Busy Busy Busy

Good morning lovelies! It's Monday and I am awake. I don't know that you can ask much more of me after the busy weekend that we had. I am lucky that I even was able to get out of bed this morning. 

Friday night was a girls night out! There was a free country concert downtown to kick off the Rocky Mountain State games, so myself and two of my friends headed downtown for the concert. There were three artists that were playing that night. Dakota Bradley, Lauren Alaina and Jon Pardi. 

This was the third time that we had seen Dakota, and once again he was really good. Lauren Alaina was pretty good too. I really liked her on American Idol, so I wasn't surprised that she was good live. We tried to meet her afterwards, but people kept cutting in line in front of us and they cut the line off right before we got to meet her. I wasn't very happy, but oh well. The last artist that performed was Jon Pardi. I absolutely LOVED him! First of all, he was adorable and oh my gosh can that boy freaking sing. AND we did get to meet him afterwards! And holy crap, he is tall! 

After all of the concerts were over, we headed in to Cowboy's Night Club to go do some dancing for a little bit. It was definitely a lot of fun and I am looking forward to going dancing again soon!

Saturday I got up around 9 and got myself ready for the day. I had a lot of errands to run, so I started by getting all of those done. Then I went home and got a few things done around the house and waited for the Hubby to get home from his eye appointment. Once he was home we headed out East to see some of my what I call my adopted family. I have known this family since I was in Junior High (their daughters are my best friends and the mom of this family is our Realtor) and they have always been like family to me, so it was nice to go see them and hang out for a bit. 

We ate and played games for most of the time that we were there and then we headed home around 11:30 pm. So it was definitely a late night, but we had a great time hanging out with everyone. Minus them scaring the crap out of me with the snake that they have. Lets just say that they brought it out and I didn't realize how close it was to me and I flipped out! I hate snakes. 

Sunday we intended to get up early and get some stuff done, but that didn't happen. We ended up not waking up until 10. Oops! After finally getting out of bed, we sat around for most of the morning. I worked on some baby shower gifts while watching Harry Potter on  ABC Family and the Hubby took our pupper to the pet store to go buy food. 

Once they got back, I took a shower and got ready to head to the Sky Socks game. The Hubby's company was having their company picnic at the game, so we made our way over there where we ended up sitting in the rain for almost two hours while the game was delayed. By the time the game got started it was so cold and already 7 pm. So we ended up only staying through six innings. 

Sitting in the rain

After the game we headed home and just cuddled up on the couch and watched some TV for a little while. It was a nice warm way to end a very busy weekend. 

Did you guys have a great weekend? What did you do?

Back On The Bandwagon

Truthfully, I have fallen off the healthy bandwagon once again. Country Jam really derailed me. Four days of inconsistent eating and eating nothing but snacks or junk that was available to us really threw me for a loop. 

I thought for sure that when I got back that I would be able to hop right back on track and be ready to tackle and accomplish my goals. Yeah, not so much. And considering that it has been a month to the day that I came back from Country Jam, yeah it hasn't happened yet. 

I apparently do not have as good of self control as I thought. Or will power for that matter. But ya know what? That's okay. I'm human and we make mistakes. And we learn from those mistakes. So that's what I am ready to do. I am ready to learn from my mistakes and get back to becoming a better, healthier and hopefully leaner version of me. 

The good thing is that I only gained a few of the lbs back that I had previously lost. Four lbs to be exact. But I know that if I work hard and concentrate on eating the way that I should, I can get rid of those four lbs in no time and be right back on track. 

No excuses anymore. I am done making them. I am tired of being a "big" girl. I am tired of being that girl that can't find clothes that fit right, or who dreads having to buy a bathing suite because I never feel comfortable in them. I am tired of feeling like other people are staring at me and making comments about my weight. I am tired of making excuses for myself. It's getting old and tiring. I want to do this for me. I want to look and feel amazing! I want that satisfaction of knowing that I worked hard and earned everything I worked for! 

And I am the only one that can do anything about it. And I know that. So no more bitching and complaining about how I hate that I can't have this or that. No more bitching about how much I hate working out! I'm done making excuses. Period. 

I can't wait to see how much I can achieve now that I am in the right state of mind. I can't wait to see what I am capable of doing. And I definitely can't wait to see the changes that all my hard work will equate to when it comes to my body. I know one thing though, it will absolutely be worth every drop of sweat. Every sore muscle. Every ache and pain that I feel. 

