15 years have passed since the day we said, ‘I do’, but still our love is strong and remains forever true. With strength drawn from God, His Word and from prayer, the years have only deepened the love that we both share. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 *Read at our wedding on September 5, 2003 We celebrated fifteen years of marriage in Nashville, TN during the fall of 2018. Where we stayed: Evergreen Farm, 4412 Brick Church Pike, Whites Clay, TN
This quaint B&B is run by a wonderful German woman (Gisela) who baked fresh bread and delivered it to our door daily. Evergreen Farm is located about 20 minutes outside of #Nashville and it provided us with the quiet countryside retreat that we were craving. Where we visited: Johnny Cash Museum, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Music City Walk of Fame Park, Ryman Auditorium, The Gulch, and Grand Ole Opry Backstage tour. How we got around: There are plenty of Uber and Lyft cars around, but we rented a car. We got lucky too; 2019 Chevy Camaro with less than 600 miles from Alamo! We had so much fun. It was easy getting in and out of the city and we always found a spot in the Library Parking Garage. Where we ate (and drank and ate and drank more): Luke's 32 Bridge Food + Drinks, Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row, FGL House, Tootsies, Ole Red, Biscuit Love, Hattie B's, Loveless Cafe, Slim + Husky's, and Famous Saloon. You can literally eat and drink your way through this city. The whiskey is top notch (which is expected) and the biscuits are amazing. If you love country music, live music, history of music, eating, and drinking, this city is for you! When we return, we will absolutely visit Hattie B's (medium chicken and pimento mac n cheese and Loveless Cafe (biscuits and jam) again! So, what was my favorite part of the trip? Sounds silly, as there were many. But truly looking back, I loved the moment I looked at my husband while driving down Route 65, grinning ear to ear (and man, he has a beautiful smile). I asked what he was smiling about, thinking certainly he would say how fun it was to drive the Camaro. He said without hesitation, "I'm excited for our future. I can see it. You and me." Thank you Nashville for giving us a taste of our years to come . . . xoxo
