It was a great turnout.

I wish him all the luck and love he deserves

Thanks!! Have a great one.

We are Nashville

It's true and I have never been more proud to be a Nashvillian until I saw this video my good friend Stevie sent to me. It actually brought tears to my eyes.

I was very fortunate but so many were not.  We should all continue to pray for those who were affected and continue to lend a helping hand.

I am not as upset about the media coverage as this video portrays however, its does make me proud that we are all working so hard to Save Nashville.

Enjoy - We are Nashville

Last Day.. A Limelight Tale

Well today is my last day with Premier Studios.  Its a sad day for me but one that sheds a bit of light on the excitement for my future.  Let me clarify excitement... I have no idea whats next.  That's exciting right??

Ultimately I am going to go back to school to get my Masters and become a teacher. How I am going to get there.. Stay tuned! :)

In honor of my last day I thought I would share with you my moment in the Limelight.

As most of you know I am a behind the scenes kind of girl.  I have worked in production for 3 years and have loved being where all the action really is.. Behind the camera.  It was not until this crazy day in April when Premier came to me with the opportunity to sit in the hot seat.

We publish a magazine called Susie Magazine.  It used to be called Brio back in the day, when Brio wrapped up production we picked it up and have been going strong ever since.  This is where I come in. In April one of the producers came to me and asked if I would interview the band Superchick.  "You want me to do what?" was my immediate response.  After a bit of saying "I don't think I am the one for this job" he had me convinced.  I CAN DO THIS.

So after a lot of stress, prep and trying to get two guys to help me with wardrobe and makeup we did it.

Have a great Memorial Day!

I did not forget!!! I'm back in Business

It has been an absolute crazy time lately with work, school and Mr. Chester.

Mini Life Update:
Friday is my last day with Premier.  Its pretty sad as I have enjoyed working with the company very much. I am waiting for an admission interview to try and get into graduate school and I'm attempting to get a job that will pay for my school.. Ahhh  Its all going to work out just gotta have faith.  This leads me to my first post back.


Remember the Daily Word I get? 
Well this message has been pouring all over me and its just too good not to share.

I open my mind to God's rest and peace.

I trust in the presence and power of God to provide whatever I need today. God is creative energy and spiritual substance working in and through me. In prayer, I ask, give thanks and know that it is given. Even though I cannot yet see the results, I cease asking and wait.

I enter into a time of Sabbath as I rest from doubt and fear. Releasing any struggle or mental strain about how my good will come, I trust that God in me is doing the work. I let go, and I let God.

I anticipate the fulfillment of my needs with eagerness and joy. My highest good is now on its way. I expect great things and give great thanks. In my time of Sabbath, my mind and heart are open to God's peace.

The Father who dwells in me does his works.--John 14:10

This is Obviously easier said than done but what a great message if we can remind ourselves of it daily.

There is some really good stuff to come in the next few days so stay tuned. 

Your the Best!

Reflecting Back

I would now Like to reflect back on Wednesday May 12th Entry and Say...

SOUTHWEST IS GOING TO START FLYING TO CHARLESTON !!!!!!!!!!!!


Its been a long week, more Post coming next week.

Unbelievable

Yesterday I found this...

Not a big deal right?  The usual, I had 5 dresses dry cleaned and it cost a lot of money. Well its the fine print that I need you to look at.
<-------------------

Yep! That says October 2009
So I called with fear in my heart that there is no way in the world that they would still have these 5 dresses of mine.

Guess What.

They did!  That lady on the other end of the phone instantly became one of my favorite people for a day.  It was Unbelievable news and I just had to share with you.

Thanks to my Favorite Audience.

Mama for the Weekend

Ok.. Not really a Mama. Im not speaking of a child I'm speaking of a Dog.

Im happy to introduce Mr. Chester Barksdale.

Chest is Paty's dog - A golden Retriever and poodle Mix.  AKA: Golden Doodle
He has been given names such as Uncle Chester and Professor Chester, he is wise beyond his years.
Saturday was a HUGE day for Mr. Chester and I, it went something like this....

The adventure of Mr. Chester Barksdale!

• We started the day off with a nap (yep thats how we started the day :)
• Then we ran errands together Mr. Chester, like many loves the Wind in his face, This is especially funny because he started growing facial hair at a very young age, his beard is no joke.  
• Next we went back to my place and played outside, he ran and ran and ran however he never got tired.  He is unstoppable. 
• Then the rain came - YES!! I finally thought I would catch up on my DVR, no way not with a child you don't, that little man wanted to play and rain was not going to stop him.  
• About this time my Friend Saskia got off work, we headed to her place for a little doggie play date. 
• This turned into a hysterical experience. 

Due to the recent Nashville Flooding Saskias backyard turned into Lake Fred... 

It got pretty Dirty... They loved every minute

Bathing Became Mandatory, this was no easy task... Pet Smart I don't know how you do it.

Saskia attempting to bath Nash

Once we got them all cleaned up we talked about how we have not laughed that hard since college.  I asked Saskia "Would you happen to have a beer?" She said, "Speaking of College, I sure do." Then we decided to go right back to college, and it was delicious. 

Mr. Chester and I headed home and I think he finally got tired. We hit the sac...

And what a great adventure it was....
