alison krauss

It's been a few days since I've written, and as I tend to give emotions to inanimate objects, I feel a little guilty about neglecting the blog, so here goes. Latest news: Brad surprised me with Alison Krauss+Union Station tickets! I'm surprised that he was able to keep the secret from me as long as he did, but finding out about it the day before was perfect. We had talked about it when we found out she was going to be in Boston, but not only were the tickets waaaay too expensive, they sold out too quickly to even consider it. Brad ended up buying two out of the four tickets Seth had gotten ahold of when he accidentally ran across them on EBay and Craigslist just days before the concert. They played at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Crossing last night, and it was awesome. She gave me goosebumps with that voice the ENTIRE time they were all onstage, and they sounded even better live than on their cds. *sigh* It was great. It made me once again wonder the big question, "what if?" followed by the deep breath that tells me that now is not yet the time to pursue that still-hazy daydream.

On a different note, I had the day off work today (I work tomorrow, Saturday), so Brad and I decided to be somewhat productive. We went through all our old receipts, cut his hair in the bathtub (and as always, laughed while we tried to figure out how we will both fit in there so I have a good angle with the scissors, not to mention the nervous comments Brad makes as he feels large chunks of hair falling all around him), got our oil changed and tire replaced, went to the mall for some Chik-Fil-A and Ann Taylor (I have the most patient husband on the face of the planet), organized and cleaned the apartment a little, and basically just hung out and did married-people stuff, which I love. I talked to Mom and Dad more than once just because I miss them, and Kristin called while I was in the shower, which was funny because Brad answered the phone and they talked for a little bit before I was all dry. I love talking to Kristin. She called while she was on her lunch break, and we once again reminded each other that in less than two months Brad and I will be living in Nashville and we'll be within driving distance to one another, and I could hear the smile in her voice as we said it. I was smiling, too.
