Weekend Catch-Up
Jul. 3, 2013—Sad to say, Victoria and I are already falling behind on our weekend updates--it's because there's just so much to do! In this post, I'll give you a quick update of our second weekend in Nashville before launching into our third!
Sleepless in Nashville
Dec. 21, 2012—This is the first time all year that I haven't been able to sleep. I should temporarily join Insomniacs Anonymous. Did you know that you could be so well rested that it's a detriment to your sleep pattern? Good, neither did I, until now that is.
