Country Boys and Girls Gettin' Down on the Farm

So last week my mom and I decided to take a quick roadtrip to Nashville. My cousin from NY, Brian, is in a band, These Animals, and they are in the middle of a tour. When we found out they were coming to Nashville we figured why not? It's only 3 hours away. All of the other shows were too far to just hop in the car and drive. We had such a great time, and it was my first time hearing their music live. I really love their music. Check out their website here.

This is my only picture from the show and unfortunately it's from my phone. I had a better one where Brian's eyes were open; however, I accidentally deleted it. (I've had an iPhone for years, yet I somehow still manage to do silly things like that)


The morning after the show, we had breakfast with my cousin and his bandmates before heading back out of town.  (You're welcome for another awesome phone pic.)


We left Nashville and headed straight to my grandparent's farm in Paris, TN. We got there right before my little cousins were leaving to head back to Memphis. 

I was extremely tired because I had been out late with my cousin the night before. However, I had to be ready for my little cousins to attack me. They are always a ball of energy and love to roll around on the floor. We took a few pictures before they hit the road. (These were taken the same day as the previous photo, so no I did not just wear the same clothes for days in a row.)

Strike a pose

They were in charge of our poses

Funny faces, of course

I didn't stand a chance against them

24 isn't so exciting...

So my 24th birthday was last week. Wooho..wait 24? Number 1: I don't feel like I'm that old yet and Number 2: How anti-climactic is a 24th birthday? I can already vote, drink, smoke (even though I don't), and serve in the military; however, I still can't rent an SUV from a car rental.

Anyways, just thought I would share a few pictures from my birthday. I didn't take many pictures from the night we went out downtown. D wasn't feeling good, so we didn't stay out too late.

Thursday night (my birthday), D and I went to dinner at Texas de Brazil. Yum!


Here are a few pictures from our night out Friday night:




Here is further proof that I'm getting old and boring. This is one of the things my parents got me this year, and I was REALLY excited about it. D is excited about all the goodies I'll make him.

Birthday Dress!

The hunt is over...I found my birthday dress Thursday night when I dragged D with me to Macy's. Thank goodness since my birthday is Thursday! I'll be celebrating Friday night, and I was convinced I would be dress shopping until the day of my party!

Anyways, thought I would include a picture of it. Let me add a few things: 1. This dress is more of a drop waist, 2. It's not NEARLY this short on me. The model is probably at least 5'10", and I'm only 5'5" and 3. It's hard to tell from the picture but the bottom has large fringe hanging off of it.

I'm super excited! My birthday is always my favorite day of the year :)

Guess Who's Back....Back Again?

Everyone loves a little old school Eminem throwback.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I just wanted to share some of my pictures from my trip to Nashville last weekend for the Nicki Minaj/Britney Spears concert.

BFFF, me, and Laura our first night in Nashville

Thomas, our handsome host for the weekend.

At Cabana in our own cabana...so yummy!

Outside Cabana with my girls

Sunday Funday at The Stage on Broadway

BFFF and I headed to Britney



Yay!!! Such a good concert!!

So I know that there are no pictures from the show itself. I tried (really hard!) but none of them turned out. They're all just blurs of lights and people. Just take my word for it...the concert was AMAZING!! The best way to describe it would be to say that it was like a dance party with thousands of my closest friends. 

Happy Saturday!
