Yesterday Chad was off work for Veteran's Day. (thank goodness for postal holidays!) So, we decided to go on a big adventure to Opry Mills to do some Christmas Shopping. We parked near Macaroni Grill, and got to eat lunch there - yummy!! We stayed a couple of hours and when we made it back to the truck we decided to change Michael's diaper before heading off to the Gospel Advocate Bookstore. So, it is nice to drive a truck because you can just let the tailgate down and change your child's diaper on the tailgate - sorry they are on exhibition, but it sure is easier than trying to do it inside and cleaner than a public restroom! So, we are there changing his diaper and a bunch of men walk by and one says "Hey, now you know why you bought a truck!" (referring to the fact that we were changing Michael's diaper) So, we look up and chuckle and say "Yeah". And as the one who did the talking kept walking I looked at Chad and said "Do you know who that is?!?!" It was none other than Paul DiMeo from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! So, we thought that was a super fun way to end our shopping trip - you never know who you will see in 'Nash-vegas' that's for sure. We are big fans of that show, so we knew who he was right off. Anyway, as we were leaving they were going in to Macaroni grill, we suppose they were going to eat, but they did have the whole film crew there, so who knows? That's a picture of him above, just in case you don't know who he is. Oh, and if you don't get to watch that show - check it out sometime - it is usually very heartwarming.

Hey - I saw on WBKO they are in or near town redoing someone's home here. I only caught the last snippets of the clip, but I believe they'll be here until next Wed. I wish I had heard where they were going to be. HOW FUN!
They're actually doing a house in Louisville for a guy named Patrick Henry Hughes (web site: http://www.patrickhenryhughes.com/), who is blind and in a wheelchair. Two folks from GWP - Patti Faulkner-Simmons husband Steve and Amy Kate J.'s boyfriend - are also working on the project. It's a small world, huh?
