It's Harry Time!

I just got back from a week in Atlanta on Saturday to visit my cousins.  It was a really fun city, I would like to spend more time there.  Besides the angry drivers in the city the 4 hour drive to Atlants from Nashville is gorgeous!  I wanted to pull over numerous times just to take it all.  When I got to my cousin and her husbands house we got ready for a lovely dinner at a restaurant there called "The Treehouse".  I reccommend it, but you should sit outside, the air conditioning didn't really work inside.  Here is my delicious meal I ordered..

Stuffed grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, and squash and zucchinni.

It was all gluten-free.  For those of you who don't know I have celiac disease which is the worst possible condition you can have for gluten- intolerance.  I'm really strict on it now that I found out it was an auto-immune disease.  I basically only eat whole natural foods and nothing processed just in case there is hidden ingrediants.  I'm just starting to try new recipes to find things I like.  I'll be adding some recipes later.  For the most part I eat fruits, veggies, meat, and dairy.  I miss my baked goods so I'll be trying out different GF flours to makes some!

Anyways....back to Atlanta...We went to the aquarium there which was amazing!! It's $700 to swim with the sharks (sign me up!) For those of you who don't know I'm obsessed with marine life, particularly whales!  I LOVE WHALES!! I would go whale watching for the rest of my life if I could.  Here are the baby baluga's I stared at ;)
1,2,3.... awwwwwwww!!!  I adore them.  That night we went out to a taco place called Verde..best fresh tacos I ever had, I got the vegetarian and the grilled chicken...yummmm!

Then we watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 to recap before part 2 on Friday.

I have been looking forward to the end of Harry Potter for a year now.  I'm def. a Harry nerd!!  Before we went to the IMAX to watch Brooke (my cousin) and I took a body pump class, and even as an aerobics instructor myself that was the hardest class I have ever taken.  I'm still sore after 3 days.  Then it was time for the much anticipated movie!

Check out those glasses, we were ready!!


It was a beautiful movie, so emotional, so exciting, and so true to the book, a must watch.  I couldnt get my mind off it, I'll be seeing it again (Harry Nerd)!

The last night I was there we made some fondue and played scrabble.  I so enjoyed my time with them and will be visiting often. 

When I got home Saturday the rommies and I went to a friends boyfriends party for graduating med. school.  I met a lot of really cool people. 
That's how I would describe the people in Nashville "cool" and "trendy".

Sunday I tried out another church call "Music City Assembly"  It's a really great church, awesome teaching, acoustic worship and the perfect size for me, but I still didn't feel it was the right one.  I still have about 15 on my list so on to the next one.  I'm looking for a great community (which Nashville has a lot of those), a dynamic youth group, and missions work. 
I'm missing my church and family cak home but I know the Lord will root where I need to be

This was too long of a post I promise I'll keep up it so I wont have to post this much again :)

To leave you off with this lovely song..


Blessings Darlings!
