camino de santiago

several of us here just bought tickets to go to santiago de compostela in may. from there we will travel about 100-120 kilometers out and then take 5-6 days to walk back. i can't possibly say how excited i am about this. i don't usually get hyped about walking blisters onto my feet and sleeping on the floor...but i will make an exception here. not only am i expecting this to be a sort of spiritual pilgramage, i also see this as a sort of comming home. for those of you who have travelled this journey with me for awhile, remember that santiago is where my days in spain began. i can't wait. (above is a foto i took of the church in santiago)

i really like this picture. the two dots are andrew and i. we got the chance to hang out some while i was in the nville...this one was us crazies running and trying to make it to the parthenon before the timer on his camera went off. to those friends that i don't have pics of...don't be sad. your turn is comming up this fall! (and i'll bring more batteries)

nville

ok so i realize that it has been awhile since i last updated. i have been up to a lot, but i've been informed that that is no excuse. so, here i go with pics of my trip back to nashville. i was there for a couple weeks in feb. it was incredible to be able to see my family and just relax in the home i grew up in.

here is my beautiful home city. i took this pic while driving. impressed?

we went and got sushi one day...i think it is something that my dad recenly got into...i have actually too just developed a taste for raw fish and extremely strong ginger. i'm not sure why we like it, but we do. sarah has always been a heath nut. this is mom and dad striking a pose. doesn't mom look excited about the raw shrimp?!

mom and i during one of my dozen trips to panera. sarah and me. a lady at the mall said we looked like the olsen twins...HA...i think someone needs to read People mag a little more.

no family post would be the same without a pic of oreo (aka bubba)...and no southern family is complete without one bubba at least...and he has been a part of ours for 18 years.
