A few digital memories

I accidentally placed the wrong memory card in my camera, so my number of pictures I could take was very limited. I left my big one in my computer here at the office, but at least I had an emergency spare one in my wallet. My mom and sister took a lot of pictures, and I'm sure I will be getting my hands on those soon, and I also have several on my iphone that I need to get off of there. BUT here's some highlights....

Kai and Poppa (my dad)

Kai and Dusty (one of my BFF'
s)

Dusty ("Crusty") and me after we got our tattoos...
My red face is because of a microdermabrasion that my mom did on me a few hours before this pic was taken. She owns a day spa, and pampers me when she can! =)

Tonya, Dusty and me... always a lot of laughing when I'm with these two! (although SOMEONE was missing!)

Dad talked me into leading a song with his team on Sunday morning at His church. He tried to get me to sing the whole set, but I have been trying to rest my voice in between my sets here in Illinois. He is the one leading with the guitar, my step mom is the one to the right, and I am to the right of her. Signing with my dad is an automatic comfort zone for me. It's where it all began for me, and it's where I will always go back to for inspiration with my music.

This angel is one of my oldest and dearest friends, Miss Sarah Ashley. She moved to Austin AFTER I moved to Illinois. She is in the top 5 list of my most favorite people in the world. She inspires me on so many levels and makes my heart smile deeply. We had such a beautiful conversation and genuinely felt each other's hearts. If my time with her was the only reason I traveled that many miles with a 6 months old in tow, it would have been totally worth it.

This is my precious English Bulldog Taylor... or "Baby Taylor" who was named after Taylor guitars, who my dad endorses for. I LOVE her. She's my favorite animal in the world. Ever. (Oh and she loves me too.)

This is Dad and Deb... Dad started off singing to Kai...

and then it turned into his first official guitar lesson. =)
