Updates from the Wilsons!

Well hello there! It sure has been a long time since I've even been to my own blog . . . but we've had a lot going on lately! We are now getting settled into our new house! Yea! Things are coming along great. I plan to post pictures of the house soon. But today I wanted to talk about my college roommate trip I went on a couple of weeks ago.

Each year my college roommates get together for a girls weekend. This year we were at Michelle's house in Columbia, TN. She lives out in the boonies in a beautiful home with her husband, 4 children, 1 dog, 2 cats, some goats, chickens, and cows! We enjoyed spending time together.

I drove thru Birmingham for my parents to pick Emily up at my sister's house. Here is a cute picture of Emily and Sawyer playing before bed time:
Angie, me, Danielle, and Michelle (and Abigail) hanging out:

On Friday we rode on the General Jackson riverboat in Nashville. It was the 4 of us and a bus load of senior citizens! What a hoot! We had a good time. We had lunch and a show. The guy that sang knew Danielle's cousin (Tammy Wynette) and had actually eaten dinner at Danielle's grandmother's house in Red Bay a few times . . . small world:View of Nashville from the riverboat:


And because there is always lots of food involved when we get together, I had to get a picture of our dinner on Friday night. It was a place where they stir fried your food for you and served it over pasta. Yummy!
On Saturday we went to the Parthenon in Nashville. It's a replica of what is left in Greece.


Inside is a gargantuen statue of Athena. She is HUGE!
We were also near the college where my parents attended (and met each other). I had never been before so this was cool to see:
Eating dinner at the Melting Pot . . . .yummy!

My husband is now considered a true saint in my book because while I was on my trip, Joe attended the closing for the sale and purchase of our house and was there on Saturday when the movers moved everything over to our new house. So this is what I came home to on Sunday morning. He was such a sweetie pie for letting me go on my trip anyway, even when we found out that the closing had been moved to when I was going to be gone. Thanks Joe! I love ya!I will post more pictures of our move hopefully tomorrow!
