Hello. It's been a while. Too while! We have settle into our new home and have gotten to the point where we can actually park one car in the garage. This was a big step to feeling settled. We've been able to unpack everything for the most part but we still have a lot to do. We don't have anything up on the walls yet, for instance. But that stuff will come together over time. We just have to be patient and not try to do everything overnight. I do have to tell you guys that I bought a vaccuum cleaner online a couple of weeks ago and I'm not ashamed to tell you that it is SWEET! Since our entire downstairs is tile and I do the vaccuuming, I decided I needed something that worked well so I bought the Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1. When I opened up the box and put it together my immediate word for it was...sexy. Yes, I think a vaccuum cleaner is sexy. No apologies.
What else has B-Dub been up to? Well, besides talking in the 3rd person I've been working a lot. In more fun news, I went and saw Ben Folds in concert at UT a few weeks ago with my friend Travis. He put on an incredible show and I knew well over half of the songs which made it that much more enjoyable. I've never seen a dude so effortlessly tear up a piano! At one point, he had the crowd divided into the three groups and had us singing 3-part harmony! Incredible.
Music - I've expanded my music tastes a bit thanks to Chris. He let me borrow his Arcade Fire and Built to Spill cd's. I have not had much of a chance to listen to BTS yet, but Arcade Fire is really cool. They have this David Bowie-esque sound with really nice beats and swells in their music. No wonder Coldplay was going on and on about them at their ACL performance. Too bad I missed them! I've also been listening to the latest David Crowder Band cd. I love it. It is different from their others; it is more experimental which makes it good. I really felt some of its lyrics were timely with Kyle's passing in October. Check it out on iTunes if you get a chance.
Headed to the UT basketball game this afternoon with our dads. Let's see if they perform a bit better than last week's 31-point blowout against Duke. I hate freakin' Duke! But, I respect them. You've got to I guess, because they are consistently good and they normally don't have many punks on their teams. Well, maybe they do...
