Back on track!

It's been a long while since I've blogged and I was thinking today that I really have missed documenting our lives this way. So let's get back on track!

Our house in Tennessee has been becoming more of a home to us. We have done a little decorating here and there so I'll have to take some updated pictures soon.

We've also been LOVING living in a neighborhood. Ours in particular is awesome. We have gone on lots of walks and often run into kids that quickly have become good friends.

We've had a bunch of visitors come. My parents and sister Katie drove all the way from Texas to see us in January and we had a great time visiting Gaylord Opryland, eating at Chick Fil A, checking out downtown Nashville and walking around the Parthenon. We loved showing them around! Merrick's parents, 2 brother, 1 sister, and 1 girlfriend also all came out last week for Easter. We shopped on Broadway and also Main St Franklin, saw the Grand Ole Opry show, the Parthenon, Loveless Cafe, etc. We are so glad they made it!

Avery has been enjoying 1st grade and Camryn is thriving in her PreK at Franklin Christian church. She also turned 5 in March. Lily is talking a ton and has some spunky personality coming through!

Merrick's work has been awesome and he took a business trip to Las Vegas in February. He also just got called as EQ President. Guess they found out he only did that job for 6 months in Wisconsin!

I've been doing lots of cleaning (a big house is a lot of work!), reading (some of my faves lately are Still Alice by Lisa Genova and The Light Between Oceans by ML Steadman), shopping for decorations for the house, returning most of the things I buy, and it feels like I spend a lot of time doing stuff like registering cars, getting my drivers license (took 4 hours in line the other day), etc. I'm excited that its going to be really nice weather this week so we can lounge in the sun a little more!!

Well I'll also post some pics that i haven't posted on instagram and facebook but I'm using my phone so they'll be in random order. :)

Welcome back! I'm really honestly wondering if you're up for us coming and spending a weekend with you guys. Nashville looks like a blast and it's so close. I'm ready to start planning our trip down! Also, I went straight to the library and checked out The Light Between Oceans. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the recommendation!
