What an adventure - short but fun! We enjoyed some time traveling together, working together, driving A LOT and just being together over the past few days. We also got to see some more of God's creation, which of course, was amazing.
After spending quite a while longer than expected in the airport in Atlanta, I finally arrived in MS. It was nice to see Nate! The trip was definitely adventurous after I befriended the flight attendant on my second flight and she "overshared" with me a bit ;)
We spent Friday working on some things at the MDS warehouse, and I learned the extreme importance of eye protection when operating a circular saw... :)
After work, we visited some sweet folks Nate hangs out with down there (Ottis and Anna Mae) and enjoyed a meal with them.
Afterwards, we went to their daughter's house to watch their European video from their recent travels, there were quite a few people there to watch along with us! What a great time with great people.Our task for Friday: finish out the tool trailer - build shelves, hang hooks, organize. Nate and others had also worked on it during the week.

And I discovered it's not so easy to understand what they are saying :)
Early Saturday, well, not too early, since we bagged the whitewater rafting trip after we found out we would need to leave at 3:30am!!! to make it, we woke up, got packed up and ready to go in the Ford F250 Super Duty, huge extended cab truck and off we went. I was excited to drive. Why? Because it was three new state's worth of driving for me! Yippee!!!!
I missed Alabama's state sign (I was not paying close enough attention!), but did get Georgia and Tennessee!

The Piggly Wiggly Truck ;)
We could have visited "Hoover" but decided not to... 
Saturday night, I jumped on the internet on Nate's laptop (while he was driving) and tried to find somewhere cool to stop for the night. We happened upon a quaint, very historic and cool town in TN, Jonesborough, which also happens to be the oldest town in TN... Very neat.Jonesborough's Oldest Building
Nate even took me on a date to a cool French Bistro, where I introduced him to capers with trout and grilled brie cheese ;) 
I thought the houses, buildings, etc. in this town were very gorgeous and fascinating, too!
I thought this church was cool, and I also thought the sign on the outside was great :)

The fog in Tennessee early Sunday morning :)Our drive home was safe, fun, and quite nice for being 16 hours worth of driving. I guess all things are a bit more fun when you're in love with the one you're traveling with ;)
Oh, and one last pic: check out this sign and where this guy was from:
