Little Rock Adventure

This weekend marks
the third weekend
in a row
that I’ve taken
a road trip outta town.

Little Rock, Arkansas
was the target this time around.
Cory Branan set up
a last minute show,
so we made a night of it.

Checked into the Hilton
where we made our own
hotel bar.

At the show I met Starr Crow,
a fellow Arkansas vintage seller & blogger!
It was so great to talk to someone face to face about
vintage,
photography,
and all the fashion bloggers we follow.
Check out her blog and Etsy shop!

Before the night was done…
we jumped for joy.

We devoured a fourth meal back at the hotel.

And at three am
we spent five minutes
nervously trying to jump the fence
to the hotel pool.
When all of the sudden
we watched two dudes
just open the gate
and walk right in.
Funniest part of the evening right there.

After just a few hours of

and an 11 o’clock checkout time,
we headed home
tired, but happy.

Chelsea Clinton Wedding Coincidences

What does the
Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsk wedding,
Bill & Hillary Clinton wedding,
and the Todd & Sarah Gill wedding
all have in common?

Amongst other things, really unique timing.

Chelsea Clinton was married yesterday and my wedding anniversary is next week on August 11th – the very same day that former president Bill Clinton will be in Fayetteville, Arkansas stopping by the very same house where Todd and I were married three years ago to the day. Of course Bill and Hillary were married there too, which is what brings the coincidences full circle.

Check out this article on politicsdaily.com about it all:
Bill Clinton’s Marital Tips to Newlyweds

The letter Bill Clinton wrote to us…

Me next to the replica of Hillary Clinton’s wedding dress.
Chelsea’s looked a tad bit different.

Cheers, Bill!

We Like The Nightlife

Just got back from a three night
stay in Memphis.
We stayed up late
and were lazy all day.
Pretty stellar agenda
if you ask me.

Filled our time with
good friends.
watermelon.
40s (excuse me, 32s).
dive bars.
stupid sunglasses.
no sleep (not before 4 am anyway)
sweet tea vodka.
swimming pool.
fried food.
more beer.
the river.
the bo-keys.
bbq.
even more beer.
and dancing at wild bills.

Our cute little pit stop.

I promise I’m not scaring this guy.
He asked me to use my camera.
Although, I’m pretty sure he thought it was a video camera
(despite the flashes).
Cause we got a pretty good song out of him.

It was so great to spend
a bite of the summer
in my old town.
Now I’m back towards the Ozarks
worn the eff out.

Seth’s Pants Studio

We spent the weekend
in one of my favorite towns, Kansas City.
Just three and a half hours aways,
we couldn’t pass up spending a couple days
celebrating our friend Seth’s birthday.

Once we arrived, we met Seth and Ashlee’s
new kitten Mike McNugget.

There wasn’t much sports watching,
not by the girls at least.
Instead, we walked around the ballpark
convincing vendors to let us into their
beer huts & popcorn stands.

You can donate five bucks
and request that they make an announcement.
We had fun with that.
“Welcome members and guests of Seth’s Dance Studio”
We threw done another fiver to add,
“Correction, Seth’s Pants Studio.”
Random, but funny to us.
