You know you're NOT a teenager when . . .

. . . the guy on the radio has to explain to his listeners who the group Journey is!

I was listening to Wally on Total Axxess on WAY-FM tonight and happened to tune in just as he was feeling the need to explain that Journey was a band in the 70s and 80s blah, blah, blah. Let me tell you, it's not fun to suddenly realize that there has been a whole generation of kids born since that band was in its heydey! Yikes! My high school marching band had "Open Arms" in the repertoire for two seasons, for crying out loud! By the way, Wally was telling about Journey because the song "Don't Stop Believing" has become i-Tunes' most downloaded song of all pre-digital releases, or something like that. Blah, blah, blah. :-)

In other VERY exciting news . . . I just found out tonight that one of my bestest friends from college (and currently) is moving to the Nashville area with her family!!!!! Rhesa and her husband, Philip, and their girls, Rebekah and Rachel, are some dear friends who Daniel and I have enjoyed going to visit in KY. We've had some fun times out on the lake in their boat and we just all have a good time when we're together. Well, now we won't have to just get together once a year . . . they'll be so close! They don't know exactly where they'll land yet, but we can pray it's in the southern part of the Nashville area and that they will have a smooth transition to new housing, schools, church, etc. Yea!!!! I'm soooo excited!

That is such wonderful news! - about Rhesa, not Journey. I can't wait to meet her!

Yeah, every time I have to explain who Journey is or some other older but awesome band, I just shake my head, and try not to get irritated at “the kids” for being born say—in the 80’s—and having no clue what life and the world was like the day before they entered it. I’m impressed that someone at Way-FM knows who Journey is! Don’t Stop Believing people!

I’m also super stoked about Rhesa and Philip moving here! Although I don’t know them . . .
