My 3rd "Nashversary"

I cannot believe that it has been 3 years since I moved to Spring Hill.  It feels like just yesterday I graduate college and moved out here, and then I blinked and boom... here I am.  This year has been no different than any other in the fact that it has been a kinda crazy year, and I have had to completely trust the Lord.  It has really been a roller coaster of a year, but all the while, the Lord has been there for every step.  Here are some events from this year!

- My dear friend Caleb graduate college and I was able to go out to California and surprise him.  He had NO CLUE I was coming out.

-I was able to take my friend Jessica to her first baseball game ever.

-My life-long friend (literally-we've known each other since birth), Kathy, got married and I was able to celebrate with her.

-I went to Ohio to visit my aunt and uncle for a vacation, where I got to go to amish county and get lots of goods,

I got to go to the Ohio State Fair and see my first pig race, then my aunt and I got to go inside "the shoe" at Ohio State University!  That was pretty cool.

And then the 3 of us went to a military site that was honoring all the fallen soliders from Ohio.

-I competed in my first triathlon ever!  I didn't achieve my goal of sub 2 hours, but I finished in 2:15!

-I had pretty much the best birthday to date.  Olivia and Winter arranged to surprise me and took me to see THE GOONIES in the theater!  If you don't know, The Goonies is one of my favorite movies, so it was extremely neat to see that film on the "silver screen".  And the fact that I was surrounded by friends made it so much better!

-My parents came to visit for Thanksgiving!  It was so much fun to be able to celebrate with them and to show them my life.. in person.. here in Tennessee!

-Precious Iris Belle Pearson was born

-Christmas.  Christmas this year is extra special to me for a couple of reasons.  One is because Jessica came home with me, and we had a blast.  My family embraced her so much and we had a blast!  It was also sweet because it was the last Christmas I spent with my Grampie.

Here he is reading the Christmas story.

It was also Jessica's first time ever seeing the Pacific Ocean... she didn't think it would be cold, but it was!

-Now this next thing is NOT a highlight, but it a huge part of my year.  My grandfather, Eric B. Adney Jr., changed his address to Heaven.  He was 88 years old when he went home to be with Jesus, and it has been difficult to deal with.  However, through it all, the Lord has been my strength.  I've posted the video I made for his celebration service

-I finished the student intern program at New Song, and I started a new job!  I am now working full-time at The Arbors and Willow Springs (assisted living facilities) as the assistant activities director.  I am LOVING my job.  It is tough at times, but soo rewarding!
So there are some videos and picture from my third year in Tennessee!  I'm excited to see what this year holds for me!
