Howdy Summer!

As some of you know, we moved to Nashville for the Summer. My husband will be doing an Internship with Nissan, as part of the requirements of the MBA program at BYU. It is our first time being in this part of the country.  We didn't really know what to expect, but everyone we talked to, who has been here had very nice things to say about Tennessee, so that helped us get really excited about our summer here. Let me tell you our adventure how we got here.

Our little family adventure started on Sunday, right after my cousins wedding day. You can imagine how crazy it was trying to pack, and helping out for the wedding. Our flight left Sunday early in the morning. It is a shame to say that we missed our flight, we got to the airport a bit too late, and the counter people took FOREVER to check us in. It was our first time EVER! And hopefully the only one. Tickets were too expensive to try to buy last minute, so we decided to waitlist in standby. The next flight that could take us to Nashville was through Chicago and left just 30 minutes later. But to make things more complicated, there was only one spot for one of us. We decided to have David leave first, since he was the one scheduled to start work the next day. He left on that flight, and we stayed.

Diego and I left on another flight shortly after, but ours was going to Phoenix. We got to Phoenix at 10 AM, the only nonstop flight to Nashville was leaving at 7 PM! The thought of being at the airport for 9 hours with a toddler was brutal. I remember a friend leaved in Arizona, so I decided to give it a try and call her to see if she could pick me up. It was a miracle. She was only 30 minutes away from the airport. We attended our church services, and had dinner with her family. Her husband then dropped us off at the airport, and we arrived in Nashville at almost 1:30 AM. David got here at 3 pm so he was in charge of getting us settle for the day.

We had a rough start, but we made it. I guess good stories are often full of the unexpected. We are excited for our 3 months here, and we look forward to getting to know this amazing place.
