Day 2 of Picture Challenge

Today is an absolutely beautiful spring day here in Nashville!!  Blue skies, sunny, light breeze--perfect.  If it was about 5-10 degrees warmer it would truly be PERFECT.  :)  Tim and I went to one of the party rental places this morning to look at linens, china, water glasses, flatware, etc.  I was overwhelmed.  And clearly, I like to take my time looking at the color choices.  I have far too many things to choose.  Luckily, we were only there for a quote and nothing is definite today.  We are going to meet with another vendor for rentals on Tuesday so at least I know kinda what we're getting into now. :)

We took a nice little drive through the backwoods of Nashville.  It was fun.  And now we're at Tim's house as he is fixing some cables for the sound system at church.  And then we're going back to my place to walk around the Boulevard and eventually meet up with Scott and Mae whenever they get in town!  I'm looking forward to seeing them and spending some time with them.

Today was a good way to start off the weekend after a very busy work week!!  It's nice to get away off-campus for a bit and just live life and not worry about noise levels in the lobby for a change.  Or just knowing that I have the flexibility in my line of work to be able to do that is very comforting!  Yesterday didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would when we had our discussions about candidates.  And we all pretty much agreed that the ones we liked most were the best fit for the job.  Offers were made to those candidates and hopefully we'll have answers on Monday.

Moving on to the picture challenge:   Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

This is me and my Mom, Helen at my cousin's wedding.

My Mom is one of my best friends!! And she has always been there for me through thick and thin.  She's my #1 supporter and always has some advice to share.  And while I may not always agree with what she says, in the end "Mother always knows best."  We've become closer as I've gotten older.  She's a funny lady with lots of good stories to share with anyone.  She's a sweet southern woman (from Iowa) who knows how to be a gracious hostess with the mostest.  :)  Although, she's good at making me frustrated from time to time, she's my Mom and I love her a  lot and can't imagine life without her.

Well, now that Timmy is down fixin' cables I reckon we'll be on our way to enjoy the day! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!
