It's a Love Story, Baby Just Say "Yes"...

Check out those two love birds, pretty adorable huh? Today is the 44th anniversary of my parent's wedding. They have one of the BEST love stories ever, it's like a fairytale! For the 38 years they had to celebrate together my dad always made a HUGE deal out of this day: flowers and a great meal (usually calamari included) and some bling! But the real magic of their marriage was how they treated each other every day, the little moments are the ones that counted the most and gave me the best example of what a loving, happy marriage should be.

 

Thanks mom & dad for taking a chance on love- for being crazy kids determined to make things work, even when "there was a war on". August 24th will always have a special place in my heart, it's a great day to be in love :)

There goes my baby, with someone new...

BAD NEWS BEARS ALERT!!!! As some of you may remember (no one will remember because no one cared the first time because it's weird) I have a seriously strong love for the group Band of Horses. Not only is their music amazing, but one of their guitar players, Tyler Ramsey, is a seriously tall drink of water that has caught my fancy. Here he is singing one of my favorite songs he wrote, "Evening Kitchen"...

Ah, sweet, sweet Tyler. Clearly the lyrics of this song are a desperate message that your poor, giant heart has been broken and you can only be healed by love of one tall girl named Mindy (let me have this one guys). Well, I've been planning my attack, er... "courtship" ever since I learned of the tiny solo show you, yes YOU Tyler Ramsey, would be playing in my hometown this October. A teeny, tiny (one might even say INTIMATE) solo performance- the perfect place to meet and fall in love with a proportionally sized, single young woman. Well, imagine my HORROR when, while researching info on his latest solo album (NOT stalking him- you can prove nothing), I came across this news.

Isn't that just my luck? 11 days before my assault, er... "introduction" was to happen he goes off and gets married to some adorable woman who's probably insanely nice and will live out her days as the love of his life. What is up with that!?!?! The only positive spin to this situation will, hopefully, be many many MANY more love songs by Tyler and Band of Horses.

I hope nobody reads this blog and bans me from the show next week... things could get messy if I miss seeing him live.

What I feel, I can't say...

 

I listened to this George Harrison song about 47,000 times while Google searching "love", because that's the kinda day this Wednesday has turned out to be. I also looked at my old tumblr account and found these bits of inspiration here. 

Here's to a LOVELY day (and hoping this inspiration sticks)!
