Spring Break is a Coming

I am soo ready for spring break! The next week will feel like a year. I will be off for two weeks. Part of that time I am going to Clevagas to hang out and see old friends. Who knows where the wind will take me after that. .. It feels funny to go to Cleveland for part of spring break, but I am very much looking forward to fellowshiping with all down there and relaxing.
List of things to do:
* Sleep in as long as I want- everyday but Sundays.
* Spend one day in my PJ''s- while reading and watching movies ( not at the same time)
* Eat each meal with a different friend while in Cleveland
* Plant some flowers in our yard...I am not sure if I have a green thumb or not- this will be a fun experiment!
* Clean out my closets!!
*Explore more of Nashville
*Take naps
I think that is a good enough list for now. I'll report back how much of this list actually goes as planned

A Whole New World

This Saturday Robb and I went to the Nashville Gun Show. Robb's brother works at a gun shop and thus was at this show, so we went. I knew that I had entered a whole new world when walking in the parking lot I had to do a double take at a man carrying a large gun in broad daylight with no deer around. Once inside there were men ( and women) carrying guns all over the place. Guns of ALL shapes, sizes and purposes. When you come in the door you have to take the ammo out of the gun you are carrying in but... I am really not sure what the point is when there is ammo being sold inside everywhere. While talking with Keith.. I quickly came up with plan for hiding if one of these people decided to unleash some pent up aggression. I would have been okay if all of the guns were clearly hunting rifles... that makes sense to own. But, many were clearly not to be used to hunting animals.... they would have blown any animal to bits. What then is the purpose of owning an expensive weapon that you should not use? The entire afternoon was a cultural learning experience ( it seems like I am having a lot of those lately). There was every type of person there... young, old, a old man with a large dog collar and chain on his neck, and many good ole' boys. When we left several hours later... I was overall less bothered by the whole experience and eventually walked away from the table that I had designated as the hiding place. We even talked with Keith about teaching me gun safety/ shooting practice just to take away the "fear" aspect of guns. I do not like to be afraid of anything- this leading to the interest in learning about it. We shall see how this goes.
