Since I've been here a week...

Burgess Falls

The snake!!
After we fell...hahahahah
Downtown Nashville

...I figured it could be time for a good update about everything that's been going on.  Especially since I'm horrrriiibble about figuring out what I've told who.  So, here we go!

House:

My house is wonderful!  I live on the second floor and share a bathroom with one roommate, Constance.  She's great and has a little Chihuahua named Pego.  I'm actually dog-sitting right now as she's out for the weekend at a wedding.  We have one room open and will hopefully get another person up here soon.  Breezy lives downstairs in her "dungeon".  It's an older house which is fun to live in...learning how to use gas appliances is interesting.  I love the stove..it heats up so quickly!  

Work:

Work is really neat.  The people are all wonderful and it's a fun and laid back atmosphere to work in.  So far, I've updated a database with recent addresses, mailed some packages to winners of contests (which is actually so fun because they'll email back and be SUPER excited about getting an EP of an album that has already released..haha), and tried to think of some creative ideas on how to connect churches to the label.  The president of Inpop is hysterical and likes to make office bets...espeically with Breezy.  She's a vegetarian and lost the last bet she made with him...the punishment is having to wear an "I <3>
Life:
I don't know too many people up here yet, so I haven't done too many crazy things.  Breezy has been such a blessing...she takes me everywhere with her to meet people and experience life up here.  So far, we've been to "Exit-In"(a realllllyyy old historic venue in downtown Nashville) to see a show that our co-worker Justin promoted, drove to Burgess Falls to relax (the biggest waterfall in TN), and are going to a carnival tonight.  We also had an interesting adventure one day on our way home from work.  There is a really nice park with a river flowing through it on our drive home and we decided to stop there one day.  Breezy knew how to get down to the river off the trail, so we went.  On our way down, she almost stepped on a 5 ft. snake and we both slipped down the hill and got mud caked all over our butts.  Needless to say it was an interesting and hilarious experience.  It's always an adventure!  I also go to church with Breezy at "The Journey".  So far, I've really enjoyed it.  There is a Bible study Monday nights that I went to and it's really good...I love smaller groups.  The church's main focus is working in the community which I find to be really awesome.  

So...I think I've covered pretty much everything about my first week here in Franklin.  I'll post some pictures so you can reallly see what it's like up here.  Love you guys!
