devasation

the grigsby's are back in action in murfreesboro after a week of family/friends/christmas/new years/birthday time in south knox. it felt strangely good to come back. i guess its that this place is where we have started building our lives together. either way, the peace of returning to murfreesboro was completely thrown within the hour that we were home. since we were starving and hadn't gone grocery shopping yet, the obvious answer to our problem was lenny's sub shop. i had gotten a gift card to lenny's for my birthday. so, even though they are a bit over priced ($6.50 for a sub, not including drink and chips) we were excited to eat our favorite meal for free. we arrived, and soaked in the sights and smells without knowing what was to come. our sandwiches were made to perfection, but as we were paying the girl said, "just so you know, we're gonna be closed tomorrow." now this was a big enough let down because we always eat lenny's after church on sundays unless we are completely broke. we asked when they would be open again, and she replied, "never." WHAT THE WORLD!! i'm pretty sure my heart literally broke. we ate our sandwiches in utter disbelief and decided that we would have to eat dinner there also in order to salute lenny's properly.

what a loss. lenny's was where adam and i had our first quasi-date, where my brother convinced me to do work crew at frontier (where i came heart to heart with christ), where adam and i had some of the best conversations, where my best friends and i knew we would see each other (if just that once) every sunday, where i went to feel some joy in the first few months i had moved here, and we can't forget that they are who catered our wedding. rest in peace my sweet murfreesboro lenny's.
