Livin' the Country Life

Oh goodness gracious, I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted. I have almost been in Tennessee for a month, and I am loving it so much.

The following pictures summarize my adventure thus far...

This is my new friend, the chicken. To be quite frank, I think I was shaking when this picture was taken. I've never attempted to give some love to a chicken before.

These lovely ladies will eat right out of your hand!

This place is beautiful.

The CMA concert! Amazing. 
We were able to hear these country artists perform: Chris Young, Josh Turner (Hubba freaking hubba), Little Big Town, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Clint Black, & Thompson Square. The concert was unbelievable. I loved it.

"Mormon Night" at the Nashville Sounds game. The missionaries serving here in Nashville were able to sing the national anthem, and church members from all over the area were able to come together and enjoy the game. Plus, hot dogs were only a buck if you were Mormon. Home run? I think so.
And... at the game I ran into David Archuleta. I snapped a photo of him just as he was in deep conversation with a  fan club member.

She is so adorable. Except when she is stampeding towards you with her three sisters. A couple of days ago, Brittany and I were filling up their water tubs, when suddenly the pup Lulu herds the cows towards us. And let me tell ya, they weren't just strolling through the pasture. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped and that I nearly jumped into  the water tubs. Luckily we both barely got out of their way. I think from now on I need to stay behind  the fence when admiring these ladies. (:

The garden--my new love. Isn't it beautiful?


This place is wonderful. Everyone has been so friendly, and I am making new friends. I'm especially grateful to be spending my summer with some of my favorite people ever-- my brother Todd and his wife Brittany. I love them! 

I just love it here.
