no goodbyes... just ciao for now!

Our wonderful friends, Jessica, Kellye, & Erica, put together a wonderful bon voyage party for us last night at one of mommy & daddy's favorite Mexican restaurants in Nashville. Lots of friends showed up to say "farewell" to us.... so I am guessing that our final road trip to Texas is nearing.

Aunt Kellye made a DELICIOSO margarita cake (even daddy, the non-cake eater, loved it & can't stop talking about it)....Aunt Erica brought a MILLION fun balloons (I say it all of the time, but - gosh she knows my likes!).... and Aunt Jessica brought a GORGEOUS flower arrangement in an "UTennessee orange vase" (she chose mommy's taste impeccably - it'll be the first piece in our new San Angelo living room & we'll think of our Nashville buddies every time we see it).

Kellye packed me a yummy dinner.... and Jessica & Lacey were my "babysitters" for the evening.... keeping me so occupied, that mommy & daddy barely knew I was around (they're loss). The partay got started a little late, so my buddy Mia was at home snoozing, but everyone got to see lots of the two of us in the fun photo album that Kellye & Bill made for us... it is filled with sweet pictures of Mia & I from birth until now (yes - there were a few tears in mom's eyes as she flipped through the pages of pix of her two babies).

Tennessee is the only home I've known & boy am I glad to have been born in such a wonderful place, surrounded by great friends who love me & my family so much! Daddy & mommy may have been a little nervous moving here four years ago, but I am not certain why, because it has been the perfect place to begin our little family. We cannot say enough about how much we'll miss all of our wonderful friends here in Nashville as we move onto new adventures in Texas. It was such a fun night & we're thankful to all of our buddies that came. We did not say "goodbye," but instead.... "ciao for now"!
