It was such a beautiful weekend. My parents and younger brother came up to visit for the weekend, and we had a great time getting to visit with each other. I also had some much needed time with my Dad. We really haven't been able to just "hang out" in awhile because I've been in Nashville for the past two months. But, since we are both pretty early risers, we got up and ate some breakfast and then I took him around Nashville in search of an REI store. After that, we drove around for an hour trying to find a Petsmart that actually had some pets, i.e. dogs, but to no avail. I guess my dog hunt will just have to continue, and hopefully one day, Sam and I will find a great pet, that we both like that's not 170 ibs, like my neighbor's dog, Dozer. I love Dozer, minus the slobber.
Anyway, hanging out with my Dad was so much fun. I'm constantly reminded of how blessed I am to have parents like I do, and a Dad who actually wants to be a Dad, and enjoys spending time with me. I humbled how much it parallels to how God wants to be that constant Father to all of us. Yet, for some reason, sometimes it's hard to let Him...
It was so beautiful today too. We got up and walked to Starbucks and took our little dog, Sadie, who's a 3lb miniature Malti-poo, with us. She's adorable and somewhat resembles a caterpillar when she walks at human pace because her little legs are so small!
I have only one more week up in Nashville before my internship is over! I can't believe how fast it's gone by....I look forward to being home and diving into all this wedding stuff, and seeing Sam....yeah, I told him earlier that this whole "talking on the phone thing" is getting old. He quickly reminded me that our parents didn't even have cell phones, and that we will survive.
Oh...Sam.
