Loving October
Lately I've been hearing a lot to cherish every moment. Mostly from cute ladies at the grocery store when they see Javen...but it's been on my mind a lot. I've decided maybe I'm hearing this so much for a reason and should apply it to more moments in my life, not just the ones I have with him. This month has been easy, there has been so much to LOVE! :
General Conference
General Conference
Visiting family in Denver, CO

What is there to do in Memphis?
This really is my family: Part 4(the last one)
When Jason and I came here to find a house we ran into a younger guy from Memphis at the airport and thought he would be good to ask what there is to do here. He told us about all of the fun bars and what not. Then we asked "what if you don't drink"
His response "oh, uh, then there's nothing."
My Dad came last week to visit and we decided to see what there was to do, besides Graceland. Here's what we found:
There's the Pink Palace museum, which is a huge mansion that was built by the inventor of the first self-serve grocery store, but he never lived in it.
This is from the victorian era exhibit. See the wreath framed above? Made out of human HAIR from each member of the family. A sign of wealth. Eeew.
You can pose as flowers at the Botanical Gardens (which I LOVE)...and is FREE on Wednesdays!
Javen seemed to enjoy it all :)

Eeew.You can visit the Stax museum and see the 1972 24-karat gold Cadillac which belonged to Isaac Hayes. This thing was way ahead of it's time, complete with a mini TV in between the drivers and passenger seats and a mini refrigerator in the back. I think it marked the beginning of the "bling bling" for all the rappers and soul singers. I didn't take a picture, but you can see it here.
