Adam's Story {on stage with U2}

Last post on this, then I'll shut up. I just wanted to share with you my favorite picture (where Bono realizes Adam can play decent and goes big). Also, my 2 favorite news segments so far.

Adam Bevell on stage with Bono : Nashville, TN July 2nd 2011

Here's a link to hear a few interviews with our friend Adam's sharing his story of going blind and achieving his life long dream of playing with U2 last Saturday night.

What I Love Wednesday #7

I decided to write a post showing some new Things I'm Loving and join the linky party.

Earrings: Alora Handmade (given to me at Blissdom...thanks!!)

Camera Strap: Eclectic Whatnot (met Ruthanne at Blissdom, love her!!)

Peacock Socks: Target

Scarf: Paperlili (another V-Day gift from Big Papa, softest scarf ever!!)

I'm also loving the extra hour and a half I have each day now that the boys ride the bus and I ditched Facebook. Kade working hard to advance to swim club, (nice work Kade) and the fat tax return we are getting this year! I'd love to take that European vacation I've been wanting but with age comes wisdom, so we'll keep saving away.

I'm totally lovin' cute mugs and bowls lately...not to mention my polka dot addiction. While I'm at it, I may as well fill my new favorite mug with my new favorite soup...Chicken Corn Chowder. Remember when I promised you I'd cough up some more soup recipes? Well here you go!!
