Noah's Road

Today my friend Stephanie, who now lives in DC, called me with a heartbreaking story.

When Steph and her husband where in their birthing class they became close with two of the other couples. They have gotten closer having play dates with their babies and outings with the parents. It's been a blessing for her to find great people to share this special time in her life being so far from home. I know she is grateful for their friendship, and I'm grateful she has them since her friends and family here can't be there.

On April 20th one of these family's lives changed forever. They dropped their little boy Noah of at their child-care-giver's home for the day. Erin, the mom, had painstakingly searched for a qualified person to watch her son. She interviewed and rejected many candidates before choosing a women that she thought would love her son like her own. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Now her son is in the hospital fighting for his life suffering from Shaken Baby Syndrome.

Please visit their blog Noah's Road, and please send them your prayer and/or positive thoughts for their son to make a complete recovery. If you could pass this along to others or post it on your blog that would be great too.

Even with these being so recent and fresh, Erin and Mike are trying to use this event to educate caregivers, babysitters, and other parents on this issue. My heart goes out to you, Mike, Erin, and Noah.

Orange Beach Pics

This was me in happier times, weeks ago when I was visiting the beach, and the loves of my life, the boys from Panic.

Thanks, Kari, for e-mailing these photos. I was super peeved when I realized I left my camera at home, but you saved the day!

Dave Matthews , No Thanks, I'll Stick With Panic

So this past Saturday we headed over to Nashville to go to the Dave Matthews' show. Greg got me tickets to these tickets as a birthday gift. I wanted them because I thought we weren't going to be able to catch any Panic spring tour shows. Fortunately we got to go to Panic last weekend in Orange Beach because the Dave show blew!

The crowd seemed to be a combination of middle aged women and teenagers on a date. Unfortunately for Greg one the middle aged women was sitting behind him. As soon as we got in he sat down, glanced over his shoulder, and got an eye full. She had a really bad combination going of a short skirt, poor grooming habits, and a lack of lady-like leg crossing. GROSS!

Anyways, pretty much all the songs Dave played were exactly like his studio CDs. NO JAMS to speak of. He's pretty much a sellout. At double the price of a Panic ticket, and I could have just sat at home and listened to the CD.

Of course we still made the best of it, and we were dancing and having a great time. This is apparently something that the teenage lovers and bush women didn't approve of. Apparently dancing and fun was not allowed.

It was great seeing our Nashville friends though. I will have some photos of everyone to post once my camera arrives back from Nashville. It escaped fro my bag and decided to hang out at our friends Chase house for another day or two.

Happy Hump Day!

Make sure you watch with the sound on!

                                 Get your hump on today!

Orange Beach Trip

We're back from the trip to Orange Beach over the weekend, and we had the best time. The beach itself was not so great, but Panic was.

We did get a few hours of sun on Friday and Saturday, but the rest of the time was overcast or cloudy. It was enough to get my shoulders brown which is a lot more color than I had before.

Panic was so amazing and so were North Mississippi Allstars and Keller Williams. The shows really ignited my fire to want to see more live music. We already made plans to see a few bands next month.

I totally forgot my camera for the trip, but my friend Kari took some photos that I will post as soon as she emails them to me.
