Paisley.

I REALLY like.... no, no, no,

I'm in 

LOVE

with my beautiful, seafoam pearl guitar, PAISLEY. 

{Yes, I named her. She's my first, she's very special}

I know, I know.... she is a little bright.... that's my favorite part!!!!!!!!!!

So, story goes... I've always dinked around on any guitar I could get my hands on but I really don't know very much at all. As many of you know, my darling hubby is super talented on guitar. We have always had this silly idea/dream/wish that we would play & sing together. Just make music. When we were dating, the first time around, {18 years old} we used to say we would start a band someday. We would be called...

{Pearl Buttons}

Kinda cool right? We got the idea while we were at an Alan Jackson concert up at Tahoe back in 2008. BobbyJames was wearing what everybody wears when they think of country music, a pearl button shirt. So the name just stuck and it's been an ongoing inside joke for us ever since.

So, in order to make our joke come to life, I need to learn to play guitar. FOR REALS! BJ just started teaching me the actual notes and how to read them & such last week. It's been fun for us. We've been looking at guitars for awhile now but I just thought it was something for the future, maybe? NOPE! Merry {early} Christmas to me! Or Birthday... he hasn't declared yet :) We went to Guitar Center on Saturday night & I didn't think much of it. We go there from time to time just for fun... not this time! BJ had ulterior motives. He was wanting to get me a guitar for either Christmas or my Birthday (AKA: the same thing) but didn't want to wait that long. He wanted me to have my own guitar to start really learning and practicing on. So we are at the store, we head to the acoustic room like usual and first thing I see is this gorgeous seafoam colored guitar staring at me. There were some other guitars that I had my eye on, but this one blew them out of the water! I picked it up and just fell in love. BJ then said "Merry Christmas" and informed me that we would be purchasing it right then and there. I was so excited. He is so good to me. We bought it, brought it home and instantly starting playing together. I love it, I love playing with my husband and I'm so excited to get better so I can actually keep up with him! Maybe?? Okay probably not, but a girl can wish right?

I'm so happy that this is going to be one of "our things"
