Today I hit the big 3-0. Happy Birthday to me!
I’ve sort of been celebrating my birthday for the past couple of weeks. I saw Lady Antebellum at the Ryman, went to see Remember Me, and went car shopping with Kristi and Earl. None of that was officially “birthday” stuff, but pretty much the entire month of March is all about me. I’ve also received some gifts and had a mom-cooked meal. Today, I’m going on a mini road trip with Sherry and Nikki to do some shopping. And then tomorrow will be the annual trip to Olive Garden since the one in BG is STILL not open yet.
Everywhere in my house!
I put up my Christmas tree this weekend. Yes, it’s early but it is all Sherry’s fault. I’ve had my wreath up (or at least tried to have it up — it keeps falling down) for a week or so, but I was able to resist putting up the tree until Saturday. I got to see how great Sherry’s tree & icicle lights looked Friday night, and that just put me in a Christmas mood.
First exhibition game! There’s not many people here, but it’s still fun it’s boring and I’m freezing.
Today has been a fun day. At work, our theme for dressing up was “cartoon characters.” You can see some pictures here. I was Velma from Scooby Doo.
As you can see, I’ve got a new theme. Let me know if you like it in the comments. It’s been mentioned to me that I’m really behind on posting. So I’ll try to update some this weekend with pictures from the concert last night and my new house!
This past weekend, I was talked into going to the New Song festival in Leitchfield with some friends. It’s rare for me to go to a concert where I don’t know any of the songs, but I don’t follow contemporary Christian music much. The Afters were my favorite and I’ll definitely buy their album or some songs from Itunes. We also saw Tobymac, Skillet and some others that I can’t remember. It was a lot of fun so I’m glad I decided to go. I have a couple of pics here.
Vacation is just three weeks away. I’m taking a girls trip to Gulf Shores, and I can’t wait to spend the week laying on the beach.
Happy 4th of July!
Cookouts, fireworks, and a concert add up to a great holiday weekend. Is it 4:00 yet so we can get started?
Tonight, there are fireworks at the Corvette museum and tomorrow at WKU. How many times will Kristi and I say “Is that it? Is that the end? Oh, you’ll know when it’s over.“?
On Saturday, Kristi and I are going to see Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and some other people at LP Field in Nashville. I think we have some decent seats so you can expect some pictures next week. It starts at 3:30 so I’m taking plenty of sunscreen. I don’t want to come back with raccoon eyes! We’ve got our fingers crossed that Uncle Kracker does NOT make a surprise appearance. That’s one way to ruin our concert experience. Another way is rain.
To prepare for Saturday, I’ve listened to Kenny’s song “Better As a Memory” a million times. I think it’s the best song he’s had in a long time. I love the words, music, and he sounds great. It may not top “What I need to do”, but it comes close. I grin now every time I get to the line that says “pretty good on a lonely night.” Last night, the song came on the radio and my mom’s response to that line was “I bet he is”. 
What are your 4th of July plans?
Better as a Memory by Kenny Chesney
