I am so excited for Jewel!!! June 1st at the Fargo Theater...

 

Well I have been very lucky to have a gentleman named Jay Verner from Country Financial/ Cotton States reach out to me and ask that I become an official blogger for Road Trips and Guitar Picks (www.tripsandpicks.com)- if you don't have tickets for the upcoming Jewel concert at the Fargo Theater on June 1st it is a must that you visit their site to purchase yours.

I have always wanted to bare witness to a concert of Jewel's. Why you ask? Because she is one of those artists that speaks to you. Whether you are in the middle of celebrating our commiserating about a life event you can easily identify a song of hers that relates to you and/or your situation. Some of my favorite songs from Jewel's collections are: You Were Meant for Me, Intuition, and Stronger Woman. I am beyond thrilled to see these live rocked out at the historical Fargo Theater. The energy is going to be awesome! Not only am I going to be able to see Jewel in her finest form on stage but also backstage. Are you jealous yet? Because I know I would be!

Jewel is an artist that comes across as a person that you could speak with and I hope to do just that. I promise to post many great photos of the concert for you all to see. Also, give Kris a hard time because she is going to be my special guest. We will be thinking of you all as we are singing arm in arm to You Were Meant for Me. A great big thank you and hug and kiss to Country Financial as well as Road Trips and Guitar Picks. You are my newest hero and I hope that many of my blogger friends fall in love with you as I have today.

Memorial Weekend

Is one of my absolutely favorite weekends at the lake. We have been going to our lake since I was 16 for Memorial Weekend and no matter what the weather is I LOVE IT! It all began with going to hang with my beau at his best friend's lake. Now it is our place to bring our kids and hopefully they will bring their best friend's and have as many fun times as we have. The nostalgia runs deep for me when it comes to our lake. I love:

1. The lake-swimming, bathing, and tossing people in.
2. Heading out to the island and watching the guys try to prove themselves on the rope swing. I tried it once and dropped like a rock-not pretty. Now Anthony is getting into it and I am sure it won't be long before Alex jumps in too.
3. Having grand meals. Kid you not, we sometimes have shrimp and ribeyes with a dressed table.
4. Having simple bbq's...
5. Staying up late to shoot the the breeze over a bonfire. We usually solve the worlds problems and get up to date on the latest gossip.
6. Playing with the boys on the beach. Children will go into water at any temperature. As I get older I tend to shy more away from cold water.
7. Seeing who can get highest on the swings.
8. Fishing off of the dock. Anthony is in love with this. I am going to make sure we are fully stocked with night crawlers.
9. Sleeping with the windows cracked and absorbing the fresh air.
10. Reading a good book cracking sunflower seeds.

I could go on and on but those are all things I am looking forward to doing this weekend...ahhhhh....

Business 2 Blogger

If you check out the right side of my blog you are going to find this:




I think all of us are interested in doing reviews, finding out the latest gadgets, and sharing info on it. I say give it a shot, why not? On Gust's Gab (again you will find a link to this blog on your right) she has been doing reviews like crazy and I'm jealous. So I clicked on her banner ad and went to the site. I signed up as a Preferred Member, I always prefer preferred status. Come on say it again, it's kind of fun.
 
In other news I have a TON of new pics to share but have been to lazy to upload. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new job and am so thankful I decided to take the risk. D.C was amazing, that is a trip added to my bucket list to go on with the boys.
 
Erik has been working like a dog so I am in single parent mode. Hard to jump right back in after being gone last week. That's all for now! Peace...

Who said 32 isn't fun?
