thankful.

It’s that time of the year again- the time when we gather around the table with a glass of wine, some delicious food and of course, our closest friends and family. It’s the time of the year when we remind ourselves exactly why we are so blessed and for all the reasons we are thankful. As…

On Top of the World – Adventures with Imagine Dragons

“What do you love about music?” “To begin with… everything.” *** Sometimes, what starts as a wonderful adventure- turns into something so much more than you could have ever planned. Dave and I were nearing our anniversary and to celebrate our year together, I knew it would be only appropriate to surprise him with tickets…

Lord Huron: Strange Trails

Earlier in May, Dave and I went to see Lord Huron at the Observatory North Park in San Diego. They are currently touring for their sophomore album, Strange Trails. Psst.. You should probably go!  We had both seen the young band a few years ago when they opened for Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge.…

Dance Teacher Love.

“When I grow up, I want to be a dance teacher just like you!” Camryn, a four year old at my new studio came into class, grinning ear to ear and ecstatically informed me of her newest decision. Little phrases like this are a common frequency in the day of the life of a dance…

Berkeley, CA.

I felt the cool Northern California breeze rush through my bones as it snuck its way into my sleeping bag. I shivered and rolled over, amused by the sight of my friends all piled up together in the middle of Berkeley. Only a few crazies would do this, but I’m glad those crazies were my…

San Francisco Part 1.

With the sun beating through the Tahoe windows the next morning, I put on my glasses and peered up over the front window to see the beautiful mountains saying good morning. What a view to wake to! Before we could ever stretch, C jumped into the front seat, revved up the engine and away we…

Fresh Off the Highway.

What a crazy, busy, beautiful week it has been! My first week in Seattle is almost complete and I couldn’t be happier. I meant to be better about posting more, but life it seems has gotten in the way. Not quite into the ‘settling’ in routine, too much life to accomplish before I do that!…

SPAC- Til We Dance Away..

I spent this past weekend in Saratoga Springs, New York for a little Dave Matthews Band weekend. I’ve only been to New York one other time and the East Coast only a handful so I’m not the most familiar with the area. Ignorantly in my mind, everything on the East Coast is within like, 3…

We’re All Mad Here

Summertime is almost here! It’s time to say buh-bye to those winter blues, bust out the ‘ole sunnies and slap on that sunscreen. The days are longer, the weather is nicer and people are just plain ole more fun to be around. Oh, and for us that may be slightly insane, summertime means one thing…

THATH Adventures; Quebec City.

As I sit to reflect and write about my travels through Canada following The Head and The Heart, I can’t help but find a smile sneaking across my face. It was truly, truly a wonderful and special experience. My heart is so full. Not only are they wonderful musicians but also, truly wonderful and genuine…
