Love Is All You Need...

On Sunday my mom and I drove out to Jammin Java to go to the second annual "All You Need Is Love" Show. You might remember that we went last year for Valentine's day. It was so good this year! I love it whenever these four talented guys get together to play. They each have such a different sound and put their own spin on things. It's so cool to just be able and sit there and listen to all the new songs they've written. It was a great night. Todd only brought red instruments in honor of the holiday. And they did some of my favorite songs! It was a gret night and a great show with a couple of my favorite guys!


Peace and Love,

Thunder Road...

On Sunday my mom, Heather, Alyssa, and I headed to Jammin Java for te Songwriter's Cirle Tribute to Bruce Springsteen. It was my one big last horrah before school started. The show was great! The guys all played beautifully! Great to see all of them again. Peace and Love,

Love Is Like A Broken 45...

So last Wenesday my mom, Heather, Alyssa, Jenna, and I went out to Vienna, VA to see Todd celebrate his 40th birthday by playing a show. We had so much fun! The music was fantastic. Todd played all 40 of his new songs! We didn't get home until near 1 am but mom and I grabbed a chocloate frosty for the long drive home. We all had such a great time and can't wait to see Todd play again soon.

Scott Simons. Todd's writing partner and opening act. We all had a crush on him by the end of the night.

All You Need Is Love....

As promised here are photos from last night. For Valentine's we went to see our good friend, Todd Wright, and three other songwriters play at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA. The show was called "All you need is love: Beatles tribute and other love songs" It was fantastic! Such a perfect way to spend Valentine's day. My whole family went along with my friend Alyssa and her mom.
It was great to see Todd (it had been six months since I last saw him!) he is one of my favorite people in the whole world!
I hope everyone enjoyed their night as much as I did!

Love, Em

Moving On...

I've been trying to get my mind off of a lot of things lately so I have been trying to keep busy. First off on Sunday I made chocolate and cherry cupcakes which I was very pleased with :) Wednesday was a work party to say goodbye to my good friend Christa. She is basically the only person who I have been able to share my Hanson obsession with. Her and her hubbie are getting ready to move to NYC so she can finish up college at Columbia :) It was a really fun party at which we played games that had to do with guessing some of our grossest patients at the office and testing the boys on their knowledge of our crazy work place. It was also my mom's first try at sushi which she is now addicted to!! (This pic of Christa and I is from a Hanson concert in DC in 2007) Thursday I went to go and see good friend and amazing musician Todd Wright do his first solo show in a long time at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA. It was fantastic and Todd did a great job as usual :) It was really nice to hear some of his unreleased material again. Finally today we went down to the Eastern Market in DC! It was great! I have been hunting for the best used bookstore for a while and right now Capital Hill Books is at the top of the list. It's wall to wall books and although the appearance looks cluttered it's organized and there is something beautiful in all the chaos. I picked up a book that I have been wanting for a long time in hardback and pretty good condition :) Overall it was a great day!Here's me with my lemonade from Port City Java and my newly purchased book!! I want to thank everyone who has been keeping us in their prayers. All the comments and thoughts I have received have really been helpful! Hope everyone has had a great weekend. And is energized to go into a new week of exploring God's beautiful creation!

Peace and Love,

Em
