We (Daniel Carter and Ammi Embry) married May 1, 2016 at Bicentennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a dream wedding.
Daniel and I are lucky enough to have two Bichon Bolognese puppies named Sir Magnus McFluffington and Squire Cirrus McFluffington. Magnus was beloved in downtown Nashville for nearly a decade because of his amazing sunglasses and shoes. Cirrus was a pandemic puppy if we ever saw one, and loves meeting new people (especially kids) and animals. Magnus and Cirrus are both expert travelers at this point, having visited many states in the USA and seven countries across Europe. Cirrus has spent a large part of his life in Europe and seems to speak better Hrvaski than anyone else in the family. He's our cuddle monster and our extrovert. Magnus is doing great for nearly 14 and has thrived in the walkable neighborhood we live in and with all our traveling. He's a grumpy old man, but he seems to be loving life despite it. He can spot another senior pup anytime on a walk and we know they're senior because his tail wags, excited to meet a comrade.
In the summer of 2013 we bought a condo in the South Broadway neighborhood of Nashville. We watched the neighborhood grow and change and loved it. In 2020 we needed more space and were ready for some peace and quiet. In September 2020 we bought a new home in the Crieve Hall neighborhood in South Nashville. In 2023 we took a month at the end of December and first of January to move across the world to Split, Croatia. We've loved our adventure living in Split, Croatia for all of 2023 and half of 2024. We have settled in beautiful Providence, Rhode Island, USA. New England life has been great, although winter has been... let's say "an adjustment". Despite this, we've found New Englanders universally welcoming and kind. Not always nice (by their own admission), but almost always kind. They frequently claim that they're rude, brash, and unwelcoming while simultaneously being some of the kindest, most welcoming folks we've ever met.
We're happy you've found us on the web and hope you take a minute to look around and learn a little about us, our lives, and our travels. The past few years have been hectic and we've not had a chance to share all our more recent adventure, we hope to catch up someday. We're loving New England and have visited Salem, Newport, the Berkshires, and the Hudson Valley to name a few places we need to share our adventures.

Aunt Ammi Reads The Tale of Peter Rabbit
For the first episode of this project, I wanted something short, something my nephew—whom I’ve never met in person—might enjoy, and something that captures the feeling of spring. Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter felt like the perfect choice. Her stories were some of my childhood favorites, and I’m sure I once read them to my brother. Now, from afar, I get to share them with his children too.Continue reading→
