No Place Like Home

Wow it has been a while since I have been on here to blog! I just got back from Nashville, where I had a blast. I really miss home, but I really REALLY miss home when I visit! Spring was in full bloom, where as here in CT, it just hasnt quite made it yet!! Mom had gorgeous tulips in her yard!! I couldnt resist taking some pictures...anyway, I got in last Wednesday really just in time for bed. Thursday I had a haircut with Nikki! That made me happy and sad, happy cause I got a haircut, but so sad that it would be my last one from Nikki for a while! Thursday night I ate dinner at PF Changs with my family and stayed at home and watched The Office!!

Friday, I got to spend time with Lauren and Jill. I miss Lauren so much and it was nice to be able to see her. We ate at a really great Mexican place in East Nashville... Ghetto, I know, but it was SOOOO good! Then we went to Chili's for a bit and talked and had a glass of wine. Then went to Jill's house and talked til pretty late.. lots of fun!!

Saturday, Lauren, Jill and I had breakfast at Panera and went to get a pedicure. OH MY GOODNESS... if you havent gone to Diva Nails( I think that's the name of it) in Providence Shopping Center, then GO!! I promise, it's like a day at the Spa. Lovely. Simply Lovely. So then Saturday night I met up with Tabitha and Jennifer Lee and we ate at Bosco's then went downtown to Cadillac Ranch. I had never been there before. They know everyone there, so it was fun! Tab's cousin Crystal met us there too. I wanted to sing karaoke but there was a long wait and they guy said we could go next for 60 buck, but that is dumb so we didnt do that. There are a few places in there, but I liked downstairs at the best. I had too much fun that night!!!

Sunday was a good day too. I went to TDF and got to hear Amanda sing, which was fabulous, and was able to see a lot of people I miss. I went to the Polston's for lunch and got to meet sweet baby Jack and I got to love on him. I really wanted to take him home with me, but I dont think his mommy would let me!!! : ) I had a great time over there. The dynamic in that family is wonderful. It really makes me miss living near my family AnD it makes me want to have lots of kids so that we can have a big family!! I was planning to go to church on Sunday night, but my Aunt came over and we were looking at pictures and I lost track of time. But I did got to dinner with Em and Lauren H. Nems came for a bit to say hi. It was nice to see all of them. Em and I got a chance to catch up and talk for a bit after dinner!

Monday was fun. I met Breanne and her baby niece at Panera and spent some time talking. That baby is TOO sweet!!

Monday night, Mom, Dad, Lauren and I went to Ruth's Chris for dinner. We had a good time and a great dinner! I really miss seeing Lauren. She stayed over for a bit and hung out, but had to go and I went onto bed!

Tuesday, Mom, Deb, Dad and I went to IHOP and I has french toast. It was REALLY good french toast. I didnt get the stuffed stuff, I just got normal french toast. After that us girls went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and Ross... and there I got a BCBG running suit. It's too cute! Then, I went to see Lauren at work and pick up some DVDs. We went to Sonic to get her lunch. I had dinner with Mom and then that night, I met up with Tab at Hooters, I didnt eat, I just went to see her before I left. I got to see Ryan, who has gotten SO BIG! He is almost 8... I can remember when I watched him when he was like 6 months. Gosh, that makes me sad. After that, I met up with Margaret and Christine at Chili's and we had some wine and talked forever. We went to Sonic and took some pictures and acted stupid... and had a great time!!!!!!!

Wednesday was my last day and Mom, Dad, Deb and I went to Longhorn for lunch. Oh, before that, I went to say bye to Lauren, which sucked, but I got to say hi to Chazy, so that was nice. In the airport, I saw the country band Sugarland, that was cool. The flight was long. I got pretty far in my book, The Tenth Circle, so far it's great! All in all I had a great time in Nashville, and cant wait to visit ( with Chad next time)!!!!!
