happy friday, friends!

i took this picture last weekend outside of brad's parents house.

i have looked at it several times this week and am really drawn to it.  i think it perfectly describes what i was feeling the moment i took it.  i love how pictures do that sometimes, and then years to come it is constant and unchanged.

happy weekend friends.

dirty dancing! (and some instagrams for your friday)

get your mind out of the gutter, i am not about to post pictures of me dirty dancing (not that there is any) or any one else.  it's DIRTY DANCING, the movie.  brad and i went to see where to movie was filmed and i felt like i was walking hand in hand with johnny, except he's not real and my name is not baby.  my middles name IS frances though...so it could happen.  i was walking hand in hand with brad and that was so much better any way.

"nobody puts baby in the corner."

i feel like there might be a lot of OMG!!!'s needed in this blog from a girl that doesn't do abbreviations or OMGS!, because i am so excited to share with you all the pictures of our day there, it was really really exciting.  i think one of the reasons it was so awesome was because it was like they were going to film tomorrow, it was like you had stepped back in time and suddenly you were an extra on the set and if you went into the right room...you just might see johnny and baby doing their thing on the dance floor.

i tried to talk brad into getting in the lake so we could do a lift, he turned me down.  then i tried to talk him into me running and doing a a lift all dramatic like, and still i was turned down.  then there was the log, just maybe he would walk on the log with my OVER the water.  no, nothing.

so i just began to sing "join hands and hearts and voices, voices hearts and hands" over and over again and got louder with each overture and he decided that maybe the lift wasn't such a bad idea.

i mean, are you as excited as me about this?  because dirty dancing is THE BEST MOVIE EVER!

i will tell you this...(and i really hope my mom still has no computer and does not read my blog, when i checked this morning things were still the same...if so, i am in trouble.)...we didn't have a television growing up, for no reason other than my dad felt like there wasn't anything great on the tv, so for no other reason than that, he made the choice that our family would not have one.  and it was good and fine...

because...

aunt sheron had a tv.

she loved to watch movies and funny enough, i loved to go to her house all the time.  i would walk to her house daily (morrison lane, remember?  she lived at the end)  to visit and to hang out with her, not to watch tv really, but just see her because i love her and enjoyed spending time with her.  well...one day she introduced me to dirty dancing, and we watched it about once a week and all the time after that.  i knew i was not allowed to watch movies like that, so i would watch with my eyes glued to the screen and my ears honed into the sound of the tractor and as soon as i would hear it, i would watch for my daddy to appear, and if he stayed outside, i would continue watching, but on those days he came in for lunch...well, those days i had to put baby and johnny in the corner because if not, i knew i would be the one in the corner.

mine is morrisonlane (i like to keep things simple like that...)


its instagram friday (aka weekly photo dump).

this past weekend, the second brad and i got off, we hit the road for a quick trip to charlottesville, virginia. i had never been and we were due a road trip, so to charlottesville we headed.
such a fun city, there is always something to do and see. and it's just all around lovely. the first night we were there, we ate at a little diner (we love us a good diner) called the nook, and while we were there we read a local publication called the hook.
we read the hook in the nook.
and i thought that was huuuuularious and ran that joke into the ground.
bless brad's heart, man has a lot of patience.
 we also ate at a little pub called millers in the outdoor downtown mall, and when i was handed the menu, i noticed the saturday special was the 'nacho burger' and i immediately thought, "oh my lord, that sounds horrible, WHO would order that?"
waitress came to take our order, "i'll have the nacho burger" said brad - i threw up in my mouth just a little.  and it looked as disgusting as it sounded.
possibly it was delicious, i will never know.

by the way, those bricks up there...monticello.
thomas jefferson might have walked there.
that's cool.

oh lord, i would accidentally put the nacho burger picture in twice!
sweet frog became our local hang out.  because the frozen yogurt was gluten and sugar free and AWESOME.
the OPERA!!!  brad took me to the opera to see the king and i.
and IT WAS awesome.

then, baaaack to reality to these three sweet faces.
she has decided that shirts are optional in her life since her brothers tend to never wear them.

we drew pictures of our families yesterday and this is the best i could do.
watch out...i might be a budding artist.
or maybe not.

happy instagram friday!
follow me at morrisonlane

p.s.  i am doing a little maintenance on the blog, so if things seem crazy around here, i'm sorry.  soon we will be running smoothly!

friday the 13th.

today is friday, the thirteenth {are you scared?}  just incase you have no idea.  and the month is august.  (just trying to keep you on your toes, folks.)

normally i would be at work hanging out with my three little friends, today i am home alone.  i am off.  the chil'hen have flown the coop and are out of town.  

it is friday and it is nice to have a surprise day of catch up.

TO DO:
post office (mail letter, get bubble mailer)
old navy
grocery (am i the only person that calls the grocery - grocery?)
emissions (for the third time, say a prayer)
work out!

all that is after i watch the today show and eat my cereal.  

i could get used to this.

what are your friday plans?
