Don't you forget you come from nothing

   This past weekend I had my first Saturday as a "Nashvillian." Although I was born and raised in Music City USA, I would much rather spend my Saturday in norts with no makeup doing thrilling things like laundry. But one of my accounts, Martha O' Bryan Center everyone should follow and Like them on Twitter and FB, had a booth at the Tomato Fest this weekend in East Nashville SO I persuaded Mom to come with, put on a real bra, and off we went! Before I go any further let me explain some things first y'all knew it was coming I do it every post.. My last two years of college I swore up and down I would not cop out and move back to Nashville. I always wanted to end up here eventually to raise a family like my parents had done, but first I wanted to go have my big adventure, take on the world, date a few more assholes. First I was Denver bound, yes that worked out so well Caroline... Then it was Charleston, then Baltimore, and then I got the email that changed my adult life as I know it. Two weeks later I was accepting a job in Nashville. I KNOW God was having a good cry inducing laugh up there looking down on me and my "plans." There is the famous Pinterest quote, "What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be," yeah...I have no idea what that quote is talking about because I've never gotten myself all worked up to the point of sitting in the shower for an hour because my life was falling apart at age 21, ever. So, BACK to Saturday. After judging enough Liberals at Tomato Fest to get me through till November, Mom and I found my future home finger, legs, toes, arms crossed (and no I'm not setting up another picture of how my life should be, maybe) and then headed to The Gulch for lunch and some more people judging or what normal people call shopping. All in all it was a day definitely worth putting on make-up for and once again I realized just how blessed I am to have the family and life I do. Okay, now getting to the point of this post like I ever really have one while driving home mom and I got to talking about my past and my subsequent future. If my life had kept going the way I had so desperately wanted it to  I wouldn't be in Nashville with the job I have, or the car I drive, looking at a condo on Church street, and training for my next half marathon hell I probably would have never run my first one or spending a day with my mom nonetheless talking to her. Don't get me wrong I still want to be married by 28 with a baby by 30 I want at least 4 okay? gotta start sooner than later but the details don't worry me so much anymore. I can genuinely say I'm glad I'm not engaged/married/heading down that road. Because honestly I'm a brat and would like to have my own apartment decorated how I want with everything monogrammed and bobby pins everywhere and how awesome is my monogram, cPr, amazing I know right? So I'm just gonna go on causing trouble and being shambly and making fun of the annoying lady in the booth behind me at lunch and dancing around in the restaurant bathroom with mom BECCA and whatever happens happens except gaining weight... 

p.s. 12 weeks till 13.1 #2 see I told you gaining weight wasn't gonna happen (got six years to get that ring)