Dr. Seuss Baby Shower Invitations

A while back, I told you guys about the online baby shower that we are throwing for my friend Lou. And I also kind of told you in a rant about what happened with the invitations I was trying to order through an Etsy seller. Well because of what happened with that particular situation, I ended up buying digital scrapbooking kits and making them myself on the scrapbook software that I have. So today, I wanted to show you guys the final results of how they turned out!

And can I just say that I was pretty impressed with myself (and my friend Nicole who helped me on the main invite) that they turned out so well. Like so impressed that I think I could sell this design on Etsy and people would actually buy them. Okay, maybe not, but I like to think that people would.

To get started I purchased three different Dr. Seuss themed digital scrapbook kits. Two of them I purchased from MyFunInvite.com which had all kinds of characters and borders and Truffula Trees. And the other kit I found from Etsy seller LaneandMay which was just background paper that I could use for various things. I also found a website that had a Dr. Seuss font called Green Eggs Light that I was able to download into my software. 

Once I had the kits and font all downloaded and ready to go, Nicole and I set out to try and design something. We weren't sure what, but we came up with something that we both loved and it really didn't take much time. And I had seen this little poem/rhyme(whatever you want to call it) online and loved it. We had to tweak it a little to fit the online shower and of course the person and the dates, but I think it worked out pretty well. Here is what we came up with!

Once I had the invites printed and cut, I found a thick card stock that I thought complimented the invitation. I cut that down to size so that once the invitation was adhered to it, it had a small border around the outside of it. Then I set out to work on the information sheet that I wanted to include on the back of the invite. 

I used one of the background papers that I bought and turned the transparency down on it so that it was kind of muted, if that makes any sense. And then using the Dr. Seuss font once again, I wrote a little note to all of the family and friends of the couple, explaining how the whole online baby shower thing was going to work. 

Also using the same digital kits and my software, I made some fun little inserts for the invite. The first one I made was a Prediction card.

And then I came up with this little idea for a well wishes card. I loved the little Oh the Places You'll Go picture that came in the kits and I thought it would be cute as a stamp and it just all kind of came to me at once. Why not make it look like a postcard. It actually turned out better than I expected. 

And then I also put a small card(about the size of a business card) that included where they are registered and our request that the guests send a book instead of a card.  

I quickly realized that I had not noted anywhere that we would like the prediction and well wish cards sent back so that we could send them to Lou, so I ended up making this little tag to attach to the invites, asking everyone to do just that. I used the circle cutter that I had bought for wedding projects to cut these out. 

Once I had everything printed and cut out, I put all of the inserts together and tied a ribbon around them to hold them together. I then attached the Truffula Tree tag to the ribbon. 

And voila! I had a finished product! I had an invitation that I was super proud of and so excited to send out to all of Lou's family and friends. 

For never doing something like this before, I think I did pretty well for my first time. I am actually looking forward to making more invitations in the future for other events. It was a bit stressful at times, but the end result was completely worth it. And besides, the people at Staples will miss me if I don't come back in soon and print more stuff. Let's just say they know me pretty well now after this, haha! 

I couldn't be happier with how these turned out. And I am just so happy that I got to do this for my best friend. She absolutely loved the invite when she received it and that made the whole process completely worth it!

Weekend Recap

Hello lovelies! Monday is here once again to slap us back into reality. So I am going to recap my weekend and day dream about being at home doing absolutely nothing. Sound good?!

Friday I got off work a little early because my boss freaking rocks and told me I could leave at three. So after running a few errands, I headed to my Brother's house for the evening. I had the pleasure of having a date night with this little lady while my Brother and SIL went out for a date night.

We went and got dinner, watched some TV and then she proceeded to pass the eff out while I watched "The Mighty Ducks" and "Grind". At about 2:30 am, my Brother and my SIL showed back up from their date night(they had a great time at a Chive meet up) so then I drove home. 

Saturday I woke up around 9, got ready for the day and headed out to run some errands. I went and got my eyebrows waxed. Went to Hobby Lobby to get some supplies for a baby shower gift that I am making. Also went to Bed Bath and Beyond for a meat grinder attachment for our Kitchen Aid. And then I went and got some lunch and then headed home. 

Later in the day I had to run and pick up our house guest for the next few days. I was excited to see our little guest, but Louie however was not so happy. 

