back then out again

Hillary and I were in Nashville, TN this past weekend and it was a good time. Hillary had lived there 3 years before coming to St. Louis so she has a lot of friends there, many of whom we got to see. We stayed with a couple who had 13mo old twin boys and they were a blast. They don't necessarily talk but just make a lot of noise back and forth. We went to Station Inn and heard some live blue grass, which was a first time for me. The band, Town Mountain, was really good and it was neat to see the amazing banjo and mandolin playing.

Saturday was a low key morning. We went shopping (tax free in TN for weekend) before we had our final fundraising gathering. It was encouraging just to share what we are headed towards and where God is leading us. In working on various details it is easy to loose sight of why God is leading us to CT and what he is calling us to do. Hillary's friends (whom I am getting to know better now) were encouraging as they asked thoughtful questions and prayed for us at the end. We were both glad to have gone down though it was a little sad towards the end as Hillary said goodbye because we're not sure when we'll be back in Nashville.

Hey Jarrett! I found you. That pesky indefinite article was the problem. I kept looking for "reciprocal exchange." Good title, by the way.

I look forward to tracking your goings-on on a regular basis. I might even live vicariously through you from time to time, if that's ok. Especially the rock climbing parts.
