A Night to Remember

Where do I even start??? It was the most awesome concert ever! ZZ Top rocked and the I can't even think of an appropriate adjective for Aerosmith. I must admit that when Dave won these tickets, I didn't really know if that is what I wanted to do, but I am so glad to have opened my mind and expanded my horizons.

I can't post video on Facebook for some reason, so I have to do that here. We've got ZZ Top, Aerosmith and the now infamous woman who passed out on Dave and we had to have the paramedics come over - She was fine, or I would have never posted this...



It really was funny, she and her "friend" got there and they were loaded. Rachel and Denise (our 2 new friends from Lumberton) thought the same thing. The woman probably weighed about 80 pounds and had probably drank her weight in something before she arrived. He was no better! She just decided to take a nap between the two shows - using Dave's leg as a pillow, and then we could not get her up.



Funny part is that her date didn't even notice she was passed out until Rachel told him he needed to wake her up. The ushers were no help - one commented to Dave "just move your leg" OMG - it's not like she laid down and Dave put his leg under her head... At one point we were worried that she wasn't breathing. I know the dude gut mad when I took the picture because it only took them 10 minutes to actually get the paramedics that were standing 20 feet away. Their emergency reaction procedures could really use some revising.

Sorry for the delay - We had technical diffuculties with video upload....

It's already July

Well, yesterday was the big day - I turned 40... It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. We celebrated with the family last night and tonight, it's Happy Hour with the friends! WooHoo...

It's hot, what more can I say... It's really hot.... We did get a relief in the form of rain yesterday. Just a little, but we saw rain!

Our poor yard looks terrible. We've watered and watered, but the heat just keeps burning it up. Hopefully we can bring it back to life soon.

Lots of invites for the 4th. We plan on starting closest to the house and working our way out of town. Should be a blast....

That's it for now!

Congratulations Kristen!!!!!!

Wow, where do you even start on a day like today? Remember that post from February, our baby Kristen was 18!!!! Well today marks another milestone. That baby girl is graduating from high school.

I talked to her mom this morning, and she is evidently doing better than me. Yes, I am the emotional one, but this is strange to me. You know, Melissa and I have always been close, no matter what things were happening in our lives. Yes, like any two people, we drifted apart, but we always end up right where we belong.

The first few years of Kristen's life seem like yesterday. We were inseparable. Me, Melissa and Kristen - two Musketeers and a mini me. When you're young and you hear someone ask "where does the time go?" you think, what in the world are they talking about. Today, I sit and wonder, "where has the time gone?" This beautiful child was only 2 yesterday, I know it... I can't be that old, and we all know her mom is only 19, so tell me how is she graduating?

She has accomplished so much, and I am so proud of her. It hasn't come easy, there was a lot of sweat and tears along the way. A lot of sacrificing what some young ones take for granted, but it's paying off now.

Melissa says it will hit her when Kristen is off to college in the Fall, well, it hit me today. So as we sit in Reed Arena tonight and I cry (because I will not deny it's going to happen), her mom will be there for me - Just as I will be there for her in August.

After all, that is what family does....

Best Wishes Baby Girl, you made it!
