Lady A

A few months ago, the hubs surprised me with some tickets to the Lady Antebellum concert.  We went.  Last night.  Without a baby. I even straightened my hair, put on some makeup, and put the boots on. :)  Date night on a Tuesday night!

While on our honeymoon in Maui, we discovered one country station.  It played the same ten songs over and over again. That's where we first discovered Lady A.  What an amazing group and even better live. 
 Awesome seats.  Totally closer than what this picture makes it seem like.
The opening act- Darius Rucker.
 You might know him as Hootie...you know, from Hootie and the Blowfish from the 90's.
 The Blowfish are still with him in his band (and no longer officially the Blowfish), but he's pretty much known as a "solo" artist.  Way to sacrifice the "band" for the sake of popularity!  Great business move...really...because Hootie and the Blowfish hit a dead end in I don't know when, but Darius Rucker is climbing the charts.

(Please don't ask why he's in country music because I have no clue.  After a thousand years of being Hootie and not releasing too many popular songs, I'm assuming he crossed over and he's a pretty amazing country singer. He might have grown up in the South, though.)

Until last night's concert, I didn't even know each member of Lady A. All I knew was that Lady A consisted of a girl and two guys.  Their names were a mystery, but let's meet them now.

This is Charles.
For awhile I was referring to him as Lance...you know...Lance Bass from 'N SYNC.
Tell me you didn't have to do a double take just now.

There's this guy who plays the guitar, piano, sings- the Renaissance man.  No idea what his name is.
 He kind of reminds the hubs of the Olympic skater, Evan Lysa---something or other.
I'm not completely convinced, but I'll let him have it this once.

Then there's the girl, Hillary.  I like her.  Not only does she have a great voice, but I don't get her confused with anyone else out there.
So there's the team.  And I will mention that the members of their band consisted of a guy who looked like a young version of the lead singer from Goo Goo Dolls...
 
...another guy who looked like a young version of Timothy Schmidt from the Eagles...
 ...another guy who looks like Chef Guy Fieri...
...and Hillary's husband (not pictured), who was playing the poor man's version of a drum, beating a wooden box the entire night.  :P

Oh, what a night!  

Thank you, hubs for thinking of me and taking me to this concert.  So lucky.  And a HUGE thank you  to Mama and Papa for babysitting (on a weeknight!) the Bug, who apparently did not want Mama to put her to bed.  She wanted to do it herself...again.  She just lays there, sticks the bottle in, throws it out of her mouth when she's done, turns onto her tummy, and goes to bed.  What an independent woman this Bug is going to be.  

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
