Needtobreathe Concert!

A few weekends ago, Will and I made a special trip down to Columbia to go to the State Fair to see one of our favorite bands, Needtobreathe! We met Will's sister Mindy and a friend for dinner near the fairgrounds and headed down to the concert. We ended up getting there halfway into the first song and rushed into our seats. And our seats were AWESOME! 8 rows back almost in the middle.

NTB is an awesome live show if you ever get a chance, go see them!

We were so close! One of my best friends Kristi and her fiance also had tickets with us, but traffic and parking problems met that they got there with 1.5 songs left in their show. That would be my only complaint, I wished the show was longer!!

Generally, Will and I aren't concert people. In fact, I think this was one of the first concerts we have been to during our marriage. However, this concert was great! It helps that we love the band and know all of their songs, but they were also really good live. Different enough from the records that you know they are really signing, full of passion, and they just seem like nice people! :)

Doing a Little Dreaming

So, the Blackmon home is in for a little upgrade. And by little, I mean king sized! That's right ladies and gentlemen, Will has finally caved and we are getting a king sized bed!! I have wanted one forever, and our bedroom is plenty big enough, so we figured we would finally upgrade!

Of course, with upgrading to a bigger bed, that means I have to figure out new bedding. Which is a total nightmare. Married ladies can probably understand my struggle. We ladies want beautiful, luxurious fluffy bedding. Boys want something that's "not girly". Hmmmm.... So the search begins!



Love this bedding look from Pottery Barn (who am I kidding, I love almost everything about Pottery Barn but their prices!)


More PB neutral bedding love :)


Or maybe a little darker look for the bedroom. 

Well, I have lots of things to think about. Hopefully I can come up with some "non-girly" options before our new bed arrives :)
