Oktoberfest 2009

Another week in the books. Tom got home from Mississippi on Wednesday night just before I got home from work. It was really nice to have him back home. We had a nice night together but I had to work all day on Thursday and he worked that night at Vandy and didn't get home until after I was asleep so it was right back in to the way things were. Friday night my football game was cancelled because "the weather might get bad" Tennessee is so weird down here. They didn't play the game because of the threat of a lot of rain and potential lightning but it barely sprinkled all night!! Figures. That meant that we had to play the game Saturday night instead... Tom and I had plans to spend the entire day together and just like usual, my work screwed it all up. We were able to spend the morning together anyway. We were able to stick with our plans of going to the Oktoberfest up in Nashville in the morning and early afternoon and then we just had to cancel our plans to go to a bonfire that night... :(


Me sitting on a bail of hay, resting my feet and back from walking all around downtown. They had several booths of crafts and food vendors. However, I was a little disappointed on the amount of actual German "stuff" they had. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun.

We went in for a tour of one of the old churches downtown. This is the Catholic church. The architecture was beautiful. Everything was carved wood and so very intricate; from the alter to the choir loft to the confessional. It was amazing.

We sat and watched the Polka band for a while. The lady on the accordion and the piano played very well and she also had a beautiful voice. She even yodeled a little. We didn't get out of our seats to Polka this time; maybe next time.

Tom's friend from School, Mike, and his wife met us right before we had to leave for me to go to work. They still had enough time to enjoy a liter of beer together.

I made it home just in time to gather my clothes for work and get out the door to go to the high school. The game wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it was over in just over 2 hours. By the end though, my back, legs and feet were hurting sooooo bad! I got home, put my feet up for a little bit then headed off to bed.

We got up this morning and Tom went with me grocery shopping. I spent pretty much the entire day today cooking meals for the next few weeks. I decided that I am sick of eating canned soup and frozen dinners so I have prepared and froze several different things to get us by for a while. Tom spent the day with Mike aerating each others yards. They rented a machine from Home Depot and went to town. I don't think either of them knew how long it was going to take. Tom left the house at noon and got home at 7:30. We ate dinner and now Tom is in the kitchen cleaning up my mess from the day. He likes it so much when I cook for him that he always offers to do the dishes. What a good guy I have!!!
