Surprises at 25

I've learned some things recently that no one mentions will happen to you once you hit your mid twenties:

1. You can get allergies, even if you've never suffered from them before like this crap...

2. You actually have to start thinking about making really large purchases. At 19, the thought of getting a loan for a car made me want to cower under a bed.

3. You can't just eat whatever you want anymore, with no consequences. unfortunately.

4. What is up with going to bed at 10:00 so i can be rested for work? What happened to staying up as late as i wanted and being able to make it the next day just fine?

I'm sure there will be more wonderful surprises to come when I'm 30!

Summer of the End

well, summer is here, and that usually means alot of lazing around for me and Roy. But not this summer. We've decided that this will be a summer full of events. Why, you ask? Hopefully by the end of the summer, we'll be ready to expand our family! Which is why we'd like to get in more " just the two of us" moments before those times become very rare, from what I hear. A summer kind of like when we first met: an adventure around every corner. First up was the Hayes Carl show here in Fayetteville on Dickson street. It was EXCELLENT! I almost didn't go, but man am I sure glad I did. Bonus-he's from Arkansas, so I got to have a little pride in our hometown musician. Next up: I'll be going solo on this adventure, but Roy will be there in spirit: My mother, my sis, and I will be going to the Spring River, located in our hometown and home to many of my fondest memories growing up. I want to come back nice and toasty burned. After that, Roy and I will be partaking in an evening with THE freaking BLACK CROWES!!!!! This kind of show hasn't been around in a while (especially since the band just got back together), so we are sooo pumped to see them. Extra nice because the hotel we are staying at shuttles you to and from the show, so i can be as irresponsible as I want! More posts to come about the Summer of the End!

whew!

What a week...I am so drained. I've spent all week preparing legal papers, and that can take it out of you. I'm really ready for the weekend to start, but its still a couple of hours away. Today was a pretty bad day, i felt like I'd regressed a little bit back into the really anxious, nervous person I used to be, i suppose its because of the amount of stress this week. But I took a step back from the picture, and prayed for inner peace, and I all ready feel better. That's a big difference from what I used to do, which was panick and curl into a ball (metaphorically). Kinda makes me think I can handle more than I realize. HELLO WEEKEND!

impressive

These are my good friends Wes and Nancy Miller. They've been married for about a year, I'm so glad I can call them my friends! They've been taking dance lessons since before they were married, I'm so proud!

Roy Boy

Roy's getting a haircut today, I thought i would show a side by side of the two husbands I have :-)

My Mountain Man, and my Cleaned up Honey

Bonnarroo

I'm thinking about making the trip to Bonnarroo this year. Its an annual music festival held in Tennessee. One catch, though: I know how these festivals go, I won't be able to shower for three days, no bathrooms, and alot of hippies. lol. Roy and I have friends who are taking an RV to the show, which could be awesome, but does it outweigh the drive and inconveniences if you're able to see your all time favorite musician, Jack White? Heck yes it does!! I'd throw my panties at him if i could. He plays guitar better than anyone I've ever heard-Yep better than Jimi Hendrix, Wayne Allmond, you name it. An added bonus of Jack Johnson in the festival this year, too. Soooo tempting....

Movies

I thought I'd post some of my favorite funny movies, in case you haven't seen them.

1. Galaxy Quest- I laugh almost the whole way through every time I watch this. My favorite character is "Guy".

2. The Big Lebowski- John Goodman is classic

3. Raising Arizona- "Aw, honeh" Nicholas Cage in one of his few comedic roles

4. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy- Has the same actor as "Guy" as the President of the Galaxy.

5. I recently watched "Multiplicity" again with Michael Keaton.

Try some of these, or one of these, i'm sure you'll have a night of laughter!
