully be often :-)...I can have a place for them to stay.  I also wanted a two bedroom so I can do all of my artsy/creative things and not have to drag everything out every time I want to work on something.  It comes with a washer and dryer...has a fireplace...and a storage "room" inside the apartment.  Most places don't offer the storage, unless it's a tiny closet off the balcony, and never do you find a place with a washer and dryer unless you have to pay extra for them.  The storage room will house my vast collection of Christmas decorations...I'm a little over the top with Christmas time and decorating but it's just who I am and I'm not apologizing for it!  :-)   I am super excited.  The Lord totally worked everything out and I am so relieved to be done with that process!   Now I just have to get all of my things, load them up in a Uhaul, and head back this way.  I am going to Montrose, CO in the morning...6am flight YUCK...and then home on Saturday to spend time with my family until I leave for Nashville.  I'll post more pics of Gage soon and Harper...they are the best.  I can't imagine our family without them now...they're such a blessing!  Everyone have fun tomorrow celebrating freedom!
