SNOWMIGOODNESS!

It's Friday, it's Friday, it's FRI-YAYYYYYYYYYY!  Ya'll it's a big day around here, and I am squealing with excitement for a number of reasons.

We closed on our Louisville home today. This is so bittersweet, because we LOVE that house, LOVE Louisville, LOVE our friends, LOVE our family ... just so much LOVE there. It is home to the most amazing memories + where we officially became a family with a little one.  But, we've written those pages and the time has come to close that chapter it is time to move on to the next ... and we are ready! We will always look back on that home and those days in Owl Creek with so much joy and happiness. I hope the family that is moving in fills that house with as many bright smiles as we did. Sigh.

With every end comes a new beginning and closing on one home means... YOU GUESSED IT! ... CLOSING ON ANOTHER! Our new home in Tennessee, EEEEEK!  We close on Thursday and that makes me one happy gal. We are over the moon happy. I can't even explain it. (And obviously we like a style ... because our old home and our new home look eerily similar now that I see them side by side! Ha! ... And just because I thought I'd tell ya ... The garage doors are no longer white ... they're a dark brown :) )  Woot woot!  So excited to move in and get settled!

It's the start to a great weekend! We're headed out tomorrow to find a new washer and dryer for our NEW home ... and for some reason I'm looking so forward to it!  I think I'm just ready to have my things again, and get started fresh in our new place.  I am torn between whether I'm going to stick with my front loaders or switch back to a top loader. Any suggestions?

Sunday, Hubby and I have a hott date lined up!  I've mentioned before, our pride in our hometown band, Houndmouth ... and this weekend they are playing a show in Nashville and Mr. Shane and I will be singing along!  It's going to be the perfect way to celebrate all of the fabulousness we've been blessed with lately. "Saturday Night Kinda Pink" ... my current fave :) 

And last but not least, we were hit with another batch of snow madness, and I am so hoping this was the last little trick mother nature had up her sleeve. This final snow (I hope) means we're so close to SPING! We made the most of it however with blanket forts, snowball fights, and ice cream!  An excellent send off to a memorable winter. 

I mean for real. These guys ... sheesh. I just love em!

Children and the the amazement in their eyes, when it snows. I wish I could bottle that up. So much happy.

Come on spring! We're all rooting for you! Have a great weekend gang ... we'll just be happy dancing away down here :)

Houndmouth

A big shout out to Houndmouth!

Houndmouth is a collaborative folk rock band from the farmlands of Indiana and Kentucky. Their poetry emphasizes foolhardiness, and their soulful harmonies carry far. Once a folk duo, Katie Toupin and Matt Myers (of the Saint James Hotel) joined up with Shane Cody (Riffraff Revival) and Zak Appleby to create a colossal electric sound with bouncy half-time beats, punchy guitar riffs and a bit of facial hair.

*Shameless claim to fame plug* 
I went to school with Katie and Shane (the two pictured in the middle) ... and am so happy for their success! 

They were on Conan O'brien last night and killed it! Check it out below:

They also just celebrated the release of their first album: 

From the Hills Below the City 

(album cover pictured above).

You can check it out on iTunes here or Amazon here.

I want to wish them continued success and good fortune on their journey!  We're all rooting for you!
