nashville.

I owe an apology. I have been heavily neglecting my blog. I have a lot of posts to share and I promise they will be coming soon. I will do an update post later this week. 

I thought I should post about mine and Molly's trip to Nashville first, since it's already been a month since we were there.....?! Where did the time even go?? Our lovely friend Andy from Bonaventure was kind enough to let us stay with him. It was great to finally see Nashville and to spend time with him. Bonnaroo was definitely an experience. I got sick while in Nashville, so it kind of put a damper on things at 'roo. But seeing and being so close to Paul McCartney made it all worth it.

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I wanted to on this trip, but managed to capture some videos. As a result, most of these are screen shots from those videos, which are pretty awful quality.

*Moll and I are working on a video of our trip which I will post once it's ready to share.

We met some amazing people and had an amazing time.

I'm honestly elated that Moll and I were able to make this trip happen. It felt like we had talked about it for so long that it no longer seemed real. We worked really hard to make it happen, in addition to the generous help from some friends and family.

I fell in love with Nashville, and maybe I'll be lucky enough to call it home one day.

Until next time Tennessee.
