Today we planned my road trip to NASHVILLE! (It may not happen, but I'm trying to be optimistic.) The plan is to leave here, head to New Mexico to see a friend, then on to Texas where there's a statue my mother wants to see, then Oklahoma where I'm trying to track down Garth Brook's address (can anyone help please?). After that we're heading to Fort Smith, Arkansas where my grandparents are originally from. Hopefully we can see the church where they were married (over fifty years ago) and see where my great grandmother has her final resting place. After Arkansas we'll be heading to Tennessee! Wahoo! (Sounds like Vicki from Real Housewives of Orange County- that show is amazing and I'm totally on team Gretchen, Tamara was just WRONG.) Graceland is totally happening, it just has to. But finally after that we will be in Nashville, where I've been wanting to go practically forever.
The reason for this road trip down the I-40, you may ask? Going to see Sara Evans, Chris Young, Luke Bryan, and so many amazing others- too many to list. It's for the CMA Music Fest and I couldn't be more excited.
So far I have a couple thousand saved up, but I need more. I'm on it though- saving and planning and making this trip happen! (Even though my best friend, Caitlin, is being evil and doesn't think it's going to. She also ditched us today to hang out with a boy- whatever!)
Right now my mother is painting. She does that. She's making a wooden Mickey Mouse for my grandfather's 80th birthday. 80 freaking years, can you believe it? His birthday is Saint Patrick's Day- couldn't be luckier.
Also, LMN (Lifetime Movie Network) is on TV. There is this freaky movie on where an antique ring's former dead owner is haunting the new ring wearer. This channel and this movie are GOOD. I highly recommend. (Okay, honestly today is the first time I've watched LMN, but it comes highly recommended by my cousin http://www.mysocalledspookylife.blogspot.com.)
Jamba Juice and a walk with the dogs added to today's success. I have three dogs and two of them are amazing, and the puppy? Well he's kind of evil. But we love him anyway.
The Mickey Mouse my mother is painting it a little loaded. Or a lot loaded. Or well he's just not right. But by my grandpa's birthday, he'll be perfect! (Hopefully.) Oh gee, oh gosh, don't cha know!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
