This is becoming real...

Okay, so yes I have told everybody in the free world that I am moving and yes I have been personally thinking about it for a year now. But last week it became all to real, with something as simple as getting rid of my table. With the table gone I now have a visual representation of what I am actually doing. 
My little dinning area went from this:
 To this:
And with that I had a little freak out moment. Am I really doing this? Am I really moving 3,000 miles away from what I consider home? Am I really going to leave a job without having another one lined up? Am I really going to say goodbye to all my amazing friends? Yep. I am. Wow.

Lady Antebellum Concert!!!!!

I love music, but I don't normally go to concerts because they are so expensive. While I was scrolling through Facebook one November day I saw that Lady Antebellum was going to be in Boise in March. I knew instantly that I had to go! I had been selling stuff and while that money was going to help pay for gas to drive across the US in August I decided to relocate some of that money for a ticket to see Lady Antebellum. But then I thought, who is going to go with me? Since tickets were on sale that instant one person came to mind, Stacy! So, I emailed her and she responded with yes! People often wonder how much the tickets were and while it is nobodies business except for the people that paid for them, I will say that we spent around $125 a ticket. For the last 4 months I had freak out moments,of why did I spend so much money on a ticket. After the concert it was all worth it. I would pay that again in a heartbeat to see them again. It was the best concert I have ever been too!  We had so much fun!
Before the concert started photos:


The first performer was Kacey Musgraves. I am not a fan of her. She can sing really well, but her messages behind songs are not something I approve of. Plus she sang a TLC song, really? Thankfully she was only on stage for 30 minutes.



After a 20 minute break Kip Moore took the stage. I hadn't heard any of his music before. I liked him. He is a bad boy...and that is why I liked him. Plus he was highly inappropriate a few times...and again, probably why I liked him. He was sick and I am pretty sure he was mixing alcohol with cold medicine, and that is never a good sign :)
He did come back on stage with a #11 BSU shirt, so he can't be all that bad :)
After another 30 minute break and a complete stage redesign the moment I had been waiting for! LADY ANTEBELLUM took the stage! I squealed and jumped up and down like a little girl! I was so happy!
They started on a small stage that was so close to our seats! The first song they did was from their newest album, Compass.

Lady A sang for 1.5 hours and it literally felt like 20 minutes. It was so much fun. Stacy and I stood the majority of the time because we were dancing and singing at the top of our lungs. Oh my, it was such a blast!
Something highly uncharacteristic of me, was that I had to go to the bathroom during the show. So, I ran to the bathroom and as I was coming out all these people were in the hallway and I was like, what is going on. Well I missed what was suppose to be the last song. But, I knew it wasn't the last song because they hadn't sang the one song that propelled them to stardom, "I Need You Now". So, as I rushed back to my seat, they started a video montage of people signing their song, I Need You Now. Then Lady A came back on stage to sing their song and a couple more! It was amazing!

Wow! It was a amazing! And worth every pretty penny spent. I want to see them in concert again! I am so glad that we went. I was so happy, even as I was falling asleep around 1am on Thursday morning and my ears were still ringing. It was amazing! Loved, loved, loved it!

Around Work

Last week my cousin Ashley came into town for a quick trip. We were able to get together on Wednesday night for a wonderful dinner at Red Lobster and then some FroYo at Yogurtz. On Thursday, Ashley and her daughter, Liah came out to MAF for lunch at the Egg Factory. Then we went to the hangar where Liah go to see the planes. It was so great to see them. I haven't seen Ashley and Liah since October and I just love spending time with them. 




And, well, I really have no where else to show these photos. We are doing a clothing fundraiser at work and well apparently Mike doesn't understand that there are boy clothes and girl clothes... Yeah that is all I have.

Winter in Idaho

Winter in Idaho has a tendency to be slow, so this post is dedicated to a little of everything. 

When I announced that my blog was going private a friend on Facebook sent me this image and I couldn't agree more. I think some people are still wondering what I am doing and they would know if they read my blog, but they don't so they won't know for a few more months...oh the anticipation! 
 Yep. I am committed to this move and so a lot of my actions and decisions are based around what will happen in 5 short months. 
Oh no! Starbucks opened a brand new location less than half a mile from my work. It has only been open for a little over a month and yes they do know my name. I should just work at Starbucks! 
 When we have our monthly Gilmore Girls get together we sure do know how to eat! Num, num, num! 
 And drink!  
 March means Shamrock shakes at McDonald's. I don't actually like McDonald's but there is something about their Shamrock shake that I just have to have at least once in March. Mike went to McDonald's one day and came back with a shake for each of us. It was so good, after all who doesn't love drinking something that I am pretty sure makes your insides glow.  
 Haha! I posted this photo on Facebook and I titled it, "Not to brag or anything, but I have found my future husband." Ah the comments were awesome but my favorite came from my friend's husband who said, so you would marry some guy because he is OCD about his closet. My answer is yes! 
 Cristi and I went on a Frozen Date to Froyo! So much fun and look how cute she is. She is due with her first baby 2 weeks after Marie. Cristi is having a baby boy! 


What better way to end this random blog then of a photo of the most adorable little girl ever, miss Hailey Anne! Love, love, love her!

Sissy Baby

Ah, it has been a long time since this beautiful kitty was featured in a blog post. I just love her, even if she rearranges my room each morning or messes with the blinds in the kitchen or meows at an annoyingly high pitch until I wake up to feed her. She is a typical cat but can also be so cuddly and happy. She is my baby!

Did you want to go somewhere?  



Possessed kitty?!?!?
 Sup?!?!?
Did you know Princess has a castle bed with her name on it? And she does sleep in it! 
We also love Harley!
