our week

It's been a busy week! On Sunday we went to The Lift, then to Zach's Dad's house for a bit, then to his Aunt's house to celebrate the July birthday's on his mother's side and then out to dinner with my family because it was my Mom's birthday!! Then we came back to our house to have cake. It was a looong but fun day.

Last night we went to see Amos Lee at Neighborhood Theatre in NoDa. The music was great but the environment wasn't as great as we were hoping. They don't have air conditioning in there and it was insanely HOT! Somehow we survived but it would have been much more enjoyable if it was cooler and if they had seats for everyone.

Tonight I went out to dinner with some of my friends from BGEA. We went to Rooster's Kitchen near South Park Mall. It's always nice to catch up with friends!

On Saturday I'm going to Planet 21 to get my hair done. I'm getting a good amount of the length cut off and I'm getting it colored. I can't wait!

ten out of tenn

Last night Zach and I went to The Evening Muse in Noda to see Ten out of Tenn.  It was ten singer/songwriters from Nashville.  It was an awesome show! They are all great musicians.  They all took turns playing different instruments and singing. One of our favorites was Griffin House, but we really enjoyed them all. 

the story of my jeans...

These jeans may look like any other pair of jeans...but they aren't! When September 11th happened I was in Chicago and supposed to fly back that day, but we got stuck there and I needed more clothes, so I bought these pair of jeans.  After a few years these jeans became too worn out to wear.  I then met my friend Misty...we were going through her jeans and she had these exact pair of jeans in my size and she let me have them.  Well, those jeans also wore out after a few years.  I went to Junior League Warehouse in downtown Charlotte yesterday and you will never believe what I found!!!! I found my pair of jeans in my size on sale for $6.44! I could not believe it! YAY for my jeans! 

another surprise!

Yesterday Zach told me he was working until 6pm...but he wasn't really, he got off at 5pm. He went to South 21 and got us dinner! It was soooo yummy! Fish, fries, cole slaw, onion rings and sweet tea! Have I mentioned yet that he is the best?

charlotteone

Last night Zach played at a ministry for college age and singles called CharlotteOne.  We both went to the church downtown after work for practice and then the service.  I got to see my friend Ashleigh as well as our friends Mandi and Josh. Afterwards we went out to eat with a few people and didn't get home until almost midnight! That's too late for me on a work night! But I survived today.  We had a really good time. Hopefully he'll get to play there more in the future.

Hi all this is Zach once again...yesterday was Kristens birthday and we celebrated it with dinner at PF Changs and desert @ the CheeseCake Factory.....usually on birthdays the birthday person recieves the gifts.....but yesterday was like a birthday for me because I continued to see just how wonderful of a gift Kristen is to me!   Everyday I continue to see more and more of her beauty and grace....everyday i continue to get lost in her emerald eyes.....everyday is an adventure in discovering this beautiful multi-dimensional diamond named Kristen!  I love her and will continue to love her with each breath!! 

My New Sound System

On Saturday Zach took my car to work...what I didn't know is that while he was there my parents came and picked my car up to have a new sound system put into it! When Zach and I went to my parents house that night I got in the car and saw it. I had XM Radio in my last car but since we bought the Accord it was just the normal radio and cd player.  NOW I have some crazy stuff! I have XM Radio, HD Radio, a USB cord to plug in my ipod and it has bluetooth so I can talk on the phone through my stereo system instead of on my phone.  I did have a normal bluetooth but a few weeks ago it drowned in water! :-(  My parents are the best!!!  That was Zach's surprise for Saturday...he worked all of that out with my parents.
