A LOVE MAP.

My favorite thing in the whole world to do is travel. When the hunk and I agreed to stick with each other for the foreseeable future, he promised me he'd take me everywhere I wanted to go...eventually.

That was 3 years ago and so far, he's made pretty good on that promise. We go a lot. Quite often, work for one of us is involved, be it the band or something for EBV, but it's all the same. We have a blast regardless.

I started something fun back then & I want to share it with you guys. We started building a map on the side of our refrigerator of all the states we have been to together, not individually, as both of us have been all over before we met each other, but states we explored as a pair. Every time we visit a new state, we pick up the magnet and add to the map.

We're currently en route to Arizona and so our map will grow when we get back, but this was how we left it when we left home. I feel certain one day we will have a complete map.

*I am aware that Texas isn't up against Mississippi. The kids lost Louisiana and we haven't replaced it yet.

Cheers,
Savannah

on the road again.

hey, hey pretty ladies!
just a quick note to explain my absence...the blog has been a little uneventful lately because i have been traveling so much. most of you know by now that i vend various music festivals & events throughout the year & we have been super busy with that. something like 8 states in 2 weeks! the boy & i are really enjoying our "mini-vacations" & have even started discussing the likelihood of officially tying the knot next year...who knows? maybe i'll even get a diamond sometime soon! anyway, i'm off to st. augustine, florida, charleston, south carolina, and nashville within the next few days, but when i finally get home late next week, i'll be home for awhile (until we head to new orleans on 10/28!) & back to my regularly scheduled blogging. i hope you guys are all doing well.
cheers,
savannah
