Bunko

It was my turn to host Bunko this month. It was one of those rare months that all of us were able to make it!

We had fun visiting, eating, trying new recipes, lots of catching up, yelling for Morty, and laughing! Love these ladies. They are wonderful, kind, loving, happy, willing to serve and FUN! I am so lucky and thankful to call each one of them a friend of mine!

p.s. I love these photos. John was our photographer. He just kept snapping photos. He didn't give us the "123...smile" or say "cheese" warnings...he just snapped away. I love how they turned out!

G.N.O - Brad Paisley

I had been looking forward to this night, all Summer long! My girlfriends, Lisa and Patti planned a super fun G.N.O. out to see Brad Paisley in concert. While I wasn't wishing for the Summer days to fly by, I was super excited to see BP in concert again! Well, the day/night had finally arrived. YAY!!! 

27 girlfriends got together to go the concert. I think it was our largest G.N.O. attendance to date. We carpooled over, enjoyed picnic dinners on the lawn(our seats for the evening), and took LOTS of photos...a concert tradition. I need to thank my friend Amy for all of the photos. After the ordeal of getting/smuggling my camera in, I discovered that I had left my SD card in my laptop, at home. So frustrating. Amy saved the night and made sure our evening was well documented.

Loved meeting up with this cute friend(Mer). So happy  she could come.

The Band Perry opened the show. They were awesome. I left the show liking them way more than I did when I walked into the concert that evening! That is always a good thing :-).

Brad Paisley was awesome! He sang all of my favorite BP songs(Waiting on a Woman, Celebrity, Mud on the Tires). There was even an appearance(virtual) by Carrie Underwood. The sang another favorite, Remind Me. That was pretty cool and deceiving...we thought she was really there :-). 

It was an awesome Summer evening spent with fabulous friends, enjoying some great tunes!
I wonder who we are we seeing next???

G.N.O.

I was able to catch the newest Twilight movie with some girlfriends. No, I didn't see it at midnight on the opening day. In my 37th year of life, I have decided that I enjoy my sleep more than I ever have before. Seeing it at 7 pm, the following day was perfectly fine with me.


















Out of all of the Twilight movies, this one is my favorite. I think they must have had an increase in their budget compared to the 1st movie. This movie was the raciest by far. Lets just say that my boys will not be seeing this one when it is released on DVD. I really liked how certain things that were described in the book came to life on the big screen(I won't spoil anything for anyone). It was fun to escape and relax with the girls tonight!

signs of a great time

I hosted this months Bunco night. It is always a fun night out when you get to spend it with favorite friends. We enjoyed yummy food, dice rolling, Morty tossing...okay, it is more like throwing :-), yummy desserts, the summer themed Morty basket, great conversation, creative prizes(thank you,Amy), and lots of Buncos!!!

American Saturday night....

Brad Paisley style.





















I had the chance to attend the Brad Paisley concert on Saturday night with girlfriends(GNO). The show was AMAZING from start to finish. Brad was awesome, he totally rocked the stage. I have heard his music before & liked it. Now that I have seen him, live in concert...I am a fan & am enjoying all of his music.





























Jimmy Wayne(never heard of him until the concert) & Dierks Bentley(love, love, love Dierks) opened the show for him.


























The music was great, the evening weather was perfect( after a HOT day), & these girls were so much fun to chat, sing & dance with.















Who should we see next?
p.s. Huge thanks to Amy & Jen for sharing their concert pics. with me.
