I’ve officially lived in Music city for one year. While catching up with this guy, we began talking about the highlights of the last year. This is a good exercise for me, because I’m great at focusing on the negative. So here, in no particular order, are the highlights of my year in the Buckle of the Bible Belt.
- Met this family while working as a waitress
- Positive time in Gering for Christmas
- Ben Folds concert with Nashville symphony (free)
- 2 Predators Hockey games (free)
- Michael Buble concert (free)
- I sort of managed a band
- Bought a t-shirt and started hugging everyone
- Became a member at City Church of East Nashville
- Celebrated Chinese New Year with friends I met in China
- The hammock underneath the apple tree in my backyard
- Two visits to see kin in Mississippi
- LASP reunion at the DC Cherry Blossom Festival
- Finally found a “real” social work job
- Toured Mercy Ministries home
- Weekend trip to Nebraska to see my bro
- Stood on the circle of the Ryman Stage
- Took 3rd place in my first swing dance competition
