weekending and love.

perks of being a teacher: sometimes you get 3 or 4 day weekends (and the whole summer, but that is not that point :)). well, this last weekend i had a 3-day weekend but only because i took a personal day. my husband's band, The Waiting Kind, had a show in American Falls on Sunday night and i wanted to go. this gal doesn't get to go on tour with them so i was excited to be able to travel with them to this show. they played at a high school auditorium which was super hip. about 500 peeps showed up. the set of Annie was on stage so Luke Caldwell arranged it to make for a pretty sweet concert set. both Esterlyn and The Waiting Kind did a fantastic job. the crowd was very responsive. i love listening to people sing the songs my husband has written. God has truly gifted that man. it was a fantastic show. oh! AND, the green room they had us in had a huge wardrobe full of costumes for their theatre productions. so what did we do? of course we tried stuff on! which was very fun, until i came out of said giant closet in this incredible fur coat (pictured below) with a sweet sword dating back to Medieval times... aaaaand a guy who worked there was standing in the room. that was a bit awkward. both m'huz and me wanted to take home half of the clothes in the wardrobe. what does that say about us? not really sure yet. but i am sure that i am now on the hunt for a huge faux fur coat similar to the one i tried on...i may have already found it.

we got back in to town around 3:00 a.m. on Monday morning and i slept in...until 9:00. hey, that's good for me. i surprised my adorable niece and took her and my sis to lunch for V-day. after that i went home to my dashing man and we had a dance party, ate artichoke dip and chocolate, and watched Breaking Bad (so now we have Mad Men and Breaking Bad to love). what an amazing Valentines Day.

i love music and love and weekends and chocolate.