The top right picture cracks me up. Louie was asserting his authority and wouldn't let Buster on the couch, haha!

Our guest is Buster!! He is my best friend Lou's dog. He is hanging out with us for the next few days until I can put him on a plane to Hawaii so that he can finally be with his family after a year! I can't wait to put him on that plane because I know how much Lou misses him and I am sure he misses her and her Husband. 

We spent the rest of Saturday night just hanging out at home watching the rest of the third season of Bones. 

Sunday was a pretty typical Sunday for us. We got up, went grocery shopping. Came home and cleaned up a bit. Okay, a lot. We have been really lazy lately and haven't been cleaning. So we cleaned up the Kitchen because it was a nightmare. And I also cleaned up the Living Room a bit. We made dinner, which sucked because we had to turn on the oven and it was already balls hot in our house, so that didn't make it any cooler. Dinner turned out good though. And then we once again spent the rest of our night on the couch watching the fourth season of Bones. 

It was a pretty laid back weekend. It was nice not having anything set in stone. Next weekend however, that will not be the case, so I am glad that we enjoyed a little bit of down time together.

I hope you guys had a great weekend! 

A Year Ago Today

One year ago today was a big day for us. 

 A year ago today, we closed on our first home and officially became home owners!

Has the last year been easy? Absolutely not. But, everyday I am glad that we made the decision to become homeowners. I love our house(most of the time) and I love that we can do whatever we want to it. And I love the feeling that I am actually paying to own something instead of feeling like I am throwing away money.

So, Happy House-aversery to us! And here is to many more years of living happily in our house!

This Isn't July!

I feel like I am being deceived. By the month of July.

Why?

Well first of all, it's already the freaking 18th! Where the heck did this month go? Before you know it, this month will be over and the summer will almost be over. But I am kind of okay with this because that means that Fall is getting closer and I LOVE Fall!

And second, the weather has been so nice and comfortable that it just doesn't feel like July. We have been getting rain like crazy(thank you Lord!) and the temperature has been in the low 80's sometimes in the high 70's and it is just the perfect temperature. It's not too hot and not too cold and I am absolutely loving it. 

This is cool for us!

And it has been getting cold at night too. So cold that with the fans on in our bedroom, we have been freezing and having to use our winter comforter to stay warm. And the dog and both of the cats are wanting to snuggle, so you know it's cold. Usually during this time of the year they won't come anywhere near our bed at night because it is too hot, but not this summer. 

I promise I am not complaining. Actually I feel like I am bragging, but only a little. I really hope this weather sticks around. It's nice not feeling like a constant sweaty mess while driving around town (no AC in our vehicles. Have I mentioned I need a new car?).

Of course now I say this and it will probably be balls hot out. Fingers crossed that it stays this way. Hope you guys are having a great Thursday!

Catfish

****************************************SPOILERALERT!!*************************************** If you have not seen this weeks episode of Catfish, and do not want it to be spoiled, stop reading now! Spoilers ahead! Just wanted to give you a heads up! ***************************************************************************************************

Last year I started watching Catfish. I couldn't get enough of this show. It was just so interesting to watch these people put their life on camera just to find out that they had been lied to. And in some cases, lied to badly! It was like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away. And each week I couldn't wait to see what the outcome of the person's relationship would be. 

After a while though, it became the same thing week after week. The person on the other end was indeed a Catfish and not the person they said they were at all. And I kept finding myself wishing that for once, just once, that the person on the other end was telling the truth about who they were and their feelings for the other person. But it never happened. 

That was until last night!! In what I think has been the BEST episode of Catfish EVER, Lauren contacted Nev and Max about meeting Derek, who she had met on MySpace eight years ago. They had never met in person. They had never Skyped of Face Timed. There relationship consisted solely of phone calls, text messages and messages on Facebook and MySpace.

"Derek"

My first thought was that it really could be this kid. I mean eight years ago, in the days of MySpace, people didn't usually lie about who they were. It's possible that there were Catfish out there, but I don't think they were as common as they are now a days. Everything seemed to be pointing to the truth in this situation. Until they searched his phone number. It came back as being registered to a married guy who was way older than Lauren. This of course made everyone in America doubt that it was really Derek. Except for me.

Nev and Max still took Lauren to meet Derek of course. She had to find out who she had been talking to for eight years. She had to meet the guy that she ended an engagement for. So they rang the doorbell when they arrived at his house and waited in anticipation of what they would find on the other side. And then this happened...

