i love orange juice

I love orange juice. In fact, I'm drinking it right now. I also love grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, apple juice, pomegranate juice, and combinations of those juices. Also, only 100% juice. Juices from concentrate usually have a ton of sugar and are unbearably sweet.

I haven't posted in a while because my computer power cord shorted next to the plug. So I've only been able to use my computer at the Warren's because Natalee has the same computer as me. Not that we have a shortage of available computers in the Holm household. Sheesh... I'll admit it is a little ridiculous.

Also, I haven't really had anything to post about because we're about to go to Nashville and nothing I write now is going to be as good as that photo post. I'm so excited!!! It will be 10 hours of ridiculous road trip followed by 3 full days of fun followed by another 10 hours of ridiculous road trip. I need to make sure my camera battery is charged!

I can't believe that this month is halfway over already. This year has flown by. The older we get the faster time flies. That means that when I have kids, they'll be 18 and out of the house before I know it. Oh wait, no that's wishful thinking. :) just kidding.

I can't wait to go to Nashville! I can't wait to go to Nashville! Woopdeeedooop!

Next time I promise to post something not boring.

a week via iphone


Since the Arts and Jazz Festival was too packed and all the good acts had already played, jeff and I went to Southlake last Saturday, instead. They too were having a music and arts festival. This guitar was made by a sculptor that used slate and river stones to make fountains and wall sconces, etc. This guitar was about 6 ft. tall and after guessing how much it weighed (stone is heavy!) we were informed that it was only 65 lb. Jeff guessed 300. 


These are my four o'clocks... last week. Now they're about 4 inches tall. My morning glories at the time hadn't yet sprouted but now they're precious little sprouts! My great-grandmother Davis' house was surrounded by four o'clocks in the most vibrant and colors. She died several years ago but things like four o'clocks and honeysuckle keep her memory alive. They kind of embody who she was: beautiful, cheery, sweet. 


Jeff came over last week when I was with Olivia. She likes boys... already. Sheesh... He likes babies, but gives them back when they poop or spit up. He's not ready for babies either. :)



Sweet, sweet Liv. 



This is much better than the other face she made that morning while screaming at me. 


 

Alyssa and I spent the day together yesterday. We went shopping, had lunch, got pedicures, and went to the garden department at Home Depot. It was so great to have girl time. She is so magical! I feel like when she walks she leaves a trail of fairy dust behind her. :)


We're going to Nashville in 12 days for Kenny's graduation. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I love traveling and road trips. Except for doing the laundry AFTER the road trip, of course. This will be Jeff's and my first real married road trip. We drove to San Antonio but 5 hours hardly counts as a real road trip, I think. 10 hours is a real road trip. We're going to be so tired. 

We'll be spending some time in the studio which means I need to schedule a shoot with Ryan Ray and find someone to build me a website. I don't know anything about building websites or anything. I tried to get ideas for a logo of sorts, and I just got overwhelmed. 

I've written a few new songs the past couple days that I'm really excited about. I've also been setting up gigs which all of you will be required to come to. Nobody has heard me play my own music in a long time. So I will see you there. I'll let you know when they will be.
