Living Loud: A Life of Love, Music, Dogs, and Bourbon

Living Loud: A Life of Love, Music, Dogs, and Bourbon

Some people measure life in years — I prefer to measure it in laughter, miles traveled, concerts attended, and corks popped.
The Heart of It All: Love and Partnership
At the center of my story is my husband — my partner in crime, laughter, and adventure. Together, we’ve built more than a life; we’ve built a rhythm. One that dances between quiet moments at home and loud nights under neon lights. From spontaneous road trips to our shared love of discovering new bourbon distilleries, our marriage thrives on connection, curiosity, and one very well-stocked bar cart.
Our Four-Legged Companions
Our dogs are more than pets — they’re family. Their tails wag through every chapter of our journey, from lazy Sunday mornings to adventures at the beach and lake. They remind us daily of the simple joy in just being — present, playful, and unconditionally loving.
Nashville: My Soul City
If ever there were a city that mirrored my spirit, it’s Nashville. There’s something magnetic about its energy — the way music spills into the streets, the warmth of its people, the pulse of creativity that runs through every honky tonk and recording studio. Nashville isn’t just a destination for me; it’s a reset, a ritual. Whether it’s sipping whiskey at a rooftop bar or swaying to a live acoustic set, the city fills my cup — sometimes literally.
The Concert Life: Where I Come Alive
Music isn’t just background noise in my life; it’s a heartbeat. I live for concerts — the rush of anticipation before the lights dim, the roar of the crowd, the raw emotion in every lyric. Whether it’s front-row seats or dancing barefoot on the lawn, I collect these moments like others collect stamps. Music connects me to my truest self and the people I love — it’s loud, real, and unforgettable.
A Toast to the Finer Things
I have a deep appreciation for life’s finer flavors — especially when they come aged to perfection. A glass of velvety red wine or a pour of rare bourbon isn’t just a drink; it’s an experience. I’m endlessly fascinated by the stories behind the labels, the craftsmanship, the art of savoring. Some people chase luxury in labels — I find it in the warm burn of a great bourbon and the clink of glasses over shared stories.
Final Sip
This blog is a love letter to a life lived fully — one filled with the people (and pups) I cherish, the cities that spark my soul, and the moments I collect like rare bottles on a shelf. Here, I’ll share my travels, music obsessions, wine and bourbon discoveries, and reflections from the road.
So grab a glass, press play on your favorite track, and stay a while.
