Wow, Has It Been Since July?

So....yeah....I'm back? No promises though haha!

I realized the other day that I completely stopped blogging and the funny thing is I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT! I guess it's because I like to blog when it's not taking away time from stuff I need to be doing or from spending time with my husband. I haven't found a lot of extra time for awhile.

Currently, I have a ton of stuff I need to be doing. But, the hubby is outside dealing with a sprinkler-flooding-the-beach-volleyball-court-4wheeldrivetruck-stuck-in-the-mud issue right now. He's got WAY more important things on his mind and doesn't want my help so here I am. :)

I should mention I'm way annoyed with this flood thing. Our electric bill was insane last month, so we've been trying to conserve. Of course this would happen now. If you feel like having a mud fight, come on over. There's a bright side to most problems, right?

Well, I guess I should start off with a little "catch-up" blog on our life since July. It's sad that I actually have to go grab my 2009 calendar to remind myself of what we did. I'll be right back.

I'm back.

August
*10 year high school reunion-I know, right?? This was a crazy thing to swallow but it had actually been 10 years. We both got wrapped up in helping plan the event, which actually wasn't a ton of work. I'm glad we did though because it gave us a chance to catch up/get to know other people with all the planning meetings we had. That way, we showed up at the reunion already reconnected with some people. Kerry and I were lucky since we are high school sweethearts. We both went to high school with the same people so we didn't have to drag our spouse to a reunion where they wouldn't know anyone. It was a fun event. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. I'm happy to say I didn't win the "most babies" award. I totally respect those classmates that have a ton of kids because I know I couldn't handle it with as much poise as they do. I'm just glad it's not me! I remember leaving that night being so thankful that I married who I married. I am a lucky woman.
*Jason Mraz concert-LOVED it. Let me back up. I have told Kerry for years that I will someday see this man in concert. But I also had a few demands. It had to be the right venue. Intimacy with the crowd is the best! It had to be the right seats. I've got terrible eyes and just wouldn't settle for anything out of my range of sight. If I could have those things, I was willing to wait for the right show. I waited. And waited. Last year, I was boldly hinting I wanted to go see him in LA for my birthday. Hubby didn't pick up on it. But this year, when I saw that Jason Mraz was coming to Murphys, CA and I said, "Where?"....I knew it was the one. My guess was that a lot of people didn't have the time or energy to find Murphys and actually drive there-It was a terrible, windy drive! I was SUPER excited when Kerry surprised me with tickets for our wedding anniversary in June. Now, I hold a lot of musical respect for Mraz. There are a ton of haters out there that are really starting to irritate me. I'm very ok with anyone having an opinion when it comes to music, but to be so critical and blantantly rude about anyone's opinions is not ok in my book. Until you've seen Mraz live, you haven't experienced how amazing he is. His style sometimes is a little funky and different, but his voice and lyrical talents are really unmatched when combined. Back to the story about Murphys! We get there and it's at this winery where they have an outdoor venue. Our seats were as close to the pit/standing room only area as you could get. So we're sitting there before the show and I see Jason back behind the stage chatting with some people. His back was to us so I could only see who he was visiting with. I decided to wave. I was 90% sure the girl would see me and ignore me. But, the ridiculous happened: She told him someone was waving at him....he turned around....and waved back!!! By this time, Kerry had joined in the wave along with the couple next to us. But still....that was way cool and set the evening off right. Next, Kerry talked our way down to the pit by scoring wristbands from some of the workers (I'm very cool if Kerry's flirting can get us cool stuff like that). The next thing I know, we are like 15 feet from the stage!!! The rest of the night is a blur of awesomeness. I just remember thinking...I'm so glad I waited. Perfect venue. Perfect seats. I highly recommend going to his concert, you won't regret it. And I'm still ok if you don't like him, just don't rub it in my face haha! I have a lot of strong opinions about music that I don't like and I tend to keep to myself in case someone in the room really like's who I can't stand; it's just called being polite.

I think I need to spread out my catch-up blog in a few blogs since I've only been through two events in August and I'm feeling done with the computer.

Send prayers-Kerry's still outside being the man of the house trying to fix our flooding issues!

I'm still pondering....do I even have time to keep up with this blog??? Stay tuned. Both of you, stay tuned.
