Weekend with Tim

This past weekend our friend Tim came to visit us from college. It was a short weekend, but it was great to see him and hangout before our lives change. Friday night he didn't get in until really late, we ended up staying up for a couple of hours just talking. It reminded us of our college days. Saturday the boys slept in a little, while I went to work out. I did my spin class. I love those classes, however I just started to notice that its becoming a little difficult to spin on the bike and breath because of my belly! We will see how much longer I will be able to keep it up. When I got home the guys were sitting on the deck enjoying a nice cup of coffee and relaxing. We decided to take Tim to Martins Bar-B-Que which is a local restaurant in our town that has been featured on the food networks Diners, Drive In and Dives. It was the first time that we had been, I am not a big fan of Bar-b-que but its a unique place so we decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is very cool. Its not high class but a great little place that give you a small home town feel. They smoke there meat, so my only problem with the place was at times the restaurant would fill up with smoke. But I am probably that exception to the rule, Tim loved that part of the restaurant. I do have to say though we can go back there to eat, which means the food was good. I got chicken tenders of course. Brandon and Tim ate Bar-b-que.
Once we finished lunch we were off to downtown Franklin. It was a gorgeous day out, the sun was shinning and steamy. We walked around downtown, and ended up getting dessert at Sweet CeCes! My new favorite ice-cream shops. They have soft serve yogurt. They have about 10 different flavors on any given day, you walk in and you get a big dish. Then you can add any flavor ice cream in your dish, I got snicker doodle and very vanilla. Once you have added the ice-cream there is a topping bar. You name it they got it. Fresh fruit, hot fudge, and candy just to name a few. Then you weigh your dish, and pay. We then headed back to the house to relax before meeting our friend for dinner that night. Brandon and Tim watched "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia" while I read a book on the deck trying to get some sun.
Saturday night we ended up meeting some friend for dinner at a Chuys a mexican restaurant in Franklin. We had a good time enjoying everyone company, they even got to hear some of Tim's stories, and if you know Tim than you know we all had a good laugh.
Sunday came and it was time for Tim to head back. He had a very long drive home, we were so glad that he decided to come out for a visit. I tried to take some picture to document his weekend visit. If you look you will see the baby bump!

Vocal Chords are Developing

Last week I was 24 weeks, and sometime during last week I notice some random hiccups. Periodically throughout the day I would just have one hiccup. I just thought it was odd, until last night. I was reading "What to Expect while Expecting", and for week 25 this is what it said "Your baby's vocal cords are functioning now, leading to occasional hiccups." So I figured out why I am having random hiccups.

This week a friend of mine sent me this link..

I thought it was really cute. I know we didn't wait as long as some people have had to, but it make a great outfit. Maybe I should pick this up, it would make a great outfit to wear home from the hospital. LOL

The Nashville Flood

This is a historic moment in Nashville's history. Attached you will find this slide show, its pretty amazing how much damage the downtown area received.
We are very lucky, our house had no major damage. The roads to our house were washed out saturday night and sunday evening, but they are open and ready for those to travel on.

Our Saturday Drive

This Saturday the plan was to go and look at baby bedding, and order our chair for the babies room. That morning we woke up and it was raining. We thought that we still could get our plan done for today, but little did we know that things would end up a little different. We drove to Green Hills mall, just so we could get to Pottery Barn Kids. We should have just called. While at the store the bedding that I wanted to look at is back ordered until June 22nd, and the bookshelf we wanted to see they don't have in the store. Of course we could pay and order it and pick it up at the store but I don't know about you. I like to see and feel the product before purchasing it. So that was a worthless trip. So we were on our way back to coolsprings. While driving the rain was getting worse. I looked at Brandon and said, maybe we should just go home. He said we just need to stop one place and we can do the rest some other time. We were getting off the interstate and headed down the drive to the mall and all of these brake lights came on. We didn't know what was going on, as soon as we got over a lane we notice the road was flooded. So change of plans we were going home. Good thing we made this decision when we did. We got home around 1 and it didn't get any better the rest of the day. Here is our trip back.
