Yesterday we got up early and picked up both David and my nephew Dane to go try out a new church we hadn't been to before. It's called Athens Church, and it's the church where Bob and Lisa, the founders of New Song mission, have attended for the last six years since it started. It's a small church with mostly all young people (I'd say in their 30's probably), but it has a very LakePointe feel. We may check them out again after we've visited a few more churches.
After that, we all went to SAM's Club to get some groceries since we have to take advantage of when we go into town. (When it takes 30 minutes to get to town from New Song, you have to make each trip worthwhile). Then we grabbed a quick lunch, took Dane back home, took our groceries back home, and then headed to Chrissy's mom's house to get my school boxes out of storage.
Once we got back to unload the school boxes into the classroom, we made a spur of the moment decision to make a little trip into historic Nashville (about another 20 minutes away) to see what all the hype was all about. David will be heading back to DBU before long, so I really wanted for him to go with us. Even though we got there shortly before everything closed, we actually enjoyed just looking around when all the people cleared out. Nashville has some really cute little shops, restaurants, and scenery. We didn't make it to the coffee shop before it closed, but we did get to experience Brozinni's Pizza, which I'm told is as close to New York style pizza as I'm going to find around here.
Nashville is definitely a place I'll take my friends and family to when they come to visit. And I'm so thankful David got to go with us for our first experience there. He's such an adventurous kid and so fun to hang around with. Sure am going to miss him when he goes back to DBU, though I wouldn't want him anywhere else. Plus knowing Juan will have his brother close by brings me comfort.
