Well, to get started, I'M OFFICIALLY AN UNCLE! If you can't tell, I'm a little excited about this. My brother Evan and his wife Rebecca gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a couple weeks ago. Her name is Adalyn Larue McHugh. I'm not exactly sure how they came up with the name Adalyn, other than the fact that it's just an awesome name. I do know, however, why they had her middle name be Larue. That's the name of my awesome grandma (who we all affectionately refer to as Bunna). Anyways, this is the first time I've ever been an uncle and I'm really looking forward to being around Adalyn as she grows up. I'm also really happy since she's only about thirty minutes from MTSU, so I'm obviously going to be her favorite uncle (sorry Collin...). I'm already looking forward to seeing her all the time and watching Evan and Rebecca as they become the awesome parents that I know they will be.
The other somewhat important thing that has happened in the last few weeks was that I turned 19. I was thinking about it and I realized that this is one of the most insignificant birthdays ever. I mean think about it; It's right after turning 18, which is obviously a big deal because it feels like you're finally an adult (kind of). Then it's right before turning 20, which is important because getting to your twenties just seems like a big deal to me. 19, on the other hand, is just not important. Nothing big happens when you turn 19 and I don't really feel any different at all. That said, I'm still hoping that this coming year is going to be great and that I'll continue to enjoy college and just life in general.
During these last couple weeks, I've gone through a couple different phases of music. I've seen some really awesome concerts (Mike Mains and the Branches, Horse Feathers...etc), so be sure to look up those bands because they're really awesome. On the other hand, I've been introduced to Dallas Green, who plays under the name City and Colour. I have my good friend Andrew Travis to thank for showing me his music. He is kind of a folky, singer/songwriter who has a lot of tattoos and wears glasses that I could see an old man wearing. And the answer is yes, he does look awesome in those glasses. He has a very good voice that I can't really compare to anything else just because it doesn't really sound like anything else. His songs truly sound like they were written straight from his heart and the lyrics reflect that perfectly. If you're wondering what songs to check out, look up "Sleeping Sickness" and "Body In A Box". They're definitely solid. As always, check him out and let me know what you think.
