Nashville

I have officially joined the REAL world! I started work two Mondays ago and traveled to Nashville last week to work in the firm's office there for a few days. The office is in Brentwood right next to the Starbucks where Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman apparently get their coffee. I didn't see them but I am going back next month and will be on the look out! I got to stay with Camille, which was so much fun. I hope I didn't wear out my welcome...you know what they say about guests...they are like fish and start to stink in three days! Camille just bought a condo and it was so much fun to get to see it and her life in Nashville. She lives across the street from the most amazing coffee shop...Star Bagel...yummy! Sadly, I didn't take any pictures! But this is a picture of me and Camille from awhile back!

More Fair Pictures

I have posted some pictures that Leigh Allyn took at the Fair last week. This is what we do all day....watch horse races and chair races! For those of you who have never been to the Fair --there is nothing quite like a chair race. Every afternoon after the horse races are finished there is a chair race. People line up with folding chairs at gates and then rush to claim their spots for the concert. You can see some cabins in the background.....my favorite place on earth!

The past few days have really been a whirlwind. I finished the bar exam on Thursday. Tornado sirens were going off as I left the exam. The sirens were still going off when Oliver and I packed up the car and headed down to the Fair. We had such a great time and ended up having great weather. We had some great porch time and got to catch up with so many good friends. It is literally the only place I can stay up till the wee morning hours and sleep in. We missed the Fair last year and were really blown away by how much some of the kiddos had grown up. Coleman barely remembered Oscar (aka Oliver). Doesn't Coleman look happy that there is such a cute girl between him and Oscar???


We got back to Memphis on Saturday afternoon. I thought the plan was to go eat with Patrick's parents who are visiting from Georgia. We walk into May's house and the room is packed with my family and friends. May and Lisa had thrown me a SURPRISE PARTY. It is the only party I think anyone has every thrown just for me! Well, that last sentence isn't exactly true....Oliver just reminded me it was for Sis too! ANYWAY--it was wonderful and thank you both so much!
