TBT


This last weekend, Dan and I and some friends went to Minneapolis for the Trampled by Turtles cd release concerts. They packed First Ave on both nights, and it was pretty wild! For those of you who aren't familiar with TBT, they are four Duluth boys who plays some crazy bluegrass. They just released their 3rd album, "trouble", and they are definetly becoming quite the band. They tour all over the U.S., and play at big festivals, and sell out venues like First Ave, and they're from Duluth!!! I remember watching them play to crowds of 20 or 30 at Pizza Luce, and now they can't even play at Luce because the crowd is a fire hazard! Well, they put on a good show, and the crowd usually rocks, too. Just picture a bluegrass mosh-pit...... It's fun stuff.

beautiful subconcious thoughts.....


A few nights ago, I slept better than I had in a long time. And I dreamt about the most beautiful, intricate images and people. The image that stayed with me long after I woke up, was of my Grandpa Lee. He came to me in the most bizzare sort of house with a fountain running through it. He looked like a younger version of himself, like the pictures of him when he was in the war, jumping in the water and waves of the ocean. The thing that made me so happy, was that he was so vibrant! I truly felt that he came to me, spiritually and gave me a sign that he thinks of me, as I think of him, too. I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvinated. I don't know exactly what it all means, but I felt a strong presence of something out of this world. I was so excited to share this with my mom the next day, and she told me how he was a "prayer warrior." Thought and prayer are things that never leave our souls and I could feel the power of my Grandpa and his thought of me.

Hot New Ride....

Dan and I have just recently bought a new car. well, it's a '95, but it's new to us. I tried to find a decent picture of the car. It's black, and Dan wants to tint the windows, like we have on the Kia. I guess tinted windows will make any car look cool (hence the Kia...) but seriously, this mazda is so sweet!! and it was a steal. It's the nicest thing I've ever driven and probably the nicest thing I'll ever drive. It's fun to have something that actually has POWER! I don't have a picture of myself or Dan in the car, but I'm pretty sure we look frickin' awsome. Dan said he sees people staring at him all the time when he's driving now. Who knows if it's the car or the stud behind the wheel.....
