Steak n Shake, baby.

Seriously. One of the best burger places I have ever been.
Totally a highlight of my visit out here.

Sunday morning, I woke at 6:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. California time) sharp, put on my new casual and super cute dress, my gladiator sandals, did my hair and hopped in Kenny's truck and off to Harpeth Community Church. This kid has now sung in Tennessee. Yeah dawg, that's what up. After singing both services, saying goodbye to Darnell and some of my other new Southern friends, I came home and took the most glorious nap. Upon my awakening, I found that Kenny's doo-wop was here for rehearsal and they allowed me to sing with them, also a blast. Sunday evening, Kenny and Dona's friend was having a birthday celebration that I was so graciously invited to as well. And let me just say, one of the greatest nights of my Tennessee trip. AMAZING food, watching these people smile and sing and dance and just have fun was a blast.

Monday morning was my appointment at Belmont University and if we're being totally honest, I'm like 85% sold. 

Not only is this literally the most beautiful campus I have ever seen, but it's such an amazing community. They are in the heart of freakin' Nashville, just adjacent to Music Row!! They own multiple recording studios, including two actually located in Music Row and multiple ones on campus. They have a huge gym/event center where they hold concerts, debates and many different events. They have even had a presidential debate in there once! Belmont is a well-renown school, their music program has been #1 for years and their other programs have been in the top 20 for years as well. 

Needless to say, I'm about 90% sold on going there. Of course, finances are always something to worry about, but God knows how much I want this and God also knows what is best, so I'm holding to the truth that God will provide for me the best option... and I really hope it's Belmont because that place is so freakin' pretty.
(Freakin' amazing, right? Right.)

I am heading back home on Thursday. Not excited to be flying and hanging out in airports all day. But quite frankly, if you sit down at the gate, if gives you a great opportunity to determine what people would look like if they were cats. But after having told a few people that, I've realized that I'm the only person that does that. Oh well. To each his own, right? :P

Well, with all that being said, I'm excited to be coming home soon. I've really missed my family and friends, but being out here has taught me so much and left me with some amazing memories.

Later bro,
Kyls.
