So much has been happening lately! And every time I think that I should post a blog about something, I get distracted by something NEW! So I thought I would give a brief overview of my life as of the last few weeks.
Lets see, where was I? Well, since I last posted, I was given two FREE tickets to the CMA Festival (Country Music Heaven!) by my wonderful roommate! It was crazy to see how huge the event was, and I even got to see Brooks and Dunn and then Reba perform before it got rained out. So that was awesome!
Things at Mercy have been really busy. Although I don’t do much planning type of stuff, I get to sit in on the planning meetings, which has been so cool. I definitely feel like I am gaining some insight on event planning. There is a 5k coming up in October that will benefit the Nashville home… I’m really trying to make it back up so that I can run in it! Check out this link to see a picture of the planning committee… These women are amazing! http://twitpic.com/7sv34
This last weekend there was a HUGE charity softball event, hosted by Jeff Fischer, the head coach of the Tennessee Titans. He and the Titans are long time supporters of Mercy… they donate $10,000 per win! So everyone at Mercy really loves the Titans! The event was a huge success, with a much larger turn out than in years past. Since Mercy was one of the beneficiaries, I got to go and man the booth! It was reeeeaally hot. Although I’m sure that those of you in Florida feel no pity for me! Check out a picture (and Nancy Alcorn’s Blog) of the event here at http://nancyalcorn.blogspot.com/ I’m in a picture in the slide show… go ahead and laugh at how short I am! I know, I’m tiny!
As of today, I have some exciting news… I got a haircut. I feel so Nashville.
(Ok Lindsay, you called it, I just had to blog about it!)
And tonight was awesome. After work Lindsay, Stacie and I went to a Songwriter showcase with her parents at the Rutledge in downtown Nashville. As I’m sure you can all imagine, I was psyched to be checking out the music scene! Not only did I get to hear some awesome music (Audrey Assad, check her out, this girl’s got some pipes http://www.myspace.com/audreyassadsings !!) I also ran into a friend from my small group in Tallahassee that is interning in Nashville for the summer, too. Too weird! I mean, what are the chances?? Anyway… Things are going great. I really do love it here. And everyday is an adventure!

Hey, sounds like things are really picking up! I can certainly understand getting to the computer and wanting to post an update, but getting pulled away yet again by something else. But it's great to see you're growing so much from your experience there! Definitely a fan of the haircut as well ;-) Take care, Dana!
ReplyDeleteOh, and "Songwriter showcase" = jealous :-P
