Friday Night Lights
Jul. 23, 2013—If you ever get the chance to check out Cheekwood Botanical Gardens here in Nashville, I definitely recommend it. It's an oasis in the midst of a city with beautiful gardens, green spaces, and fountains that's wonderful to explore on a sunny day.

When Your Mom Visits (Version 2.0)
Jul. 10, 2013—As I mentioned earlier, my mom was here this past week! Whenever my mom comes, we try and do some exploring--either a new part of town, or Nashville classics that I might not always have a chance to get to during the school year. Thus, I present to you a list of the things my mom and I did while she was here this time. Consider it your own personal list of things to do when you visit Nashville.

Dores are Everywhere
Jun. 26, 2013—For the past two weeks, my family and I have been traveling Europe. The trip served as a celebration for my sister's graduation and my parents' anniversary. It was also the first time that my parents had been out of the country. We flew into London and spent two days there, and then we went to Paris for a few days. The last week of our trip was spent on a Mediterranean cruise, which stopped in the south of France, Italy and Barcelona. We had a great time, but there is no place like home.
#WordWednesday
Jun. 19, 2013—As Caitlyn mentioned in her post, we're trying to do something new, fun, and inexpensive in Nashville each weekend.

What I Learned
Jun. 11, 2013—I spent the past four weeks in Solola, Guatemala interning with Manna Project International. I worked with six other amazing interns and we were supervised by four long-term program directors. My time in Guatemala definitely ranks high as one of the best months of my life. Despite the lack of running water and clean meat to eat, I made some amazing friends and learned a lot about the world and about myself.
