Travels have come to a close. [for now] Louisville Tribute.

Now, I know I pretty much suck at posting every day. or even every week. My apologies. You most likely do not check every day or every week to see if I have posted, but regardless I am going to try a little better at keeping this baby up to date. Maybe then you WILL check me out every day... Who knows. --Thought I'd half way explain myself.




She is my favorite. No doubt about it.


My latest travels started in Birmingham for a few days of absolute chill time with my buddy Jake and a sweet sweet show with William Fitzsimmons. And then my travels took me to a place that I have wanted to get back to for quite some time now [and I thought I may never get back there ;)] This place is Louisville, Kentucky, Lou-uh-vul. Kelsey Elaine Boone calls Lou home. Now think of how excited you would be if you added up all the excitement from 10 birthdays all in to one... THAT is how excited I was to see her again. Needless to say it was a little surreal to see this 5'2 blonde beauty greet me at the airport. Call this completely ridiculous but I wore my gray beanie that day because she loves it. * The things you do for your girl friend.
The next 5 or so days kind of all ran together because of all the fun we had. It was very relaxed but we also accomplished a lot. And by accomplished a lot I mean we went to antique shops and ate Dairy Castle ice cream. It would be an understatement if I said I CANNOT wait to be back in Louisville. Would I mind living there one day? I would do it in a heart beat if Nashville would not take me.


Mister Fitzsimmons everybody.



Funniest Moment For Me in Louisville:

To go to the park and play tennis with Kelsey. The girl is an athlete, do not get me wrong. But she is about as good at tennis as I am good at growing hair on the top of my head. BUT do not fear I have promised myself that I will make her better at tennis somehow some way...

Favorite Food in Louisville:

I have tried to limit this to one item, but that is just going to be impossible. First I will start with the incredible sushi I had with Kelsey on a little date. I could not tell you what kind it was but it was THE best sushi I have ever had. Second place prize goes to Kelsey's mom's enchilada's. And lastly we have the one and only "Bird-in-a-basket" that was created in the Boone Manor by Miss Kelsey Boone and her freaking awesome* father Larry Boone.- * I am not sucking up, I promise.

Least Favorite Moment (besides when I left to go back home):

I was playing Kelsey's 6 year old cousin's Nintendo DS. Mario to be exact. He wanted me to try to beat a really really tough level because his young mind just could not let his fingers move as swiftly as an aged nintendo players. So I took that thing and was doing quite well, dodging sharks, jumping over killer crabs, and then I received some "shooting power"... Little did I know little Joseph absolutely loves the shooting power and wanted to witness it himself. Well, like an awful "grown up" who plays little kid games I lost the "shooting power" and Joseph went nuts. I thought he might take his shirt off and whip me with it. Ten minutes later, and a "talkin' to" Joseph innocently told us goodnight.
I hope the little guy still likes me, I mean I did trade silly bands with him...

I would tell you more about after Louisville but this post is getting too long for even me.
Ok, I'll make it short. Myself, Luke, and David Swilley helped paint and fix up their Aunt and Uncle's house in Birmingham for a couple of days. I came away with a fire ant bite and a huge knot on my head from a low door post.


Music Video of the day:


I am blessed beyond belief to be able to travel and enjoy my friends and family. I am thankful, very thankful.

Keep THE faith.
