I will be absolutely honest here. I have a serious issue with my temper and anger. For a really long time, I didn't care who I spewed my hate and anger to. It didn't matter to me. Over the past year, I've tried very hard to calm down, and think before I speak. I haven't mastered my anger, but I have gotten a lot better at keeping my temper in check.
Now, I'm trying to learn to let go of all the things that I let bother me. Bitter memories of things that could have went better. Embarrassing thoughts of retarded things I've done or said, and believe me, there have been some doozies.
That group, Cowboy Mouth, by the way, are pretty darn awesome. They are the first group I ever saw live. In the summer of 2004, right before Mike and I married, we went to the Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil in Birmingham. Oh. My. God.
For those of you who don't know, your girl here has a spaz attack when I'm in a crowd. It was craziness, and I loved every minute of it. That year, we saw Dexter Freebish, Cowboy Mouth, Better Than Ezra, and Sister Hazel. Dexter Freebish sucked. Cowboy Mouth give darn good shows. Better Than Ezra was ok. And Sister Hazel.... Le Sigh. I love them. It was magical, I tell you. To this day, I can remember leaning back into his arms and swaying along to Champagne High. It made me reminisce back to the days of being young and in love. So I went looking through my pictures to see what I had to share.
Look at how young we are! I can see the differences between now and then. It doesn't feel like almost seven years have past. They have flown by, and I love him more. He is definitely the yin to my yang. He keeps me steady, balanced, and supremely happy. Gee, I sure am sappy tonight, huh?
Anyway, what were your resolutions? Did you make any? Will you keep them?
Love to all,
Allie
Didn't really make any resolutions this year, but "let it go" sounds good! Did you know that it's also a song done by the Zac Brown Band? I love it! It's the first track on the "You Get What You Give" cd. Something else that might interest you...CJ found a complete Sister Hazel cd on Amazon for FREE. We weren't that familiar with them but had heard the name and, of course, it was FREE so we downloaded it. If you can't find it, let me know. It's "20 in 10 Digital Collection, Amazon Exclusive".
ReplyDeleteOhhhh really? I have some Sister Hazel stuff, but not their newer album. Idk if that was it. Is that the Zac Brown Band's 2nd album? Mom has that one and I love it.
