Carrie Underwood Concert!

Can I just say that I have loved Carrie Underwood since her tryout on American Idol?!? She is my favorite female country singer by far. So my husband got me tickets for our anniversary last August for her concert that she put on at the E Center last night! Not only just tickets, but on the floor, 8th row tickets!! We were 2 seats away from the cat walk. We could reach out and touch her. It was amazing! I even got one of her guitar picks that she herself threw out to the audience. It was exhilarating!!! And of course I got a t-shirt. If you like country music at all, I definitely recommend going to see her. She puts on a fabulous concert!

In memory of my best friend....

This past weekend my kids and my dad went down to Centerfield to see my mom's headstone that they had just finished. It was the first time being back there since her burial at end of June. Her headstone was just beautiful. It was perfect. It was her to a tee. It was very emotional as we walked to her grave. I don't know if any of you have lost someone extremely close, but as for me this is the hardest thing I've ever gone through losing my mom who has been my best friend my whole life. My dad is just the sweetest. We brought her some flowers (gerber daisies her favorite) and pulled the weeds off her grave. They haven't planted grass yet so there was a little work to do. We then sat down in front of her headstone and talked about her a bit. It was nice. I felt so close to her and it felt so good. We stayed there for a couple of hours. It was fun to spend some time with my dad and kids. It was a beautiful day!

I love you mom..........miss you more than ever!

Me, Layla and my dad
