Life As I Know IT

As I post this blog, I'm reminded of the Reba McIntyre song: "Is There Life Out There?" This song is about a woman who married young, had children, and is wondering is there more to life than home, work, husband and kids. Well, the past year has been an awesome year for me. I have done lots of traveling, had some of my dreams come true. But, I realize there is nothing more important that family. Family keeps you grounded, family is there no matter what, and family always takes you back with open arms. From October 2, 2008 till July 2, 2009, I attended 6 NKOTB shows. They were so wonderful! I felt as though I added a piece to the puzzle of me. The puzzle of life that is still being put together. Each show added one of those pieces. I have met some amazing women, saw some amazing things, gotten to travel and see new places, 3 a.m. McDonald's runs, etc. I have had amazing times. Now, I've had some people say they wouldn't arena stalk and sit outside all, or hang out after concerts waiting for the group to come out, go to 6 of the same concerts, etc etc. But, it's all in what floats your boat. Yes, I married young, yes I had children young, and yes I'm back in school working on my RN with 4 kids, 2 dogs, 1 bird, a hubby, house, and 2 full time jobs as a LPN. I wouldn't take back anything in my life at all. I have made choices I regret, but I've learned from those. I am thankful each day for my family and thankful that they love me, even though I have a serious New Kids addiction!

Virginia Beach NKOTB Concert June 5, 2009

I'm so late putting this out and I'm so sorry. It's not like I have a lot of followers, but I did promise on Twitter that I would get out my experience in VA Beach and so here it is!!! I am going down 64 to VA Beach and get a tweet that Donnie Wahlberg is at the Guadalajara eating lunch. Well, then my phone blows up. I called Jenn to google the address so I could put it in my GPS, I'm going crazy because I am behind a wreck in bumper to bumper traffic, and GOING CRAZY!!! Donnie Wahlberg was not even 10 minutes from me and I'm stuck!!! So, I go into the emergency lane and drive down it passing everyone. I get a lot of middle fingers thrown up at me, horn blowing, and I'm praying the whole time a cop doesn't see me. I get out of traffic, call my friend Susie whose friend scored free passes from Donnie to the afterparty, who says he's leaving. OH SNAP!! So, I get to the restaurant as he is leaving! I'm soooo upset! So, I get to the hotel (whi...

New Kids Concert Memphis July 2009

I never even posted a blog on Memphis! I can't believe I didn't! I had such a great time there. I met a lot of great girls, ran into Jessee McCartney at my hotel, saw a lot of things I have never seen before, and finally did a NKOTB meet and greet. It was a week I will never forget! Starts out that Shannon and I decide to go, so she drives up from Charlotte, NC to my house in VA and we roll out to Tennessee. We stop in Blountville, TN at a Sonic. Our waitress had big blonde southern hair and Shannon ordered a banana. Of course, I tweeted it! We then picked up Mary Beth and Savannah and off to Nashville. We decided to stop in Nashville because of the long drive to Memphis. We tour ed the down town area and see all the sights and sounds that is Nashville. I got inappropriate with Elvis, we saw the Batman building downtown, and ate at Hard Rock Cafe after a looong day and evening on the road. But, I forgot the best part. My hubby didn't want me painting up the van with all ki...

This blog has been chomping away in my brain.  I've debated back and forth about posting it, but I've decided that I want to chronicle my experiences this year.  The last year in my 30's.  If anyone reads it, then great.  If not, oh well.  What?  I'm not being sarcastic or whatever, I'm just stating facts.  I would love to have readers and a following, but I'm just not that good at keeping up with these things, nor am I that interesting.  Posting this is a way to post for all of posterity for my children and possibly grandchildren to see.  Wow, I'm not even 40 and I'm talking about grandchildren.  That needs to stop.  LOL!  So, 2018 began with me in RN school.  I've worked as a LPN for 10 years and decided to go back and get my RN.  I turned 30 and became a LPN, at 40 I'll become a RN.  Nothing dramatical about that huh?  January found me in critical care and psych.  I pushed through both of those cla...
