*I'M ALIVE, and WELL*

Alright, I realize its been 3 months since my last post. I'm sorry about that. My life has been so much fun lately, and I know I say this a lot but I've really come to realize how blessed I am for the family I have. My mom and dad, step dad, and step mom are the best ever! Its taken me a long time to truly appreciate and love my step dad. And I just want to say AGAIN that I am so blessed to have not only one but 2 great dads in my life. And my mom, bless her heart for putting up with my VERY opinoinated self! Just had to say that real QUICK. After the Kenny concert I went to TOBY KEITH, KEITH URBAN, and the love of my life JASON ALDEAN* toby and keith were good concerts as always they always put on such a great show! But I swear the best concert I ever went to was Jason Aldean in VEGAS at the MANDALAY BAY hotel. It was out in the beach area where the pools are. And the stage was set up right in the water so we were able to walk up to the stage and dance, and sin in the water! I swear Jason knew how much I LO VE him! He just kept looking right at me and smiling, because as you all know I'm his number 1 FAN!!!! He just is such a great preformer. I suggest all of you guys go and see him and let me know what you think. That was not only the best trip to vegas I went with my best friend karissa, our friend yvonne, and my boss nancy and her hubby. We all just had such a blast! Also I have dated a few guys in the past 3 months... None of which I am dating now. Such is life I guess. I honestly feel that every guy out there has some sort of addiction! Wehther it be cigarettes, weed, alcohol, whatever it may be. I'm to a point in my life where I want NONE of that, except for the couple of adult beverages once in while. There is no harm in that. So as of yet I have not found a guy worth my time for more then a month. I'm at a place in my life where I feel content, and if I should meet that wonderful guy that's great if not that's great too! So no more deadlines on when I should be married, and have kids! And let me tell you its such a relief to finally feel that way!!!!! And to finally be in such a great place with myself. So that's how my 3 months have been. I'm very blessed to have such an amazing FAMILY, and to have a handful of friends that are actually good friends! I will promise to update more often then every 3 months. And later today I will post pics from Toby, Keith, and my boyfriend JASON =) have a great day!

OK SO THIS CONCERT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T SAY THAT ENOUGH! TYCEE WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE LADY ANTEBELLUM, AND MIRANDA LAMBERT. SHE DIDN'T REALLY CARE A LOT FOR KENNY CHESNEY, BUT IT WAS REALLY NEAT. AFTER MIRANDA LAMBERT PREFORMED WE WENT AND STOOD IN LINE TO MEET LADY ANTEBELLUM, WELL TYCEE WAS SO EXCITED TO MEET THEM AND ESPECIALLY HILLARY ONE OF THE SINGERS. WHEN WE GOT UP TO THE TABLE DAVE THE GUITAR PLAYER WAS LIKE ' HELLO SWEETIE, HOW ARE YOU? AND TYCEE IS LIKE FINE. THEN WE GET TO HILLARY AND I SAY HILLARY TYCEE IS YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN! SHE JUST LOVES YOU WITH HER WHOLE HEART! AND HILLARY HADN'T SAW TYCEE AT THIS POINT WHILE I WAS TALKIN TO HER AND HILLARY LOOKED DOWN AT TYCEE AND WAS ALL" OH MY! YOU ARE JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!" YOU ARE SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! WHAT IS YOUR NAME? AND TYCEE GOES, " TYCEE" AND HILLARY IS ALL I LOVE YOUR NAME! YOU ARE JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! AND THEN WHAT WAS REALLY COOL IS CHARLES KELLEY THE OTHER SINGER IN THE GROUP REACHES CLEAR ACROSS THE TABLE TO SHAKE TYCEE'S HAND AND IS ALL " YES I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL I'VE EVER SEEN! DID YOU ENJOY THE SHOW!? AND TYCEE IS LIKE " OH YES" IT WAS JUST SO NEAT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE TYCEE TO SEE HER FAVORITE BAND! WHILE WE WERE STANDING IN LINE THE GIRL BEHIND US KEPT SAYING HOW CUTE TYCEE WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO MEET LADY ANTEBELLUM. AND SEEING TYCEE'S REACTION WHEN DAVE, HILLARY, AND CHARLES WERE TALKING TO HER WAS PRICELESS! I STARTED TO CRY, BECAUSE IT REMINDED ME WHEN MY DAD TOOK ME TO SEE TANYA TUCKER IN CONCERT AT THE STATE FAIR WHEN I WAS TYCEE'S AGE. I REMEBER THINKING THAT WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER. AND TO BE THERE AND ACTUALLY SEE FIRST HAND HOW TYCEE REACTED WAS SO COOL!!!!!! ! SHE WAS IN AWE OF MEETING HILLARY SCOTT! I HAVE TO SAY I MET LADY ANTEBELLUM 3 TIMES LAST SUMMER AND THEY ARE THE NICEST MOST DOWN TO EARTH PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET! THAT HAVE BEEN FAMOUS ANYWAYS! IT WAS THE BEST NIGHT JUST BEING ABLE TO HAVE TYCEE MEET THEM! SOOOO COOL! KENNY CHESNEY WAS GOOD AS ALWAYS. BUT THE HIGHLIGHT WAS TYCEE GETTING TO MEET HER IDOL! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!

