That Time I Saw Relient K

I love this city. My heart leaps when I see the sign proclaiming that I have entered "Metro Davidson County, Home of the Grand Ol' Opry." I love Nashville! Something about this city makes me feel cozy, happy, and content. I have many bad memories here, but many amazing moments that far outweigh the bad.

Like getting to see Relient K in concert. Who doesn't love Relient K? This was a very small show, and as it turned out, it was actually their rehearsal for Van's Warped Tour. It was intimate and cozy. I fully enjoyed myself until the third to last song. Unfortunately I became quite ill and had to miss out on Sadie Hawkins Dance and Be My Escape. Bummer. But it was all totally and completely worth it!

In other news, I have a nasty case of writers block that I am determined to overcome. I go to write and I just...can't. It's an awful feeling.

Summer Night, Fading Light

I love summer evenings. The sound of crickets, the occasional rain crow. Queen Anne's Lace swaying in the hot breeze. Soon, the grass will be dead. The humidity will be unbearable. But for now, the summer evening is beautiful.

I have quite a trip to take tomorrow. I'll post more on that later, I promise.

"This is what makes man great, his ladder to the stars." -Mumford & Sons

Put on some folk music and some bug spray. Sit outside and watch the sun sink below the horizon and the stars begin to twinkle in the eastern sky. Cherish the warm breeze and the cool grass beneath your bare feet.

(erm, just typed bear feet. not good.)

Instagramy Goodness

 Behold! A random selection of some of the photos I've taken on my iPhone and edited with Instagram. It is by far the best free photo editing app, especially if you're going for that lomo look!

This week has been insanely busy, but I have a few special blog posts planned for the near future, so stay tuned!

Sweet Summatime

Because sometimes, you just gotta wear two pairs of shades.

Macro Organ

Entering the macro photo challenger over at Little Somethings! This is an up-close shot of the organ pulls on the pump organ my dad has in his office. It's from the 1800s, and it is so much fun to play, even if you are worn out by the end of one song. Ha! :) The pull in focus is the Sub Bass pull, if anyone was wondering.

Short Hair!

So today, I did something a little crazy.

And I pretty much love it. :)

It's cooler, easier to style, and a heck of a lot cuter than my previous hair style. :)

Let Them Eat Cake

I always feel so awkward when titling blog posts. Does one capitalize every word like a proper title demands? I believe so, regardless, I feel awkward doing so.

Anywho, I had a beautiful day Saturday with my family! We went to a sweet little tea room, some antique and thrift stores, and then a few big-box retailers and the mall. We topped the day off with a dinner at Zios. It was quite the lovely day!

Oreo cake. I wanted to die from happiness.

Mine is the owl ring. big surprise! The other ring is my promise ring. ;)

 

 

 

 

My outfit for the day. Love those shorts!

Also, the sky has been utterly beautiful lately. I think the summer sky is my favorite. The clouds are fluffier, the color more blue. Sometimes I just want to fall into it.

And as a random note, I discovered today that you can have domesticated foxes as pets. Squee! I want one!
