The playlist for today’s drive (thanks to all who contributed music to our ipods prior to the trip): -“Old Tyme Religion” -Hugo -“My Head is an Animal” -Of Monsters and Men -“Torches” -Foster the People -“Some Nights” -Fun We began our drive across America bright and early this morning, leaving Lexington early enough both to…
going away. way away.
The journey to Oregon begins tomorrow (or today, by the time you’re reading this). Crazy. Absolutely crazy. Our absolutely wonderful small group threw us a going away party last Sunday. They may be some of the best party throwers around. It was Oregon themed, with blue and yellow decorations (apparently Oregon’s state flag is blue…
what we’ll miss about lexington (round 2).
I suppose a better title for this post would be “What we’ll miss about Louisville,” as none of the people involved in this post actually live in Lexington. But I guess one of the things we’ll miss about Lexington is the proximity of Lexington to Louisville, and therefore the proximity to all of these wonderful…
a spontaneous trip to charleston.
Eric and I are not spontaneous people, by any means. Generally, spontaneity makes us nervous. We are planners to the core. Take our past vacations, for example. We researched the areas, made reservations and itineraries to make sure we did everything we wanted. We are people of lists. But last weekend, we threw caution (and…
a trip to nashville.
We spent last weekend in Tennessee with my parents, celebrating Father’s Day (a little late) and exploring Nashville. We kicked Saturday off with a donut breakfast enjoyed on the river walk, followed by a trip to the Clarksville farmer’s market. Then we drove into Nashville to enjoy the 96-degree temperatures outdoors at Centennial Park. (This…
oregon.
Eric, here. I think it’s best if I just state this bluntly. We’re moving to Oregon. That’s right; you read that correctly. You may have heard us talk about it as a possibility, but our plans are now official. I will be starting the University of Oregon’s MBA program in September and I’m totally jazzed….
family and strawberries.
Over the weekend, we ventured down to Clarksville to visit my dear parents as an early mother’s day/mom’s birthday celebration. Yes, folks. That does mean that we watched the Kentucky Derby in Tennessee. It was weird. But we ate Derby pie (or should I say “the first Saturday in May pie” because “Derby pie” is…
san diego: the last days.
We were really spoiled with eating out for breakfast on this trip. I think my usual morning yogurt is going to taste lame in comparison. We ate at Pannikin during our last two mornings in San Deigo. This place is super cute because it used to be a train station, and now it’s a coffee…
san diego: the middle.
Our second full day in San Diego was, by far, my favorite day of the trip. We started off with a hearty breakfast at The Daily News in Carlsbad. I think the real star of this meal was the toast. Whole wheat toast with the perfect amount of buttery goodness. Oh my. It was glorious….
san diego: the first days.
San Diego is a little bit like a foreign country. I don’t recognize any of the plants. The geography is crazy. And everyone speaks with an Italian accent. But it is incredibly beautiful! We’ve been hearing all kinds of stories about the wonders of California since the Ringers moved there last summer, and we finally…
san diego.
Hello! We’re back from our mini-vacation to visit Eric’s parents in San Diego. Before I get started on the day-by-day blogging, I want to share my initial thoughts on sunny Southern California: 1. There are a lot of plants. Seriously. If you are looking for a career in landscaping, I’m sure someone in San Diego…
the campbells visit kentucky.
A few days ago, we were blessed with the opportunity to host one of my very favorite couples in the whole world, the Campbells. Becca and I met while working as camp counselors in Washington way back in 2008. Since then, we’ve kept in touch through extensive facebook messages (thanks, Mark Zuckerberg), phone calls, and…
the rest of the holiday.
Aside from our themed Christmas extravaganza, we had a few more celebrations in store for the holiday season. We celebrated Christmas with my parents and sister on Christmas Eve morning, the first Christmas in my parents’ new house in Tennessee. Luckily, Matt Wertz released a Christmas album this year with a song titled, “Tennessee Christmas,”…
christmas morning breakfast casserole.
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. We had a very exciting Christmas-filled weekend, starting on Friday in Nashville. Dave Barnes, one of my absolute favorite artists of all time, performed his “Very Merry Christmas” show at the James K. Polk Theatre. If you aren’t already a fan of Dave (do people like that…
thanksgiving break (and the big Christmas theme reveal).
Well, it seems that Thanksgiving has already come and gone. Isn’t it crazy how quickly that happens? I’m a little sad that December is about to begin. As much as I LOVE Christmas, I am growing increasingly tired of cold weather, which does not bode well for the upcoming season of snow and ice (or…