It was actually him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which prompted me to tweet this...

For once, the person on the other end was who they said they were! They hadn't been lying about what they looked like or what their name or age was. It was 100% the real Derek that she had been talking to for eight years. 

And one of my favorite parts of this whole episode was seeing the look on Nev's face when Derek walked out. If you have seen this show you know that Nev is a true romantic and wants them all to end with it being the real person on the other end. Max however is always super skeptical that the person is lying. So to see Nev's face when they realized that Derek was in fact Derek, it was just amazing. You could see that he was so excited for Lauren and that his faith in true love was restored. 

And after everything, Lauren and Derek are still together! It truly was a happy ending on Catfish. And by far my favorite episode ever. I really hope that they do find more stories like this, because in a world where we are constantly bombarded with incorrect information, half truths and nothing but lies, it's nice to see that there are still people out there that are truthful and honest. 

What did you think about last night's episode? Were you happy with the outcome?

Weekend Recap & Loving Today

Hey guys! I hope you had a great weekend. It definitely went by too quickly on my end.

Friday night the Hubby and I went out on a double date with our friends to dinner and then to a movie. We saw Grown Ups 2! My friend and I had been counting down the days until this movie came out so we had to see it right away. 

And I will just say that if you were a fan of the first Grown Ups movie, you will absolutely love this one. My stomach hurt from laughing so hard. Part of me really wants to go see this movie again! 

Saturday I was up pretty early because I was volunteering for a work event. I spent most of my day at the work event and then I headed home. We spent the rest of the day sitting on the couch and watching TV. 

Sunday I had to be up at 4 am because I had to be at a Golf Course here in town at 6 am to help with another work event. I spent a good chunk of my day at the golf course and then headed home around 2 pm. I was so exhausted that I decided to change into something comfortable and just veg out on the couch again. 

I did manage to make it to the store at some point to do our grocery shopping, but that was about it. We sat around and watched Bones on Netflix for most of the evening. I just started watching this show a few weeks ago and I am absolutely hooked! I love it! We just started the third season!

That was it for my weekend. Pretty uneventful. And now to start another week of work. I just hope this week is much quieter and less ridiculous than last week. On an upside, this is what it looked like driving to work this morning.

It has been raining off and on here like this all day. And I am absolutely loving it! And considering it has been in the high 50's to low 60's for most of the day, it has been quite nice. I know it is July and I should be happy about super warm weather and nice days, but I love this kind of weather. It reminds me of Fall which is my favorite season and time of the year and this weather is just making me super excited that we are getting closer to Fall. 

I know, I am a weirdo. Haha! Not to mention we really need the precipitation. And my lawn looks freaking amazing right now because of all of the rain. I am definitely not going to complain!

That's all I have for today my lovely followers. I hope you are having a great day so far and I hope that you had a great weekend!

Country Jam Days 3 & 4

I am back with my final post about Country Jam. I decided to combine days 3 and 4 because well day 3 was probably the most boring and uneventful day, so there isn't really much to tell you guys about. Day 4 however, completely different story. So let's get started. 

Day 3, which was Saturday, was one of those days that when you looked at the line up you instantly just thought "Today isn't going to be very much fun!" And oh man was I right in that thinking. The only artist that I was excited to see was Randy Houser and he was really good. And actually Uncle Kracker wasn't bad. He was fun to listen to. Now Kid Rock on the other hand? Booooooooooooooo!!! I'm sorry but he will never be country in my book. And when you come to a country music festival and open your show with a song where you say the F word every couple of words, don't expect me to ever think that you are a country music artist.

So needless to say, we made it about 1 and a half songs into his set before we packed up and left. We went back to Nikki's parents house, got showers, and enjoyed some Mac & Cheese and then went to bed since we had to be up early for the next day.

On Sunday, day 4, we got up earlier than we had been, and made our way to the Country Jam grounds super early so that we could be there when the gates opened. We got there at 11 and sat in line with our chairs for about an hour until they opened the gates. When they did open the gates, I booked it over to where we wanted to sit for the day and Nikki's friends were already there setting up their chairs, so we all got to get our chairs right on the fence again so that we would be able to see during the shows.

