Hello my dear democrat friend :) So I was doing laundry tonight and thought about placing Ellie on the CRAZY washer (it sounds like it's going to blast off) to see how she liked it. But I didn't. Thanks for the tip, though. Maybe one of these days when I get really desperate. So who exactly do you know in Nashville? I wonder if any might be in my ward. Sounds like you have plenty of reason to take a little trip over to this party of the country. Now go to bed--or go sit on your washer at least and try to get some sleep.

You might have to give Ellie some earplugs, or a fighter wing pin, one of the two.
My friend Anna-Lisa and her husband Juan Carlos live in Nashville. They go to the Spanish ward, though. I also know David and Heather Wiseman, James Krause (and wife), and Jonathon and Emily Wade. They like to refer to Vanderbilt as BYU-Nashville.
I think I might go to bed. I did just look at flights to Nashville, though.
And it's a great year to be a democrat :D
