Today I stumbled upon this wonderful music from Knoxville Tennessee.
I wanted to share this video...

United Pursuit
Saturday, January 22, 2011
A couple days ago Scott was “casually” looking through the MLS listings when he stumbled upon a new house on the market. The home is one minute away from where we are renting now, and right next door to our good friends BJ and Emily. It was late (after 10pm), but we were anxious to see it in person. So, we went for a little drive. As we turned the corner and leaned forward in our seats our mouths dropped and brows rose. We were wide-eyed and grinning at first sight. Scott said, “wanna see if we can look at it tomorrow?” And, we did. The inside was just as pleasing as we hoped. It made our architectural hearts sing. The layout, scale, proportions, and quality of the spaces were excellent! We were sold.

Isn't it lovely?

Fire
A couple weeks ago a building caught fire downtown. It was the Powell School and the first and oldest school still in existence in downtown Birmingham. Thankfully it was vacant at the time (except for the vagrants that reportedly began the blaze). It was brutal. We are still waiting to hear if they will tear it down or if some generous soul will step forward to help us rebuild it. Sunday I went to take daytime photos. Two favorites:

A peek into the sketchbook of Michelle
Theme - Things Found on Restaurant Napkins
For the first month or two, every idea I attempted turned out in ruins. So, over a couple of weeks time, I had friends doodle on random napkins, took their doodles, glued them into my sketchbook, and went from there! Here's a preview of a few pages.
Note: I did not finish every page, and many times I finished a page I ended up not using the napkin at all, and several pages were left unfinished, but I mailed it anyway! You are seeing the pages I considered "finished." :) Also note, some of my inspiration came from you guys!

A recent viewing of The Book of Eli made me think of this photo I took a couple weeks ago when were taking a drive around Birmingham:

yellow siding + wood floors
It's funny when you know a place by the person who lives there.
It's like their thoughts and dreams and passions are suspended in the air like dust hanging in the sunlight. I wonder if you were to rest in their home long enough and breathe in that full air, would all those little beautiful things that make them them become a part of you, as well?

IN SEARCH OF EUSTACE
At 2:07am on the 9th of October 1992 my life changed forever. My daughter Rachael was born...
Rachael is her own person. She has her faith and beliefs. She has an understanding of others and she has her passions and points of view (and don't I know it). She smiles when she wants and cries likewise. Her naivety and innocence inspires me and her humility assures me of perhaps something as parents we got right.
Here she is photographed by her father...
ali introduced me to this article :)