The first artist of the day was supposed to take the stage around 1:30. It was supposed to be Dakota Bradley, who I have already seen, but they made an announcement that morning that he was sick and that his label mate Austin Webb would be taking his place. I have already seen Austin and got to meet him, so I was really excited!! And actually I already had plans to go see him in Denver the following week, so I was going to be seeing his show twice in one week. I was completely okay with that.

So Austin came on and Nikki and I stood up and were dancing and singing along to the songs that we did know and just having a good time. Then we were approached by a guy who worked for one of the sponsors that put on Country Jam, and he told us that since we were some of the only people dancing and having a good time, that he wanted us to have these and he handed us an envelope. Inside were two meet and greet passes to meet Austin! Cue squealing here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So at 2:30, we headed back to meet Austin and it was awesome. Not only was he a sweet heart and told me that I smelled good, he actually remembered me from when I had met him a few weeks before. So it was definitely a cool experience! And he is freaking gorgeous, so yeah, there's that too!

After the excitement of the meet and great fun, we headed out to the vehicle to eat some food and just kind of relax for a few minutes. After that we headed back in and just sat around and enjoyed the other shows going on that day. Western Underground, Blackhawk and Sawyer Brown all put on great shows. 

During the Sawyer Brown show, some guy and his two stupid friends decided to come up and stand in front of our chairs. I told them that they could stand there for now but when our friends got back, they were over getting food, that they would have to move. This jackass guy told me that he wasn't going to move. I proceeded to yell at him a little more and tell him that he would move or I would go get security. We had been sitting there all damn day and they thought they could take our seats. Uh no! When our friends got back, the one girls Husband, who is a big dude, went over and told them to move and they moved right away. Apparently since I was a girl, he wasn't going to listen to me. Asshat!

After all that fun it was time for Rascal Flatts! I was so so so excited to see them. I saw them last summer, but I knew they were going to be amazing so I couldn't wait. They once again put on an amazing show and did a great job of closing out Country Jam. 

We had such a great time at Country Jam. Four days filled with nothing but Country Music, great friends and some alcohol thrown in here and there. It was an awesome experience and one that I can't wait to have again next year!!! Especially considering that Jake Owen has already been announced as one of the headliners. Hello gorgeous!!!

Guest Post & Hump Day

Happy Hump Day everyone! Does anyone else think of this commercial now every time you hear that it's Hump Day?! I know I do, haha!

Hump Day! Haha!

I don't have a post for you guys here today, but I am guest posting over at K's blog, Down at Fraggle Rock. So head on over to her blog and find out what I think are the pros and cons of being a Woman.

4th of July Weekend Recap

Our 4th of July weekend was pretty jam packed. Are jam packed weekend started on the 4th. Most of the day was spent cleaning up our house, considering it was an absolute mess. We also had one of our friends over for burgers and brats. We watched the Rapids game and then caught the fireworks that we could see from our backyard. It was probably one of the more laid back days.

Friday, unfortunately I had to get up and go to work! Boo!!! I only stayed until noon though and then I headed home to relax for a little bit before we headed out for the night. Aran's parents came down for the night and we went to the Sky Sox game. They won and had a great fireworks show after the game. 

Saturday we met up with Aran's parents for the day and did some shopping and some running around. We found an awesome deal on this Calphalon pot and pan set that has a steamer insert for steaming veggies! And we also bought Louie a new bandanna because he is weird and loves wearing them. Nananananananananananananananana Bat Dog!!!!

Sunday we lounged around the house for most of the day and did our grocery shopping and stuff like that. Sunday evening we headed up to Denver because we had tickets for the Colorado Rapids game that night. We were about five rows back from the field. They were pretty good seats except for when they were playing in the corner on the other side of the field. You couldn't see anything.

Unfortunately the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Which is better than a loss, but it still would have been nice to see the Rapids score. After the game they had a really big fireworks show. It was way better than the other ones we had seen earlier in the weekend. 

After the game we headed home. We got home around midnight which wasn't fun considering we had to be up for work the next day. Oh well, we had a good time and got to spend some time together. 

It was a very busy weekend, but it was a fun one. I hope you guys all had a great 4th of July weekend as well. And I just want to say thank you to all of you out there that are serving our country and making it possible for us to live our day to day lives. Without you doing what you do, we wouldn't be able to live in this amazing country. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!

What did you guys do for 4th of July? Did you have some amazing food?

Checking In

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and a great weekend!

