GHOSTS THAT AREN'T SCARY

I love pretty tunes! I could go on and on today about music. Like the cotton slogan. It's the fabric of our lives. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing an old friend from high school play some pretty melodies here in Nashville. I would have written about this a while back, however, I felt the need for a few old school/blackmail pictures to include. At this moment, I am back in Memphis and was able to get some pictures scanned from our world's pre-digital days. Enjoy.

So, my friend from high school, Trey, and his family went for a drink and then headed over to The End on Elliston to see sweet friend Brandon Kinder and his band The Rocketboys. A.) Music = Enchanting B.)Their t-shirts are very soft and comfortable. C.) Brandon's voice is so clear live. Heart.

I bought the full album 20,000 Ghosts on iTunes and can't stop listening. My personal favorite that tends to be on repeat is the song All the Western Winds. I love it. So for your listening pleasure I have included a video of my favorite AS WELL as some cute pictures from high school.

STRAWBERRIES!!!!

Okay. Not exactly strawberries, however, I am loving this blog! Have you read it before? It is called Strawberry Koi and focuses on vintage style. So much inspiration can be drawn from the pretty outdoor photographs and whimsical clothing. I LOVE IT! You should probably add it to your favorites. Heart!

Rain, Naked Juice, and Springtime

As I sit here writing, it is pouring down rain outside. Apparently most of my neighborhood has no power. Luckily, I am not one of those people and here I am typing away on a computer that is plugged in and full of power. Sorry, neighbors!

So, I haven't written in a while and I think an update is necessary. I have had ALOT going on as of late and it is sometimes a bit overwhelming. I am working hard at school right now. I am pretty sure that I have read more this semester than I did in my entire four and a half years of undergraduate studies. My brain feels a bit fried. I am looking forward to my trip home to Memphis in two weeks. Five days of doing absolutely nothing. I am ahead on my school work, won't be working, and plan on just RELAXING. Hopefully the weather will be pretty!!!!! I so enjoy getting excited about Spring!

LENT UPDATE: I have NOT cheated. Janae and I both have gone three weeks without a coke! Yes, there have been headaches. I am taking two Advil Migraine a day right now which is probably not the healthiest choice, however, I think the headaches should fade soon. I don't really know long they typically last, but I am ready for them to go away.

Since I can't have cokes, I am becoming more open to other beverages including my new favorite...NAKED JUICE! Yum! Have you had one???? My favorite so far is Red Machine which consists of raspberries, strawberries, and pomegranate! I am pretty sure I will be running to my local Whole Foods and stocking up on every flavor immediately. I am particularly anxious to try Peach Mangosteen Bliss! MMMMMMM!!!
