Alison Krauss. That's all I can listen to this week. Judah got me her new album with Union Station (I reaaally like them together), Paper Airplane. I love it. Can't take it out of my CD player. I love all of the songs..even the ones that Dan T..I can't spell his last name right..but I even like the songs that he sings..the kind of..bluegrass music that they play, I really like. And her voice..I could listen to it forever. Alison Krauss is the last artist that I absolutely have to see before she stops performing..My other goals were U2, Radiohead, Coldplay, Thrice, The Album Leaf..okay well I have a lot of favorite bands..but I saw all of them and more so now I have got to see AKUS.
In other news..we just got back from a mini vacation in Navarre Beach, Florida with Judah's family. We had a great time. I really like Navarre Beach..our condo was so nice. It was right on the beach. The beach wasn't packed with people like it often is in Destin..speaking of Destin, it was only about 25 minutes away. We went there to eat one night at this awesome restaurant named Dewey's..It's right near McGuire's..but it's on the water. When you turn off of the main road, it kind of looks like you are heading to a trash dump..It's pretty much a small shack on a dock. I think there were a lot of locals there and it was packed. They have fresh fish every day and we got grilled snapper..it was awesome. We pretty much just played on the beach every day..I got severely sunburned on the first day (-of course-) and was hurting the rest of the time..my nickname was Lobster legs..or Double L. I hate when I do that! I applied sunscreen seriously like 13 times a day after that. It was a great time just hanging out with Judah's family..we haven't all been together since our wedding. I'm thinking our next vacation will be up to Colorado to visit them..We miss them already.
Alsoooo..my inner fat kid came out severely this weekend..I saw this new blue bell ice cream, coconut fudge and I had to have it. So I found it yesterday..it was hard to find too..and it's almost as good as the mocha almond fudge..if y'all like coconut, you should totally try it..
OH! My mom finalllly came home from Italy, and had carpal and cubital tunnel surgery 3 days later..so now she is sitting at home probably reading this and trying to blog with her left hand..I'm hoping everything heals how it's supposed to..I'm gonna wait for her to get off of the pain pills to hear her Italy stories. She brought me exactly what I wanted for my birthday..a cameo ring!! It's so beautiful..I'm kind of scared to wear it or even take it out of the box..but I love it.
Ps..Judah made me watch the movie Salt..it was the worst. I didn't even make it half way through.
Hope you all sleep well..
we always go eat at deweys! yuuuuum. i love sitting on the dock. we thought the dirt driveway was also a little sketchy, but best fried shrimp ever.
ReplyDeleteYay! Judah got stuffed shrimp..it was shrimp with crap meat, wrapped in bacon and fried..I took one tiny bite and almost had a heart attack! Oh and the hush puppies were awesome..just like my dad always made!
ReplyDeleteyuuuuuum! i should get that sans bacon the next time (hopefully) i get to go!!
ReplyDeleteCommenting with my left hand:) i watched salt yesterday & i liked it! Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI also rented the kings speech and i liked that a lot too!
P.s. Italy was very beautiful & lots of good fun and great bonding time with noot & woots, but not as exciting & crazy as my first time there. In spite of the fact that i got to interact with a very diverse group of people, there was a certain sense of radical adventure that seemed to be missing for me....i think i just really did miss my sidekick ;-/
