the civil wars

One of my favorite bands, the civil wars, just released their newest video and I wanted to share. i saw them last year at David Crowder's Fantastical Music Conference and fell in love. They were simply amazing and very fun to watch in concert. I just love their folksy indie flare. If anyone remembers old-school Christian singer Joy Williams...well this is her collaboration with John Paul White, who I must say heavily resembles Johnny Depp. They are about to release their new album. I have every intention of going to see them in concert in either Waco (March 14) or Austin (March 15) or maybe both! So go check it out...

Our familee headed to warren,tx during the holidays. my grandparents still own the house my great-grandma used to live in. we used to come here all the time when we were little, so everyone has such fun memories. my grandparents recently bought the house next door to the other one so we had a fun time going to visit. best part of the trip is when grandma starting crying because we were all there together having so much fun. she said that granny would have loved to see us all out there...
