LOTS of photos taken this week. It was impossible for me to cut it down to my self-imposed 9-photo limit. Heck, it was hard to take it down to the 15 I have here! A great photo-taking week, and I can’t wait to share… so here goes!

My new carry-on is a super sassy red. I'm absolutely hooked on red things these days!
In the barber's chair... I took several cool photos of the barber shop, but this one was without a doubt my favorite.
Candlelight and wine
I took a lot of pictures at Opryland Hotel the other night as I sat listening to my husband play in one of the atriums. I sat in the nice little bar, snapping away. I can't even tell you why, but I love this shot. Maybe its the red color again...
My sweet Bailey
A fast snap into the tree... and an instant favorite came to be!
Musica (or as I prefer to call it "Naked People Dancing") sits at the foot of Music Row. One again, someone dressed the statue up for St. Patrick's Day... and this year I was lucky enough to go down to the Row and get to snap some shots!
I walked right up to it... I was kind of amazed by how HUGE it is!
I went for a walk with my husband and my shadow.
Beautiful sunset.
This bridge is part of a set of walking trails that joins many neighborhoods around Nashville.
One of my favorite things to do when my husband goes on the road is clean the house.
I started doing it when we first got married as a nice surprise for him. I wanted him to always come home to a clean home after a run. Clean house, fresh sheets on the bed, etc. It was one of my ways of saying, “I love you.”
Later, I started doing it more as a way of getting exercise. I’d clean house and push myself harder and harder. Clean better and faster. It was my version of going for a run. Drink water and break a sweat!
Today, I do it for both of those reasons, but also because it just makes me feel good. It lets me clear my mind of anything that might be weighing on it. If I get mad, I scrub out my anger. If I am sad, cleaning gives me this natural boost. If I am happy… well, I am inclined to turn on music and dance as I clean.
As I finish, I love to look around and see a job well done. And nothing sleeps as fabulously as fresh sheets on the bed! In fact, I can’t wait to crawl into bed myself and just roll around in the fresh goodness.
I cleaned my house today, while my husband was enjoying a day in Florida. He’ll come home to a super clean house, and a happy wife. Because I clean to say “I love you” not just to him… but to myself as well.
