Rainy and Depressing Morning

So I woke up to a very rainy morning here in Nashville… 5:45am is way too early! Especially after staying up late with The Boy watching The Dark Knight. He’s been patiently (or not so much) waiting for months to get me to see it. He knew I’m such a huge Heath Ledger fan, and [...]

Back in Maryville

Yes, I made it back safe and sound to Tennessee after a whirlwind of a trip to North Carolina.
Monday: Made it to Charlotte by lunch time, after sitting on the side of a mountain for an hour while Asheville police cleared an accident (a tractor trailer….. excuse me, transfer truck flipped over taking one [...]

One more road trip, coming right up!

Although I whine and freak out about being unemployed with no prospects for an entire 2 months since graduation… I have to admit, it has been nice to have time off, go on trips and see new people and places. Let’s recap the summer’s trips thus far:
Right after graduation was a quick trip up to [...]

Add 2 new states to my list, please!

Hello there!
I’m excited to add 2 states to my “been there, done that” list. Hard to believe that I’d never traveled to Kentucky or Ohio at all, but those 2 are now crossed off. I’m up in Northern Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, with the boyfriend, staying with his family. We’ve had an [...]

Greetings from the Farm!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I left Nashville a week ago and headed east, to my mom’s childhood farm just outisde of Maryville, TN. We finally got internet put in the house, but it’s dial-up so blogging is a little more difficult than usual. I’ll try to give a basic recap on what’s been [...]

Back in the Music City

Happy Monday everyone!
I drove back to Nashville yesterday. A long 12 hour drive on my own. But it wasn’t too terrible.
Breakfast: Driving up I-59, I discovered that East Texas small towns love their little donut shacks, complete with drive-thru’s of course. I stopped at “Billy’s Donuts” in Livingstone, around 9am. Billy’s sells Shipley’s donuts, some [...]

6 days until the half marathon!

Sorry I haven’t posted in so long! I’ve had a lot going on.

Had a great time in Austin, Texas, visiting my sister for Easter. I think I could definitely live in Austin – it’s a fun city, with a similar feeling to Nashville, except much more Vegetarian food! haha. Jenna and I definitely ate our [...]

10 Miles and Feeling Good

I finally got in 10 miles this morning. I don’t think I’ve done 10 miles since my half-marathon last year. How sad is that!? I’ve been missing a lot of my TNT Saturday morning training sessions due to work and travel, but I finally set up a 10-11 mile route for this weekend with my [...]

Trick or Treat!

Can you believe that tomorrow is halloween!? More importantly, can you believe that it is almost November!?? I certainly cannot. It seems like just yesterday was August and I was starting the internship, and now it’s already the time of the year when:

I have to set the alarm extra early in the morning to account [...]

Homecoming: as an alum

It’s sunday morning, and I’m visiting my best friend and college roommate for the weekend. The 5 hour drive down from Nashville wasn’t that bad … Atlanta traffic is still is scary as always though. I swear I thought I was going to witness several deaths on 285; those people just don’t know anything about [...]