We were so busy that I didn't get a chance to write my posts for the week yet, so I just wanted to stop in and say hi and let you know that I will be back tomorrow with my Weekend Recap! 

And I hope to finish recapping Country Jam for you guys this week. And I also want to get back into the swing of things with Bringing Sexy Back! I am getting so close to reaching some of my short term goals that I really want to start holding myself even more accountable. 

So that's all I have today, but I will be back tomorrow with a real post! Have a great Monday!

Country Jam Day 2

Day 2 of Country Jam was definitely one of my favorite days. There were so many great artists in the line up that we were so excited to see all of them. So we once again got everything packed up in the truck and headed over to the Country Jam grounds. 

When we got there, we went and found our seats right away and then decided that it was already a good time for a drink. So we headed over to the Southern Comfort booth and got ourselves some SoCo Hurricanes (Frozen Daquiries.) They were delicious and definitely hit the spot in the hot sun.

The first artist that was up that day was Dustin Lynch. Oh my goodness, what a freaking gorgeous man. And  oh was he freaking built. And he was wearing a pink shirt, which I firmly believe is the most masculine thing a guy can do.  But that's just me. Anywho, he was pretty amazing. He was so energetic and so much fun to watch. And his voice, OMG! It makes me melt. He is definitely someone I would love to see in concert again.

Dustin Lynch

Next up was Florida Georgia Line. I was so freaking excited to see them. And that was one of the main reasons that we got there so early to get a good seat. Unfortunately, us getting their early and actually getting a seat didn't mean crap because when they started playing, all of these people who hadn't been sitting there all damn day like us, just shoved their way past us and stood right in front of all of us that had been there. It was ridiculous. And they were so rude about it. They would just shove right past you, throw your chair out of the way, step on all of your stuff, whatever they had to do to get to the front of this section.

At some point I had to tell myself to get over it because there was nothing that I could do and that I just needed to enjoy myself and enjoy the show that was going on. Unfortunately once again, I couldn't see the stage, but I could see the jumbo tron again and I could hear them and they were AMAZING! What's crazy about them is that when they were booked for Country Jam like 6 months ago, they weren't super popular, but since then they have blown up, so they ended up having a huge crowd, which isn't always the case for the artists that go on that early in the day. So that was pretty cool! I hope I get to see them again one day.

This is a picture from Florida Georgia Line's Facebook from that
day at Country Jam. I was definitely in that crowd somewhere. 

After Flordia Georgia Line, my friend spotted one of her other friends and we had told them what happened during the last show and not being able to see, and it just so happened that her friend was sitting right up against the fence(where no one could get in front of you) and she had extra room, so they invited us up to sit with them!! I was beyond excited because that meant that I was actually going to be able to see the stage for the next two shows.

Gary Allen was next up on stage. Although I know a lot of his songs, I wasn't dying to see him. But he still put on a great show. We had a lot of fun watching his show and just singing and dancing along to everything. And I think being able to see made it even better.

Once Gary Allen was done, we sat patiently and waited for the headliner for that night who I was so incredibly excited to see. Yep, that's right! It was Miranda Lambert!!!!!!!!!! I told you guys a while back that the Pistol Annies were supposed to play in this spot but had to cancel so Miranda took their place. I was definitely okay with this switch and let me just say, she DID NOT disappoint! Holy crap! It was probably one of the best shows I have ever seen! We were all screaming and singing and dancing along and I just had an absolute blast! And I just love how she is such a fire cracker and I just love her! She is amazing!

She is definitely one that I will want to see every time that she comes to town. Unfortunately in my excitement, I forgot that I had my good camera with me and I didn't take any pictures with it. I tried taking some on my phone, but because of all of the lights on stage, they turned out like absolute crap. Thankfully Nikki got a couple on her camera and her phone that turned out pretty well, so she sent me this one.

It isn't the best, but you get the point.

And did I mention that Miranda is so freaking beautiful?! And I just love the person that she is. Everything she said on stage about herself and her hubby, I know is absolutely 100% true. They are such down to earth people and that is one of the main reasons that I love them so much. Aaaaagghhh! Just thinking about how amazing she was is making me want to see her again! Like now! 
Needless to say, Day 2 was definitely one of my favorite days! And of course the people watching that day was even better than the first day! We also got serenaded by some drunk guy walking past us. And Nikki had some guy touch her ass. He was pretty cute though so she let it slide, haha! We had such a great time and it was definitely a day that I will never forget!
