TARYN IS IN LABOR!!!

Yes, as I type, one of my favorite-ist friends is in the process of having a baby! Wahoo! Looks like I will get to hold Baby McArthur this weekend after all. What a great day!

I am in the land of the southern drawl. I noticed it immediately upon landing in Nashville - it kind of felt like home. I remember Jackson's twang before we left the south. He called me "Momma" and we all drank sweet tea. Ah, the memories. I sat next to a woman on the plane who had quite an accent, but she was from much further south - CUBA. It was interesting to talk with her. She spoke Spanish and not a word of English when they first moved to Kansas City. They were deported from Cuba in a dayfor being Christians. Her husband spent 3 years in a concentration camp for being a Christian. We exchanged phone numbers - she offered to help Jackson with Spainish class and I told her I wanted to hear their story!

Off to explore the south!

Amazing! I just emailed Adam today kind of randomly to see if the baby had come yet. Thanks for the update!

Are you guys coming to the Rumble? If so, I'll see ya there!

Oh, and keep drinkin' the sweet tea - it'll keep you young! ;)
