The latest adventure in the Stuart story has begun over the last few busy weeks. (Have I mentioned at all in this blog how busy we seem to be!?!) As soon as I found out we were headed south and I told Peyton, he drew this cute little sign for his Daddy. The other two would be less than thrilled to say the least.
We were heading to Nashville, Tennessee where Tad will become the new pilot of Sky5. It will change the course of our lives for sure but it is a much welcomed change after exploring some of our other options. I know for sure, I much rather he be flying here stateside verses in Afghanistan. So we decided we were really going to do this and we loaded up and headed out!

| I am a little nervous about unloading that fine packing mess! |

| 24 hour drive from Salt Lake City, UT to Nashville, TN |
 |
| The cats actually enjoyed the trip! |
 |
| Drew apparently did too! He rode in the big truck with Tad and I took the other kids and pets... Who got the better deal in that one!?!
Finding a house online was not an easy task. It took weeks of constant research of the areas and schools before we could narrow it down to a few good areas. If you over look the cheap construction materials of the cookie cutter house and the horrid driveway, I would say we did okay in selecting our new Tennessee home.
I even have a new birds nest to keep an eye on!
 
We have only been here for three weeks on Thursday and we have already made it our home.... We attended our first community event, found our favorite food places, met our first country music stars in Nashville, signed Peyton up for Tackle Football, decided on new traditions for the 4th of July (fireworks in Nashville!) and have even seen some of our favorite people from Georgia. The Caley's came to Nashville for the 4th of July and Katie and her boys stopped by for a night on their summer adventures. All and all... I think Tennessee may be one of the best decisions we have made in the last two years!
