The first half of the week, I had to work, so Stewart played wife at home and did all the house chores like laundry, dinner and much more. I am married to the best guy ever; he is always willing to help me if he can. When I got off work on Wednesday Stewart and I packed our bags and prepared for our trip to Tennessee, the next day. That’s right, we decided to take a trip to Tennessee and see one of my cousins who is living there. We had a great time seeing Kent and Jackie along with there three handsome boys. Since Kent was working on Friday Jackie, and her boys came with Stewart and I to Nashville to go exploring. We stopped at the Zoo, a park with a replica of the Parthenon, and to the Grand Ole Opry. We had a great time exploring the sights of Nashville. I have a sister who is serving a mission in Nashville, TN right now. Stewart and I thought it would be fun to take her and her comp out to dinner while we were there, but her mission president denied us permission to see her. So instead of seeing her while in town, we prayed that we would accidentally run into each other. Well, I guess it was not meant to be, because we did not see her. I emailed her when we got back; she said that when we were visiting the zoo we were about 1.5 miles from her home, so close and yet so far away. I think next time we go, we are going to ask forgiveness and not permission ~Smile~.
Anyway, back to the Friday. When we got back to Kent and Jackie’s place that night, Kent took us on a tour of Fort Campbell, KY where he is stationed right now. We had a great time seeing the base, and learning a little about what life is like on a base. It really is just like a neighborhood, with walls all around to secure it. Saturday, Stewart and I woke up early and made our way back to Nashville to the LDS Temple to do a session, before driving 8 hours back to WV. We had a great time there; it was nice to be in the temple again, and to feel the peace that is there. After the temple we made the long drive home, getting back about 10pm. We owe a BIG THANK YOU, to the Kent & Jackie for allowing us to visit. We had a blast, and hope to see you all sometime again… sooner verses later. Below are a few pics of our TN adventures, enjoy!

Looks like you had a fun spring break. I always love seeing different temples. Jealous you got to see Kent and Jackie and the Zoo. Sound like a lot of fun. Thanks again for the "hug" card. I have it on my bulletin board and when I am in need of a hug...I look at it and imagine you and grandma giving me a hug. It's sometimes, just what I need. Love ya,Cassy
That sounds like fun, too bad you didn't drive through Louisville. You were almost there! I'm glad you guys have almost survived year one of med school. Congrats, maybe I'll see you in Idaho sometime. We plan on moving to Boise in June! Miss you.
I'm glad you guys had so much fun! That's funny that you were so close to your sis. Great pictures, you guys look great. Can't wait to see you this summer!
Hey, I've been thinking of you and wondering what you've been up to that I haven't seen you update your blog. I'm so excited that my nieces and nephews are staying in touch. I was so excited to see that you and Kent got together. Seems like the old time when you all hung out together. Great to hear about your update. Love ya,
Looks like fun!!
That sounds like such a fun spring break!!! How neat you get to go explore all these awesome places near by, and all the temples you will get to see! So cool!
Oh my goodness. You were like 20 minutes away from me and did not come see me!!!! What's up with that? Hope you guys enjoyed Nashville? isn't it the best ever! And I was just by the Parthanon yesterday, I took Arianna to the park there. Oh and the temple, that's where Jonathan and I did our first baptisms(spelling) it was so wonderful! It's like a 30 min drive from my house, isn't that awesome? And for the Nashville zoo well I've never been to that one. There used to be one really close to us but they closed down. Well so much for swinging by to see me...maybe next time or who knows maybe I'll get to come to WV again before we all have to move away LOL! Love you guys and miss you tons!
