We moved to Omaha five years ago this past July. Some days it seems like we just left, and other days it feels like we've lived here forever. Hardest decision we've ever made, but definitely the best. Memphis will always hold a special place in our hearts, and it was high time we got back for a visit...if only for a few days. We had a whirlwind weekend and did not get to see nearly everyone or everything we wanted to, but we made the most out of the time we did have!

| This was definitely a sight for sore eyes! |
Our first day in town we headed to get donuts at one of our favorite places and then headed downtown to The Peabody. We wanted to do a few "touristy" things while we were in town, and we thought the girls would love this. Of course, they did! They got front row seats and loved seeing the ducks' house on the rooftop.

After The Peabody we headed to St. Jude to have lunch with our friend Patti and visit Jovan's old co-workers. This was a very successful trip because it just so happened that Justin Timberlake was also there when we were. Yes, he was two feet away from me. No, I did not speak to him. He was on a tour that was being videoed and photographed with Marc Gasol, Mike Connely, and several patients. Couldn't bring myself to be psycho fan in that situation, haha!
When we left St. Jude we headed to meet some friends at the zoo. Omaha has an amazing zoo, so people were confused as to why we were wasting time at the Memphis Zoo, but I had to argue that the Memphis Zoo is pretty amazing too! We had a blast! That evening we had dinner with Jovan's mom, and then we spent the night over at Jovan's best friend's parents' house catching up with them and giving them a glimpse into the life of the crazy Tosic girls!
Saturday I got up and ran all around Collierville. It was so weird to run in a place that I never even had the slightest thought of running in 5 years ago! We had BBQ for lunch, and then we headed around town to run some errands. Memphis was playing the football game of the year, and it was so fun to see everyone all excited about that! We still supported our Huskers though!

That night we got to spend some time with our dear friends the Bradshaws. It was so good to just sit and catch up! Made me miss our time there for sure!

This banana pudding is my most favorite thing in the world. Best part of my trip!

On our last day we met up with my boy bestie and his sweet little family. That did my soul good! We were also fortunate to run into a few of Jovan's friends in mid town as well, so we got very lucky!

| Lainey wanted us to take a "silly" picture, so here we are looking absolutely ridiculous! |
After lunch we headed out of town. We were compelled to stop by the new Bass Pro Shop on our way out, and no trip to BPS is complete without a little shooting practice! We've been known to spend several dollars in quarters doing this, hehe!
We had such a great time, and we were definitely convicted about our lack of visiting. We did not get to see nearly everyone we would have liked to, and we will definitely schedule more time on the return trip. We will be back sooner than later, M-Town!
