Goin Home!

I'm headed back to the Midwest tomorrow and SO excited about it!!! (Except Alan can't go and I miss him already!) Christal and Robby's baby shower is this weekend. I land Thursday evening and my Mom is picking me up at Midway. Then I'm sure we'll head to Schoops ;-) Friday we are going to get pedicures (second of my life) and run some errands, we'll probably stop by the church to make sure everything is set up and ready for the shower. Friday night I am going to dinner with the fam for my birthday and then Saturday is the shower. Saturday night I am going to dinner with 8 amazing ladies, Sunday church and Monday I come back! It'll go fast.....

So last weekend Alan came home (on Friday) and surprised me with Kenny Chesney tickets for Saturday, with Keith Urban. IT WAS WORTH IT! I am born and raised on country music (my Mom's parents had LARGE families...my Nana had 10 brothers and sisters, my Papa had 11....) and they all lived in the South and every year we would all meet up for a family reunion in Kentucky. I love country music, love that you can turn it on with a child in the car and not have to worry about lyrics, just brings back a sense of family and home. I loved the concert. He was super sweet doing that for me because he is NOT a country music fan, though I think he is gaining an apprecation for certain artists (Sugarland, b/c they performed with Jovi of course) and Rascall Flatts b/c what's not to love!?!?! Anyway, I really appreciated that he would do that. He is good to me :-) He makes me laugh everyday and we have so much fun together, I'm blessed to have him and be with my best friend. Thank you, Alan!!! Love you THIS MUCH!!!

Also, my little cousin Alexis turned TEN YEARS OLD on June 2nd. I can't believe she is ten, guess that's not so little anymore! Alexis was my first new baby cousin born...since then there have been 11 more and another cousin and a nephew on the way. Babies everywhere and WE LOVE IT :-) So happy 10th birthday to the first one -such a happy baby, always laughing and ridiculously smart. Love you very much!!!
