I feel like I may have missed telling everybody a vital piece of information - my brother Bill has been in town for almost three weeks for work, and Toby and I have been able to spend quite a lot of time with him recently. As Bill said, we've spent more time together in the last three weeks than in the last ten years, and we are so grateful for the time together.
Bill has been stationed near Murfreesboro, about a 35 minute drive from us, and we finally convinced him to spend the night with us here in Franklin tonight.
Franklin, our new home, is SO FUN. Tonight there was a benefit for autism research, disguised as an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most people doing a shot of tequila at once. The event was apparently a big success (how could a benefit concert where shots are served be anything other than a big success?), and there was a representative from the Guinness Book of World Records in attendance. Keep your fingers crossed.
Anyway, what made the evening "The Best Cinco de Mayo Ever" was how much fun we had after the benefit. Bill wanted a tour of Franklin, and we made it approximately half a block before we came upon our favorite pub. An hour and a pint later I found myself stepping back and watching my brother and my husband laughing, talking and carrying on like childhood friends. In short, my husband and my brother are true pals, and it warms my heart. Best Cinco de Mayo Ever.
