Nashville Weekend


Last month we ventured to Nashville to visit our friends The Laysons and attend the "Jorts and Chicken" Party. Let's just say it was one of the best parties ever and we the boys determined their shorts and outfits were too long and WAY too conservative. We're already planning for next year. If you want to see more pictures from the party check out their website!

We took the day off of work Friday and left early that morning so we could shop and not be rushed. I couldn't go to Nashville without hitting up Trader Joe's and the Green Hills Mall. We ate lunch at Cheesecake factory...Yum!

That night we ventured to East Nashville and had dinner at Rose Pepper. They seriously have the best food and margaritas!!! The ride home was very interesting. We relied on the iPhone GPS. What should have taken us about 10-15 mins ended up being about 45! Thanks Scott for putting up with Sarah and Jared's directions. We ended the night with a serious game of Quelf. If you haven't played it run don't walk to the store and purchase it ASAP! 



Quelf...sooo much fun!

Trouble Take Two!

Let's just say that the night ended with Sarah beating some girl in a dance off and the girls sleeping in one bed and the boys in another! Sooo much fun! Can't wait for our next trip to Nashvegas!

Race Recap: Cooper Young 4 Miler

Last Friday night was the Cooper Young 4 Miler. It's one of my favorite races in Memphis for many reasons. One being that it's on a Friday night so I don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning. The second reason is that it probably has the best spectators ever! The course loops through the CY neighborhood and most people have parties in their front yards and yell and cheer the runners on the whole time! Jared's family and my family came and cheered Ashlee and I on from the patio of Celtic Crossing which works well for them because we pass by there twice during the race. i wish I had more race pictures but I haven't mastered running and taking pics at the same time. I did however improve my race time tremendously. I'm shooting for 8 minute miles next year!
