you're gonna have to check that

-

Last night i went with some friends to see Jack Johnson in Dallas!! We purchased these tickets the day they opened...i believe our friends got them on PRESALE!!! :) I have been waiting for this fun night for a while and was super excited! Figured out monday morning night that Kimmel wasn't going to be able to join us due to football practice that didn't get out til 7ish. So i bummed a ride with my friends and we headed to dallas to eat and see the show.

We don't go to dallas really at all, we prefer fort worth downtown, so it was nice to do something different. We ate at this great restaurant/bar place called Angry Dog. We got burgers, and chicken sandwich that was DELICIOUS! The crew i was with were not get there super early so you don't miss anything even the crummy opening band people, so we arrived late in my book :). Our seats were awesome, but i couldn't take in my camera! They guy peered into my purse and said ma'am you're gonna have to check that. At first i thought ok sure, i'll "CHECK" that in....and just walk on by but NOT take pictures...but he escorted me to the security place, the lady gave me a claim ticket and asked my name....said come back with that ticket and you can get it back. I was like cool this is a legit place, i mean really! By 11:20 i was getting a lil nervous and was ready to head over there and just hold my expensive to us new toy! After Jack finished i went back to the security place and on a table in there were like 10 cameras. Some with a case and some like mine without. They didn't ask for id, or anything just the card and said what is your name, sign here. I was like oh wow i am so glad nothing happened cause that is a lil shady! Alas I have no pictures :(

Back to Jack! He started right after 9 and went til 11:50!! He went from song to song, it was like i picked the play list and he just played it! He talked a few times. My favorite part was the encore, he came back and started with 'do you remember' which is a sweet song about him and his wife, and he updated stuff....like said the year they met...and now they have been together for 17 years! Its awesome to see a pop person celebrate that and hold it as important! I know i don't know him but he rocks and i would love to be his friend!

if you don't know him i suggest you itunes it and find out the amazing smooth, calm person of Jack Johnson and his Music!!!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba
