The Quirks of Berk

My brother, Eric, started the band Berkeley to D.C. when he was in junior high. The name comes from a scene in Forest Gump when Jenny gets on a bus headed to D.C. (you know, when Forest says, "I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!"). Eric has truly inspired me with his life. Ever since we were little kids we have been bouncing our creativity off of each other. When Eric first picked up a guitar, not only did he teach himself how to play it, but we all discovered his natural ability to shine. A couple nights ago Berkeley was able to open for a band called Lydia. This was Lydia's last show and tour in OKC. Eric and everyone else in Berkeley were stoked to be able to participate in the event.

Here are some pictures:
*small disclaimer-There is also a keyboardist in the band not shown in the photos. My crowd position would not allow it.







Eric will be a superstar one day. To me, he will always be the little kid who never understood the concept of clothing, the best person to share bunk-beds with, and the brat who gave me Chicken Pox! Yup. I love this kid.

A Napa Valley Love Story

Last weekend was our honeymoon in Napa Valley. We spent a couple days in San Francisco, too. Napa was beautiful. We rented a convertible for the trip which was awesome. On our last day we went on a bike tour through the valley doing some wine tasting. Biking was hard, but the tasting was pretty easy. The small bistros and quaint community was ever so inviting and warm. We will definitely be going back. It was very romantic.

4th of July

This 4th of July my family went to Kansas to celebrate with my God-parents. This was my husband's first 4th of July in the USA. My bro showed him the joys of blowing stuff up.



















Jolly good then.
