The Lukers are...Tennesseans?

Yep, you read it right! This bunch of Lukers packed up and moved northeast to Franklin, Tennessee.

Jeff's dad offered him a brand spankin new job that doesn't require weekends at the office or super late nights most of the week.  Sounds too good to be true, right?!  It's legit (thanks, Target lady.)   Currently, we are living in the basement of Terry and Amy's. Well, Harrison gets the guest bedroom upstairs and Sam has abandoned us for Michael's bed.  Only for a couple more weeks, though.  We close on our new home (complete with a pool and HUGE yard!) on August 31.
Some of you may think I'm nuts, but when I was a senior in high school, we had to fill out our senior book and one of the questions was, "Where do you want to live when you're older?" And, yes, I put Nashville.  Now, while we aren't right in the thick of Nashville, we are about 20 minutes from downtown. And, I think this works out better since we have two tiny children.
We absolutely love it here! Jeff is loving his new job.  Harrison is about to begin soccer, and Huddy's teacher at his new school bears a striking resemblance to my Nanny, so he is loving school! Also, we have already seen my side of the family a couple of times, too. Nanny's family had a family reunion a few weeks ago, so we got to see Harv, Bett, Aunt Laura and Jeff!!  It's a lot easier to meet in the middle here as well.  The boys went and stayed for a whole 10 days in Alabama while Jeff and I went to Albany, New York for some training for his new job.  And Jesie came up and stayed for a couple nights when we got back. We should be seeing a lot more of her since we have tickets to home Alabama games and she is now residing in TUSCALOOSA!!  We are also a lot closer in proximity to Jeff's grandparents.  Harrison, Jeff and Papa went to hang out with them Saturday and from what I hear, Harrison and Nanny are BFF's after four scrambled eggs, mac and cheese, hot dogs, m &ms and ice cream...
While we do love it, we REALLY miss our Texas people! Teeny, Reese, Grayson and Baby Lucas have already made a trip out here to see us.  And we hope to see Gammy (NaeNae) out here soon!!! We are super ready for her to visit.  So, hurry up NaeNae!!

Packing up the Texas house! Adios!

Jeff and Terry drove all the way through during the move.  The boys and I decided to only do halfway one day, then the other half the next.  This was our night in the hotel.  :)
