After dating Nashville for two years, I’m making a commitment and buying a house. Look, isn’t it fun? This is the back yard, complete with a sunroom and mature elm, cedar and maple trees. I get the keys in just a few weeks and will spend much of my summer hauling stuff across town and getting settled; I hate moving but after two cross-country versions this will be a cinch.
Ironically, the down payment for this commitment comes from the money saved for my wedding. Not all the money—my mom insisted we hold a little back so there’s enough for a dress and some butter mints on the off chance I still meet one of the six remaining 30-something normal Christian men in the country. I’m not worried about it—if he really loves me, we’ll get married in the back yard.

Let the whole world know: When we get together in the backyard for the REAL wedding, there will be cake, too. And I’m saving a little each week so we can even add ice cream!
I LOVE this!!–Diane
You’re the best, Dad.
I’m glad you got a mature elm. I hate those immature elms, always throwing their leaves around and pouting! Congrats.
What a great foundation for that coming wedding date! Congrats Friend.
FANTASTIC!
i was just wondering how the house hunting was going….
and way to be thinking ahead to a wedding location
ha ha ha!
And I’m saving to purchase a little tux jacket for Louie.
Hi Jen. It’s kyle. Congrats on the house. I’m jealous of the trees and sunroom.
normal 30something christian men…. hmmm
Thanks, Kyle! You and Gavin should come over sometime. You’re normal 20-something men, after all–
What a thoroughly happy day! You have a house, and I love it! Evidently, you do too. Congrats!
Jennifer, I read with interest your column in CS of May 31, 2009, titled “Enriching the Neighborhood”. The one that really caught my eye is the “Stop Trafficking” article. That is a GREAT thing those people are doing. It would be great if they could just put the brakes on it completely. The people who traffic in child prostitution especially need to be dealt with to the full extent of the law.
I wish to recommend to you a book by a lady author in our town. Its title is More Than Angels–Once upon a Lifetime. The author is Ruby Moon-Houldson. She does a great job dealing with a lady FBI agent breaking up a child sex ring. I is a good read.
I apologize for the length of this note, but didn’t know how else to do it. BTW, congratulations on the new house in Nashville.
