She and Him

So, tonight I went and saw the She and Him concert with M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel.  It was amazing.  Zooey has an incredible voice and the concert was way fun.  I was right up front and my camera battery was dead, so I don't have pictures for you.  One thing I oddly noticed was that Zooey has the most amazing skin.  It is white and creamy looking.  It is too bad that people think they have to tan their skin to death in order to look beautiful.  Anyway, Zooey was adorable, has an amazing voice, and I love how expressive her face is.  M. Ward was great too, pretty amazing guitar player I must say.  So, if they are coming to a town near you...I recommend it.  

Why Accents?

Why do people randomly say single words in a sentence with an accent?  It is such a funny thing to me.  I was out to dinner with some friends last night and I was deciding what type of pasta to order.  My friend Kelly dared me to order my dinner with an accent.  So, I did. When the server came I ordered pasta with (my best impression of an Italian accent) ARRABBIATA sauce.  Unbelievably I kept a straight face.  

Got Chiggers?

I do!

Andy and I were doing a photo shoot at a lake this week.  The scenery was gorgeous and green. Perfect breeding ground for pesty little chiggers.  We didn't wear bug repellant...OOPs.  Chiggers bite and leave a wound similar to a mosquito bite...but it is worse.    

The welts didn't show up until the following morning and I was covered in them...about 60-70 bites.  Strange thing about chiggers is they bite you where your skin is the thinnest and clothes fit you the tightest.  So I don't have any bites where my skin was exposed.  But my thighs, hips, back of the knee and stomach are covered.  And, the welts last up to two weeks.  It is taking all my strength to resist itching these nasty things so that I don't leave scars on my skin.  Go here to learn more about chiggers.  (p.s.  I am making my prettiest face possible for you in these pics)

My Home - Room With a View

I currently live in downtown Nashville. I have never lived in a city before and I am really enjoying the experience. These are some pictures I took from my apartment balcony.

This is our amazing couch that Andy bought for us after he signed his record deal. We are working on breaking it in still.
We have an old church next door (I do live on Church Street).

I can actually see my office building from my room. I love walking to work everyday.



I got this artwork at the local Thrift Smart. It was only a dollar, and it is an original signed by the artist. I don't know who Laura Upton is but I love looking at it and wondering who she is. She obviously loved her home and her dog.


This is my happy home!
