Chic Chat and Chocolate!

Last night our church had a women's event for a few hours called Chic Chat and Chocolate!  They had a chocolate fountain, and about a million other desserts there... even a dessert contest.  I didn't win, but that's ok because I was hyped up on sugar, just like the other women there!  It was a good evening, and I met a lot of people, even though I know I won't remember all their names!!!  One cool thing... how many people know who Andy Griggs is?  He's a country singer... well, search him online if you don't know who he is.  But anyway, I met HIS WIFE last night!  She (and probably they when he's home) goes to our church!  She's one of the most hilarious women I have ever met, and she's a hairdresser, so I think I found my new hairdresser because I was just thinking the other day that I needed to get enough courage to find someone to do my hair.  I hate people touching my hair because I'm always afraid they will cut it wrong or mess it up real bad.  But anyway, that's a whole new topic!  Renee is great... and when I first met her, our conversation went something like this:

Renee:  How are you?  Have you been coming to this church very long?
Me:  I'm good.  I just started coming here about 3 weeks ago.  I just moved here from Washington.
Renee:  Washington STATE?!?!  (She was REALLY excited.)
Me:  Yep.
Renee:  I'M FROM WASHINGTON STATE!!!  I lived in Spokane... one of my kids was born in Walla Walla and one was born in Spokane!!
Me:  Oh really?  I grew up in Moses Lake!
Renee:  So what are you doing out here?
Me:  My husband brought me to Tennessee.
Renee:  Mine too.

That conversation was before I found out who her husband was... haha.  But it was exciting to meet someone that knew something about Washington, and even more exciting that her husband is pretty darn famous... but then again, we're in the Nashville area.  I think Gretchen Wilson (another country singer) lives a couple miles away from us... I know her house is somewhere here in Lebanon.  I'm just waiting to run into someone famous at Walmart... but I probably wouldn't even recognize them!
Here's a picture of Andy and Renee Griggs from some awards show... I found it online.  But she definitely wasn't wearing an evening gown last night... instead it was a Harley Davidson jacket and some jeans.
