This past weekend was pretty hectic for me and John. We had to part ways for the first time since the wedding (Awwww)... Thursday, I headed home to exchange/return wedding gifts. I got to see mine and John's families for the first time since the wedding which was really good. It's always really nice to see your family - there's no place like home! On Friday, John headed to Memphis along with 11 other guys for one of his friend's, Keyes, bachelor party.
My mom and I started exchanging gifts at 9:30 in the morning on Saturday and did not finish until 7:15 that evening! Afterwards, I went out to eat with my best friend from back home and hung out with her for a little while before she had to go to work (she's a nurse). On my way home, I HAD A WRECK!!! This was the first time this had happened to me! And, to make matters worse, it was my fault! I had stopped at a red light and looked to see if the coast was clear to turn right and began to turn. Apparently, I just though the coast was clear. I pulled out in front of an older white Nissan Maxima (which, by the way, I will be surprised if it is not totaled). The driver of the Maxima scraped down the corner of the front bumper of my Chevrolet Trailblazer. I think basically the whole passenger side of her car is going to have to be replaced (it looked like a crumpled up Coke can) including a sideview mirror and the passenger side window I shattered. Luckily, no one was hurt. She was kind of upset and shaken up at first, but has really been nice about the whole thing. My truck has a dent in the front bumper and one by the driver's side headlight along with some scuff marks, but other than that, seems to be okay.

Sunday, my family and I had lunch with my grandmother in Starkville. I was the only young married woman there NOT pregnant. I am starting to feel left out! ;) Just kidding! I am excited about the new babies coming into our family in the next year. I think holidays and family gatherings are just more fun with kids around.
John had a blast in Memphis. After hanging out and doing boy stuff on Friday night, the guys went to see Robert Randolph and the Family Band (http://www.robertrandolph.net/) Saturday night on the Gibson rooftop. Beale Street was THE place to be for them last weekend!

Look! John found a broken ATM...He "withdrew" extra funds...
John's motto: "Live life like there's no tomorrow."
Keyes displays the "million-dollar smile":
John sees a platter of cheeseburgers across the way:
Today, John called me from work and asked me out on a date. Very sweet! After work, he came home and picked me up and we went out to the McCabe Pub in Nashville(http://www.mccabepub.com/). We LOVE to eat here. It's a laid-back bar & grill type place. Great food!
Well, that's all we have for now, but there will definitely be more later this week!
