a day in music city

We spent one full day in Nashville. One very full day. We met one of my best buddies, Amie, and her incredibly beautiful family for lunch. Table for 19? Anyone?

Later, Amie and I met at the Oatsvall’s fundraising concert to help out before the doors opened.

It was awesome to hang out with so many who are passionate about orphans.
We had a great seat, right behind this awesome family with the cutest caboose named J-man…

And about this close to the stage. Point of Grace was off the chizz-ain.

And so were the peeps who were in attendance. My friend Laine made the drive in for the concert, how I loved seeing her and her beautiful family.

And I loved getting a chance to meet bunch of other adoptive blogging mamas. From all over the US, coming together help bring a little man home from Uganda.

Only through His grace.
