my city

If you didn't already know this...but Tennessee is my state. Franklin, Tn is what I would consider my hometown. We moved there when I was in the second grade...went to Liberty Elementary, Freedom Middle, Franklin High and then finally Centennial High. I don't talk about Franklin very much, but Franklin is the city that raised me. Nashville was the friendly aunt who also raised me when Franklin was tired of me.

Nashville/Franklin is the city that got me through breakups, college decisions, soccer matches, band practice, acne, trips to SATCO, times at church and youth group, drivers permits, licenses, too many gerbils, Joseph Ellington Conrad Sturdivant - our first dog, my first job at TCBY...Old Navy and Banana Republic, my Y membership....there are too many memories to even try and write, but middle Tennessee raised me and it makes me sad to see and hear all of the devastation that is happening there. I haven't been back there since a wedding a year and a halfish ago and I just want to be there, but I can't. I will do my part for my city and pray and offer my support. Oh Nashville.
