Engagement Photos

Nate and I had our engagement photos taken last week in downtown Franklin. Here are a few of our favorites from the day.

Violence at the Pump

If you live in the Nashville area you know first-hand that we’ve had a gas shortage.  The hurricanes and the fact that people are freaking out and getting in line for an hour just to top off their tanks out of fear are contributing to this problem.

I was blessed to find a station yesterday with some gas.  Nate, my fiance’ was kind enough to take this photo for this blog article.  If you see my car in town, give me a little friendly honk!

It’s not all smiles at the pump.  I have to bring a story to you that blows my mind.  Have people gone mad?  My dear friend, who we’ll call Samantha, was in line to get gas the other day at a Shell station.  The line was ridiculously long, but she got up to the front and there was this woman who had already filled up her car, but had not moved forward enough for another car to come behind her.  She was holding up the line, and it turns out she had sent out a couple of her friends to go and buy some gas cans at another store and bring them back to her so she could get some “back-up” gasoline on top of what she had already bought.

Samantha asked her if she would pull forward, but was refused. (At this point, several other drivers have started yelling and/or demanding that she move).  My friend decided to pull in sideways to the woman’s car so that she could reach the pump.  The woman was irate and came over and punched her in the face. Continue to hear what happened next.