*the KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC*

Oh man... Today I have been waiting for, all summer long! And since about February! I am so excited and so grateful I get to see George strait AGAIN! And in this great state of UTAH! I first saw george strait at the MGM grand about 4 years ago. Troye and I met in las Vegas and such the best time EVER. I remember it like it was yesterday. Taylor swift opened for him, and this was when she was first starting out and was good. Now I can't stand her! But man I just have always loved George and will for the rest of my life. I'm sad because Troye isn't going with me today, but don't worry sis, I'll take tons of pics for ya! But soon to come pics of this AMAZING concert!!!!!

*PAIGE MARINA*

THIS LITTLE CUTIE, I FELL IN LOVE WITH WHEN SHE BECAME A PART OF OUR FAMILY ABOUT 5? YEARS AGO. SHE IS THE BEST BIG SISTER TO TYCEE AND TRIPP, AND IS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THOSE 2! SHE IS REALLY JUST A CHILL RELAXED GO WITH THE FLOW KIND OF KID! I HAD WALKED INTO MY MOM'S HOUSE THE OTHER DAY AND TYCEE AND PAIGE WERE PLAYING, THE SECOND THEY SEE ME, PAIGE IS LIKE TAN WHY HAVEN'T YOU EVER BLOGGED ABOUT ME? TYCEE SAYS THE SAME THING! I'M ALL WHOA THERE TY I HAVE BLOGGED PLENTY ABOUT YOU!ITS ALMOST LIKE YOUR MY KID! I TOLD PAIGE I WAS SORRY THAT I HAVE NEVER BLOGGED ABOUT HER. I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE NEVER, BUT TODAY IS THE DAY!!! SHE IS SUCH A DELIGHT TO HAVE AROUND! I JUST LOVE HER TO PIECES! I ALSO HAD THE BEST TIME EVER IN MOAB WITH HER. SHE RODE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR THE WHOLE WAY DOWN TO MOAB, AND WE WERE JUST SINGING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS.. (I SHOULD SAY I WAS) PAIGE SORT OF LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS REALLY MOST DEF HER CRAZY AUNT! BUT THAT'S OK! WE HAD FUN. SHE IS JUST SUCH A SWEET HEART. SO I THOUGHT I'D POST REALLY QUICK ABOUT HER!

REAL QUICK*

I just wanted to say how I am so blessed to have the most best friends a girl could ever have! Necia, aubree, kirstyn, and karissa! You guys are the best! I was watching a show to night called army wives I just love this show! And the girls reminded me of all of us. You girls have been there for me no matter what and I am so grateful to you all! Kirst and Necia I've been friends with you coming on 10 years, I can't imagine my life with out you two. Through your guys marriages kids having families, we stay in touch no matter what and I just love you guys with my whole heart to pieces! I thank all 4 of you for being my friends through the good and the bad times! I just felt the need to share with everyone how amazing these 4 people are to me!

*DELICATE ARCH*

We all went and hiked to delicate arch on monday, our last day in moab. it was such a blast! I had no idea Aage had never EVER hiked up to the arch! so it was really neat to be able to be there for his first time! also christie and julie have been calling each other every morning for the past 2 months and have been going to the gym! Christie had made it a goal that when we all hiked up there she was going to hike ALL THE WAY to the arch. I am so proud of her for setting such a goal, and for going to the gym everyday ! when i won't get up my lazy ass in the morning and go myself! this was a very cool expierence! not only was it aage's first time being up there, christie had this goal, and Arian was with me! she had never been either. The funny thing is, Aage kept up with all the kids the WHOLE time and got to the arch 30 mins before the rest of us! i was a little worried he'd have a heart attack, but he didn't and he did a great job! I can't say this enough i AM SO PROUD OF YOU CHRISTIE! WAY TO GO SISTAH! ok here are some pics of all of us at the arch! enjoy! (all of these are from my phone, remember i thought my camera was broke)

MY SISTER JULIE HAD BEEN PLANNING THIS SINCE MARCH, GOT EVERYONE TO MEET UP FACEBOOKED US ALL ABOUT ONCE A WEEK TO LET US KNOW WHAT WE WE WERE DOING, GAVE US ALL FOOD ASSIGNMENTS FOR DIFFERENT DAYS, AND GAVE US A LIST OF ACTIVITIES WE WERE TO BE DOING WHILE IN MOAB.
