The Next Step and Nashville Take One

My sweet man is off to Boston to run the last leg of his race towards one of his dreams - the completion of months of online classes, balancing two full time jobs with school and adjusting to life as a family of three. All while I have switched jobs, twice, and attempted to hold down the home-front.  It's been a long road, and took a tremendous amount of sacrifice, courage and discipline. I am incredibly proud of him, and very excited that the journey is nearing an end.

To kick off the time without our man around, the girl and I decided to jet off to Nashville to meet my folks for the weekend. Last night we strolled along Broadway Street downtown, listing from the sidewalk to a multitude of Nashville hopefuls perform in bar after bar, poking through shops with row after row of ornately stitched and cut cowboy boots that were more works of art than foot apparel, and finally dining at Joe's Crab Shack where we discovered the little one adores shrimp! :)



She wasn't so sure about the cowboy hat...

Could someone PLEASE tell me what this vehicle is?? I mean, I grew up in NM where we have ALL kinds of "lowriders" but this? This was new to me!

Shrimp are SO delicious!



This little girl is not normally a hand holder...melted Mama's heart!



And what could be better than waking up to snuggles in bed while watching cartoons? And holding the remote, of course?!?
SUCH a diva!
