Greenville Snapshots/ The party

Again, I always feel like by the time I'm able to get on here to type, so much has happenned there's no way I can cover everything. But I'll start this blog entry with saying how much fun we've been having.

~THE AM~

I enjoyed my little treak to the bath room this morning and went to get some breakfast. This is starting to become my favorite time of the day. You guys that know me, are not surprized I'm sure. The perfect start to any day is a book, coffee, and cigarrette. This can sometimes be a task to accomplish while on the road as we are, but the Hamton Inn's chain has been good to me to provide this lugsury. Robust coffee please. John was sleeping in this morning, but I assume he'll meet me up here at the library soon. I had a good breakfast too! Eggs, sausage, inglish muffin and coffee. Mmmm. I'm one happy girl right now. Though it was a bit cold for me today and missty outside, so that made my two mile walking around this morning a little less desirable; but over all, this morning has been a good one. We spent last night with two good friends, Mike and Lexi, (who live accross the street from Geln and Amy who's house we are again staying at) laughing and telling stories of our past week's adventure.

Now with a full belly (something very apriciated at this point in our adventure) I sit down to recap the past few weeks.

Well..... first off, allow me to welcome you to downtown Greenville where we have been spending the most of our time. It is a beautiful city. You can see where we do a lot of our cooking and movie watching in this photo. This big ampa-theater here has been wonderful to us. complete with electric outlate for us to plug in our coffee maker and cook food, charge our DVD player and just curl up and hang out. Not to mention, the acoustics are amazing so we've practiced our instruments here a good bit too. Convienantly located next to the Hamton Inn. Greenville has been good to us.

Okay, well I think I left off with our trip to Ashville. We came back to Greenville to play that privet party I was telling you guys about for Glen and Amy. It was an amazing party. I hope to be getting pictures up here pretty soon just to give you an idea of the grandure, but there is no way that they will even come close to capturing the moment. It was by far the best party I've every been to in my life! And was honored to be a part of it. We showed up a day early to help set up for the following night.
There were 50 freakin' teki-torches! It was beautiful. But gosh, that was a lot of torches! I filled up every one of them with oil and watched John and Glen drive them all into the ground. The 'Stage' for the band was a whole nother ordeal. A large green covered tent, with lights around the top. I think that John and Glen debated for about 45 minutes on how to drape the tapastrys in the top of the tent and around the back. We spend eaqual time on the christmas lights for a large tree in the yard. Three fire pits, a whiskey bar, and here you go guys; a projector with the football game playing all night! Live music, great food, and lots of laughter. It was me and John's first real performance together, and for sure, the best time I've ever had performing. It was magical. I know that sounds cheezy, but it's true! A lot of you guys didn't even know he played hu? People wrote thankyou notes on the sidewalk with chalk and danced. John was something too! At one point during the performance, he took the mic of it's resting place, walked out into the croud a little bit and stood around the fire as he sang a Ray (forgive me for murdering his last name) La-mon-togga song called "Joliean". It was amazing! We also performed a song that Glen had written. He is quite the writer. When we finally crashed, we woke up to everyone the next morning still laughing and drinkinig the left over whiskey at 8AM that morning! We had a leasurly day and didn't even clean a thing untill the following day. We just ate left over chilli, drank beer, snacked, laied in the pit of dispair (a quilted couch covered in blankets that you never want to get out of once in) and watched movies. It was wonderful!

People showed up the next day to help clean up. It was truely a wonderful time.

I feel so lucky to have met these people. Glen, Amy and their next-door neighbors Mike and Lexi, have been so wonderful to us.

Their english friend Mark and wife Linda, had John and myself over a few weeks ago for lobster! Gosh that was good! I'd never had it before. That was so much fun. The girls took me upstairs at some point and deceded to straiten and cut my hair! lol (That's what happens to girls on tequila). It was so much fun and Linda gave ma strait iron!I love those guys! And we have yet to play garrage band!

To the 'cool people, Erric, and Luke, his brother Mark, and Luke's wife Anna. We've enjoyed spending time here with all of you guys so much! Thank you for making Greenville an awesome experience. WE LOVE YOU GUYS! I don't know where this little bus will lead us, but we'll for sure have to re-visit greenville. You guys have made this one of my favorite places ever!
