send your mind: "glory days"

so, i have not blogged all summer. i've been super busy yet haven't done too much at all...if that makes any sense. i moved, so that was huge and took a ton of time and energy. i love my new place. there is tons more room and nice yard for lou...he LOVES it! i guess the biggest thing i've done this summer is bonnaroo. i saw more music this year that usual which was fantastic. however, i did get blocked into day parking so was not prepared to stay there the entire weekend. luckily, i had friends that had rv's, and friend's from home that were so sweet to bring me clothes! thanks, guys! i would have died without you. i wasn't planning on going until fri. but everyone was getting into town on thurs. night and calling so i just couldn't bear it another minute. i was so close so, of course, i took off. i didn't bother to check the weather and drove straight into a lightening storm. it was raining so hard that i had to pull over for about 15min. i was terrified. apparantly, we were under a tornado warning but thank goodness i didn't know that at the time. i finally got through the gates and parked by about 11 and went and met up with the atl crew. we saw midnite for a bit and i decided to go to the silent disco. my friend ryan runs the silent disco so i hang out there quite a bit in my down time. flynn and travis, whom i haven't seen in ages, ended up meeting me there so we crushed the silent disco for a bit. when we finished up there flynn and i went and walked around the campgrounds for a couple of hrs then i decided to go to my car....that's when i discovered i was blocked in by not only cars but also tents...awesome. i called travis and went to their rv for the rest of the morning. rick and kelly brought me clothes and i showered at charlie's rv.
