As some of you may or may not know, I spent the last 7 days in St Louis and Memphis with my old man and his family.
I've never drank so much beer, or ate more meat in my life. Here's some highlights from the trip via a photo montage.

Again, happiest girl alive. So many things to be happy for, even as I sit here with a cold due to rain and portopotties... I had such a wonderful time, and am everyday more and more thankful and optimistic about the days and years to come. I really have the greatest friends, and extended family...

Okay, enough tree sap... On to the show...

Dirty boots.

and last but not least.... What our lives have come to...

Carving watermelons in the morning before a family bbq. we're old.

Most amazing trip ever.

We also enjoyed some delightful Aretha Franklin, and BUddy Guy...And spent roughly 3 days inside a tent that smelled of cow manuer and soggy mud listening to the blues for 8 hours a day...

Luckiest girl in the world....
