Wow!! Has it really been six weeks since I’ve blogged?!? We are finally settling in to Nashville—and couldn’t be happier. After driving 2,427 miles –with lots of Starbucks and Subway stops, plus one night at a Nebraska steakhouse where fried gizzards and rocky mountain oysters are perfectly normal entrees–we finally arrived, and have been exploring our new home ever since.
Over the weekend we had our first night out. We met friends for dinner at Puckett’s Grocery. I had my first ever shrimp and grits. The verdict–spicy, creamy, and sooo delicious. I felt very southern. 
Grant had a steak with a side of bacon wrapped green beans. I’ve found that bacon can pretty much be added to any dish and be transformed into southern cuisine. It’s magic.
Afterwards we perused the Broadway strip. The crowds at 9pm made it feel like Vegas, but with honkytonk flare.
And though live music was blaring from every honkytonk, making the sidewalk one big block party, we decided to duck in for a bit more action.
Sunday much more laid back. We visited a church in Franklin and meandered the historical downtown. Franklin is a really cute town. Grant and I actually prefer the small town feel as opposed to being downtown.
We found a great job opportunity..
And Grant felt right at home with the locals..
As did I, they apparently love Starbucks just as much as Seattleites…
Later in the day we vegged in sweats, watched Christmas movies and baked pumpkin bread. I would definitely say we had a successful weekend!
Have a great Monday!!!
