I don't know much....but I know I love you

...and that may beeee alll I neeed to knoooow.

I hope you enjoyed my song. What? You better know this song. I linked a really dramatic live version. enjoy. I hope Melissa's future husband wears a denim cut off vest like that. Amy, yours will wear jorts.

SO. I survived family visit...and I'm pretty sure they had a good time, which means my tour guide skills are getting better. By the time you ladies visit, we'll be in good shape. I will ask that you wear your walking shoes though :) MawMaw didn't. Photos for you to treasure forever.

I started training for the Chicago 1/2 marathon this week. It's kicking my butt, but I'm excited about the challenge. September 12th...here I come.

We started our summer residencies this week. We had 2 days of workshops to start the program...which was less than exciting. Client meeting tomorrow, so I'm starting to get excited.

I've been trying to spend time outside to enjoy my 4 months of sunny, warm weather, but the humidity is turning my hair into effing cotton ball hair. noooooooo bueno. so, Ashley will be single 4 life living in Chicago with her cotton ball hair, so I call flower girl at both of your weddings :)

Not much else to report. I'm glad to see that life is continuing as usual in B'ham. Melissa doesn't answer OR return phone calls, Amy is enjoying time with Sophie...the usual :)

Miss you!

don't fret...it's Friday!

hello and happy Friday to you all! as P (exlamation point) ink would say, I'm ready to get this party started. and by party, I mean weekend. I'm heading to St. Simons to see the fam and to celebrate Mama Jordan's birthday. I haven't been home since Christmas, so I'm excited to spend a few days there (and have some time off work)! some things I hope we'll do: hit up the beach, make mom drink a margarita, hear some music at the local coffeehouse, go to a restaurant where they do something embarrassing in order to make you feel special on your birthday. something I know for a fact my mom and I will do: go to Jacksonville to see Brandi Carlile in concert! ooooooooooooo OOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm very pumped to see her again, but I'm really excited my mom is getting to see her perform live for the first time with me. I've turned her into a pretty big fan, so it should be a pretty awesome time.

I hope Amy has blogged about our trip to Decatur, because it was pretty spectacular. uncle Bob and aunt Mary are by far two of the coolest people I've ever met. very good times last weekend. I think we need to make a trip back there soon, visit with them and catch a show at Eddie's Attic. I've always wanted to see a concert there, so, let's do that! I'm going to work the merch table for the 3 out of Tenn show at WorkPlay on 6/13...Trent Dabbs, Andrew Belle and Andy Davis. kind of random, but I saw a tweet that they needed help, and I replied. sell some t-shirts, listen to some music, I can deal with that.

In other news, I hear that McDonald's recalled 12 million Shrek glasses. so, sadly, y'all are gonna have to get those out your mouth. well, that's all from me for now. y'all have a fantastic weekend! Ash, I'm glad you'll be done with classes for a while! and I think that means akschell and I will be visiting soon!

lata,
mj

Not your mom's house.

Hey, blog. Long time, no see…sorry about that. It’s been a crazy few weeks, but I think things are starting to settle down. This past weekend, we went to Decatur to visit my aunt and uncle and to see the local Decatur Arts Festival. She wanted me to scope it out for a possible venue for my stuff, so we went. It was great weather and we had a good time with them. I bought this from the hands of Kreg Yingst:
It’ll go up next to my Alex Leopold piece in my office. It looks a lot like this one:

Seven minutes after pulling in their drive, my uncle had a spread of cider and cheese ready for us. Don’t miss it, seven. Out of control, and that’s how the rest of the time was, just ask Melissa. Visited a restaurant my sister had recommended from her trip to Decatur, Leon's. It was a pretty special trip-- got a burger with salad and great fries. Sort of like a FLIP place but more homey and housed in an old refurbished service station downtown. Then Sunday we were off to Lawrenceville for a wedding outside and of course it started raining/sprinkling during the ceremony. This is what I was busy doing afterwards:
Got back late Sunday and got right back in the car Monday morning for a 6-hour lovely journey to LaTech in Ruston, LA for work. Came back on Tuesday just in time to start my summer internship of Sophie Care. That’s right, for the next 2 months, it’s me and the Sophs. Don’t be jealous.

After I pick up the last roll of pictures today, I’ll post some of the latest and greatest photos from my grandfather’s camera. Ashley, I have a good one of you and Bella, so get excited. Oh also, check out Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. It’s my newest purchase and was suggested by my aunt. They are pretty great. Oh snapfish, we haven't talked about LOST. I'll have to show y'all some pictures from the sweet party we had, fully decorated house and LOST food. I'll save it for next time! BW!
