So today is officially my mom’s 69th birthday 🎂 I planned a surprise getaway for my family and told her to just pack her bags and come on. I knew where I was heading (deep in TN) and I can’t lie I had to pray extra heavy before I left that we had a positive experience and no crazy encounters. We stopped in Nashville to grab some breakfast along the way where we met this amazing couple. As we were standing in line the waitress asked if we would like to dine on the patio and we both said yes but when we got to the patio it was only one table available and the wife so freely asked “hey do you want to all sit together” it caught me off guard but I said yes of course let’s start this party off right”. Yall we shared laughs, great conversations and the husband paid for the bill since it was mom’s birthday 🥰 The Lord truly set the tone for the rest of our vacation starting with this couple. Encounter after encounter was so pleasant, welcoming, warm, hilarious, and positive with zero negativity. We met some really amazing people on this vacation and we had a time. Lord I thank you for allowing my mother to see 69 years of life and I pray you bless her with many more to come. This was awesome!
