Off We Go Again

Just a little picture of how we found her outside. Her favorite thing to do is crawl into our chairs around the patio table then onto the top of the table!! 

Taylor and I are leaving for Seattle in a few hours. A little road trip to The Gorge Amphitheatre outside of Seattle with Swtichfoot for a festival called Creation East. I'm soooo excited. Exploring Seattle today and tonight then on the bus with the band for the next day then back home on Friday night. I'll post pictures once we are home. I'm soooooooo excited!! 

BAILEY AS ELLE WOODS

I became obsessed with watching "Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods" on MTV. I randomly ran across the first episode the night that the series premiered. Since then I have not missed an episode. MTV made the search for Laura Bell Bundy's replacement as the next Elle Woods in the Broadway production into a reality show, of course. The top 10 competed for 7 weeks and were one by one eliminated until there were two. Last night was the finale where they announced the winner. Bailey Hanks, a 20 year old girl from Anderson, South Carolina. A preachers daughter that always performed in their local community theatre since she was little.  Broadwayworld.com wrote a nice story about it here.

Here are my favorite parts from the finale:

Bailey in her dressing room before her final audition.

Bailey performing "Positive".

Bailey performing "So Much Better".

Finding out that she will be the next Elle Woods!

Bailey taking her "encore" after being announced the winner.

Bailey and the rest of the finalists in "Search for Elle Woods".

 

Bailey is the next Elle!

It is my goal to get to New York and see her perform.. or I will be in Nashville when the tour arrives there next summer!!

Adventures with Miley

Yes, it's been weeks since I updated this. Charlotte was wonderful. We loved being able to spend time with our family and just have a little time together as well. Being in Black Mountain and Asheville was wonderful. We got to venture into unique shops and eat at a few really different restaurants. The rain cut our day in Asheville short but we enjoyed just getting to explore the town for a little while. 

It was weird being away from Miley for 10 days but she enjoyed staying with Taylor's mom while we were gone. I know that she messed a few plants up while she was there. But I know that she was excited to be back into her backyard and her little "space" again. So much so that look what she's be up to...

Yes, it's true... she started chewing on the baseboards in the kitchen. I caught her "in the act" twice and popped her little nose with a rolled up newspaper so she knew that she did something wrong. So far, she hasn't let it happen again. We'll see. 

Then we have this.. the reason that I haven't posted these in the past few days like I've been hoping...

SHE CHEWED ON THE POWER SUPPLY TO MY MACBOOK!! So yes, there had to be a new one ordered on apple.com so that I would have my computer back and working while Taylor is out of town. I'm not really sure how she was able to get behind the chair were the power supply was or how she didn't really shock herself enough for us to know what was happening. I came back from running errands earlier this afternoon and the package was waiting for me at the door. Thank goodness. What would I do without being able to check Facebook and everyone's blogs for updates every couple of hours?!?!

Sweet Miley is just being a puppy... one that is about to be 5 months old. 

Taylor is out of town again for the week. Then we leave next Wednesday for a few days in Seattle... I can't wait! Hopefully Miley will behave and be a sweet puppy while we have to leave her again.
