That is my pun-opener. It has been almost 2 months since I last updated and for that I sincerely apologize. My parents have drawn this to my attention two times lately, so I owe it at least to them and hopefully other readers. If you're out there, say, "aye".
I am currently importing several cds that have recently come into my possession. For now living in Nashville, I think I average gaining at least 3 cds a week. Whether or not I get them from Gotee, or I go to a show, fall in love and buy the music, those are all stories in and of themselves. The cds I am "cooking" now are the 10 cds that Abby and I acquired last night at the "Ten out of Tenn" Christmas show. We Christmas'd each other with the $60 bundle and split it. It was 10 cds for $60. What a steal. Ten out of Tenn is a touring act--the brain child of Trent Dabbs (one of the Ten out of Tenn artists) and who I also had the pleasure of working with when I was an extra for his music video. (It can be viewed HERE). Anyways, the show was 10 Nashville artists all playing together and individually and gosh, it rocked. I am a big fan. Check out their music. Just google them: Erin McCarley, Katie Herzig, Butterfly Boucher, Trent Dabbs, K.S. Rhoads, Andy Davis, Andrew Belle, Jeremy Lister, Matthew Perryman Jones, and Tyler James.
Music sums up my life. I.love.it.
I need to be better at keeping up because I can't really sum up 2 months of my life on one blog or it would be interminable and no one would read it.
I guess I will keep to the more recent news. Last Saturday I had the privilege (thanks to Gotee) to go see Gotee band House of Heroes, along with Remedy Drive and Family Force 5. It was a great show! Here are a few pictures:
Tim from House of Heroes :>)

A little over a month ago I went to Indianapolis with my friend Rachel for a NEEDTOBREATHE concert. They are also Christian rock like the fore mentioned show.
So we had to drive through Kentucky. This was my first time to the state (that I know of) and it is a family tradition to take a picture with the sign if possible
It was too dangerous to get out for Indiana but THANKFULLY my camera was miraculously quick enough to take it from out the window.
This is Bo and Bear from NEEDTOBREATHE ..they are brothers.
We were right up front. This is Bear and I almost strummed his guitar (I could have) but I chickened out. Also, like a dummy I had my phone resting on the stage and he almost crushed it. Thankfully he didn't. :>)
Also, in case you missed it, I moved into Nashville finally from Franklin. And here is my house! We love it. It's great and it is in a GREAT part of town. We are so close to everything. :>) :>) :>)
Well, my internships are just about over (Dryve is done and I am going into Gotee for like 2 days this week). We celebrated at Gotee last week though because some guys will be gone this week, like Joey, the boss. They took me out to lunch, gave me a gift card to Target and thanked me for all my hard work. It was great! Dryve gave me a ticket for this Thursday's stand-up comedy act by the one and only Dave Barnes...What? He does stand up? Yes, yes he does. I'm excited. Check out his new Christmas Extravaganza Video....so....stinkin..funny.
Then on Friday, my dear friend Cameron Habel is coming to visit until we go back for Christmas. More fun straight ahead!
Tonight I went over to the girls' house that I babysit for to play with their new kitten, Callie. She is the sweeeeeetest kitten! She'll just let you hold her forever. Tyler, the dog loves her and I actually predict that they become friends:
Face-off...I love it
Tyler making me feel uncomfortable---I'm still not a dog person....
Allie with Ty and Callie
Katie with Callie
Me and Callie!! She is sooooooo precious. 7 weeks old.
In other news, my grandfather, Ga-Ga, passed away 3 weeks ago and it has been very hard. Things remind me of him and I start crying. I had my first dream about him the other day since he's been gone and I was at my wedding about to marry God knows who (really...God knows who) and there was a guy there who looked like Ga-Ga but it wasn't. In my dream (or maybe in real life), I exclaimed, "THAT'S NOT GA-GA!" because I was so upset that it was someone that looked like him but it wasn't the real man that I love. I woke myself up in mid-wail, groan, sorrowful noise and I had tears streaming down my face. It was way intense and I didn't like it. I feel that it is worth documenting though because he is worth the tribute. That is a hard thing that I've been facing though is that I am so sad that he will not be able to attend my wedding (if and when that ever happens). Anyways, Ga-Ga, I love you and I miss you terribly.
I am so thankful he was able to make it to my graduation! This is probably the last picture we have of just the two of us.
Thanks for reading.
You stay classy,
Faith
