Fake-O-versary

Jonny and I will be celebrating our 5 year aniversary on the 15th of June, But we will be on the road with the band so Jonny suprised me with an overnight getaway to milwaukee! I felt so loved and thankful for our time together. Bare with me as this is a big "ol" post, but I didn't want to leave anything out!

We kicked things off by doing a little shopping in my old stomping grounds, the Third Ward!

I had no idea the hotel we where staying at and when we pulled up to the Pfister (one of the nicest hotels in Milwaukee) I was so excited and totally surprised!

The view from our room!

 We started out the night by having a cocktail at the rooftop bar Blue

 Then walked to dinner at a favorite spot, the Coquette Cafe ( a little french cafe!)

The next morning was absolutely beautiful! We spent most of the time on the bay window enjoying the view!

Alterra and a walk, two of my absolute faves!!! 

I can honestly say the last five years have been the greatest adventure of my life! There have been ups and downs but I am unbelievable thankful for my amazing husband and wonderful marriage. I never dreamed that marriage could be this great!  

Through the lens

my week in photos

Wow, we have been crazy busy. Both Jonny and I worked a ton last week. but we where also able to make time for some fun!

Confession: Its my seceret dream to have A farm some day, where I can garden my own food! Now I have an outlet for this dream cuz, Jonny and I are now gardening at a co-op garden through our chuch! Its awesome, we are learning tons and meeting lots of wonderful people! We are also really looking forward to having fresh organic produce !

Gave Jonny a new haircut! He is so handsome, I'm In Love! 

coffee, my Lovely friend Stacey and SUN!!!! Im a Happy girl!

My week in outfits!

Farmers market!!!! I'm thinking this will will be a saturday morning tradition! We started buying our eggs from a local farmer!

 Lovely dinner with awesome friends! Still trying to figure out how exactly you play Monopoly Deal! haha!

An awesome storm rolled in this week, we went to go chase it down then kissed under it, yep its that cheesy around here!

 First beach day of the season! Still a bit cold for my liking but it was still fun to catch some rays. Looking forward to a summer full of these days!

Despite being busy, looking back it has honestly been a great week! I am thankful! God is truly Good!

Now this week I am jet setting on to Colorado, cheers! 

Life on the road

Last week I went on a short mini tour with the band! Often times people tend to over glamorize life on the road.  Don't get me wrong, we meet amazing people, get to see this beautiful country and experience things I never thought I would.  But at this stage in the band one night we could be staying  in a 5 star hotel and the next night could be sleeping in our 15 passenger van in a wal-mart parking lot. Spending weeks on end with 5 boys in a small space is not always the easiest of times for a girlie, I do have to say though that being the only girl with five brothers in my family was great training.  Despite its crazy ups and downs it is whole lotta fun! Last week we journeyed down to Kansas, Iowa, and the Nebraska area, here a few pics from that little adventure.

 

We had a chance to stop and stay in Omaha and see Jonnys Family! LOVE them!!! Our little cousin Josi made us all wear crowns made out of leaves and sticks. lots of fun until I found a caterpillar in my hair, leaf and stick crowns not so fun and magical after that. 

The caterpillar became Josi's new bestie!

Lots of driving, and some small town stops for some eats, thats not yellow gatorade btw, thats a product of to much water and not being able to stop! gross I know! but true!

Sound check at a collage festival they played in Kansas!

 me doing what I do at shows, run the merch table! Typical, I know! Jonny doing what he does at shows, drums.

The bed we slept in that night, yes it was a twin and yes it was in a house occupied by 9 collage men! but I was thankful for our own room, (that was clean!) a bed and any excuse to be close to my man i'll take it! 

We started off this week finding out that Supernova Sunrise is #1 again on the charts this week! So cool! We feel so blessed!  

OUR LIFE ACCORDING TO PICTURES

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SOOOO GOOD

After 3 looooooog weeks of Jonny being gone on tour he's home and by home I mean with me. He only spent 2 days at our actual home and then back on tour, but this time he took me with him!
