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!

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.

A Pair of Birthdays...

Yesterday were two birthdays that I was too tired to blog about.

First off is Mr. Todd Wright. We all know how important this guy is to me. In fact he was part of the reason I was too tired to blog yesterday. Last night was his 40 by 40 finale show in Vienna, VA and of course I had to go. Only we didn't get home until around one and I had been up since 6 am.

Anyway Todd's music brought me to tears last night. It wasn't the first time but I was just so proud of him. He deserved all the attention he got last night. I am glad and lucky to know him. He is the kindest guy. It was great to see him and talk to him last night. He means a lot to me and I was happy that I could give him a little present from Florence on his big day.

The second birthday was my cousin Carly. She and my sister are only a few weeks apart but I can't believe how old they are getting. Carly is my southern belle cousin. She lives down in TN and we have so much fun when we visit. I miss ya cuz and hope to get down there soon!

Hope both of these guys had an amazing birthday with many more to come!

Peace and Love,

They Say It's Your Birthday...

My birthday party was on Friday and I had a fantastic time!! Most of my closest friends were there along with one boy, Saxman, and it was a perfect group of people. Todd came and was wonderful as always and it was so great to see him! Here are some pics from that night.
