home sweet home

Last week I heard the funniest thing. This little boy in the first grade said to me, "You look like you're 43. Or 20 something." uh...yea...maybe somewhere in between? hahaha. kids!

Thanksgiving break was good. We went to visit my grandparents. My grandma is very sick and speaks only nonsense most of the time. While it is really sad, you just cant help but to laugh when he calls my aunt "Colin", our 15 year old cousin, and when she refers to my mom as an eligible bachelor. She was making sense one night though. You see, we always do Christmas BIG!!! so we set up her tree, wheeled her into the living room and two elves (me and my sister) greeted her. and then Santa (my dad) came out asking for Christmas wishes. She said she wanted a 2 or 3 karat diamond ring. He proceeded to hand her a catalogue (a Jason's Deli menu, but shes blind so she didnt know.) he said, "how bout this one? its only $5.50"
she said..."oh no, i dont want that one."
he said, "how bout $550?"
"no, i dont want that one either."
"5,550???"
"oh yea, now you're talking in my ball park!!!"
Yea, thats my grandma. Im gonna miss that woman!!!

Yesterday I returned home from work and my dog greeted me at the door like usual. We have been allowing him to roam the house during the days because he has outgrowned his cage. Well, as I passed by my parent's bedroom on my way upstairs...I noticed something unusual. My dog had apparently got a hold of a duck and killed it. He hid the carcas, but not the evidence. He had torn a hole in the feather comforter and the floor was just covered in little white pieces of down. So I guess I know what Im getting my parents for Christmas now.

On a lighter note: We close on the new house today. That's right. April and I move in today and our furniture comes tomorrow. Home sweet home.

Radio Rodeo

Guess who is coming to the Rodeo this year...and guess who got tickets!!!?!?!?

Ok, I bet you guessed the latter...

Last night I was watching the CMA awards and when i got all excited about Dierks Bently performing, waving my hands in front of my face and sssssshhhhhhhhing the rest of my family, my dad informed me that he was going to be at the rodeo this year.

Well, since I missed the past two concerts i was dying to go to, i couldnt pass this one up. So i got on the internet to check out the status on tickets...and guess what i found out!!!

Not only is Dierks Bently going to be at the rodeo, but my other boyfriend, Keith Urban, is going to be there the very next day. So of course I got tickets to both.

Man Oh Man. Is it my lucky day or what???!?!?!

It's Not Really Free?

Welp, I'm gonna miss the Nickel Creek concert this weekend. This only adds to the sadness that I felt when I missed the Jack Johnson concert this summer. but life goes on, right?

I'm going to visit my grandma this weekend. For those who don't know, she's battling cancer right now. So please keep her in your prayers please. She's been drugged up on all sorts of meds so she's been pretty goofy lately. If we could get her together with my crazy grandpa...man, that would be a party.

I am really excited about our upcoming High School Retreat. The theme is Survivor, which I'm sure is overdone, but we have never done it...and if all goes as I imagine...it should be awesome. Plus we made a really cool shirt for it and thats what really matters, right?

Oh, did I mention that I am officially part of a music club, by accident? Adam sent me this annoying email that had about 543158731085718741 "free offers" so I thought I was really getting a FREE cd, but when it arrived...I had to pay $3.01 for shipping and handling. Whats up with that?!??!! Well, I was told once in high school: "There's No Such Thing As A Free CD!"
But I decided to purchase a regular priced CD so that I could get 10 more for the bargain price of $3.01 each. So now I'm having a hard time thinking of what CDs to get. Any Suggestions!??!?!
