the guestroom and their guest room

a few weekends ago, my dear friend leslie came to visit. she had the luxury of sleeping on our air mattress and memory-foam topper, nestled right between the drums and the guitar filled closet. while we may not have the ideal studio setup and certainly not the most conducive guestroom, we are thrilled with our new home in our adorable neighborhood and cannot wait to have more visitors 

::come visit us::

we packed her one fleeting day with everything we love about nashville so far-- its quirky little festivals (tomato fest), its delicious restaurants (silly goose & burger up), and its bike-ability (i think i just made that word up). we had a really sweet time, filled with sincere conversations and a vitamix or two. i feel extremely blessed to have a lifelong friend like her.

on a side note, ryan and i attempted writing a song together for the first time and it was surprisingly challenging but really fun. now that we have a home with a makeshift studio, we are working towards ryan's lifelong goal of recording a full-length album and pressing it to vinyl. and when i say we, i mean ryan bernal, ryan sullivan, and michael christmas. i haven't really contributed much so far.
