This music duo is my new obsession. They are EVERYTHING I love about music. Their harmony through out their CD is perfect. It swells and gives and takes at all the right moments. Their music is so raw and passionate, and their voices reflect the same. It's very folksy sounding, but at the same time, very modern. The first time I heard of them was actually a year ago. I was watching Grays Anatomy and I barely made out the song playing in the background, and despite what was happening on Grays, I was more interested in hearing this song looming behind the action. So I googled EVERYWHERE. I finally found that episode of Grays on Hulu, and rewound that scene until I could pick up some lyrics and then googled those. Found it :) The song was 'Poison and Wine' and it was their only single out from what I could tell. I listened to it to death, every so often checking gomusicnow to see if their CD was out. And finally, I found it the other day. They had just released their CD in its entirety last month. I love every song on it. They remind me of the songs my mom and I would sing in the car when I was a little girl... The Civil Wars are the grown up version of that memory. Matt has declared them his new favorite band as well, so I'm hoping that we'll sing their songs in the car together :)
I'm quite upset that I could see them TWICE this month if I was home, but I'll just have to wait until next time :( Oh well. Everyone should go for me and support this amazing pair of singers.
Anyway, it has been pretty uneventful here. Every day feels very similar to the last, but as long as I stay busy, the time goes by pretty fast. Having a routine helps. It's key to settling in. The connexes finally arrived with all our stuff we put it them back at Hood. I'm FINALLY sleeping with sheets and a blanket. Before, I was using my sleeping bad I was issued, which was annoying. I also have my blow dryer and straightener.... however I was doing just fine without them. There were a few other odds and ends that I had stuffed in my tough-box that I had forgotten about, but the biggest and best item was definitely my bedding. Hurray! Sooo that's pretty much it.

Wow, I'm now a fan, as well! Their music (and harmony) is beautiful :) Did you ever think you'd be excited to have bedding? Sometimes it's the little things that matter most! Glad you're keeping busy to help make the time go by quickly. Love you! Stay safe!!
