So it has been a long time since I blogged. We are limited on our internet use at work and I am too lazy to do it at home in the evenings. My evenings seem to be packed with all kinds of activity.

Here is a recap of my recent activities:

Sept 5th: OSU vs Georgia game! We won our home opener and moved to numero 5 in the polls. It was a great weekend and we stayed in Stillwater after the game and relived some college days. I also drowned my phone and camera :)
Sept 7th: Labor Day was nice and relaxing. The roomies and I hit up the patio at Los Cabos and enjoyed a few margaritas. Our friend Billy joined us and he always brings a good time. We had a nice dinner of mac and cheese and hit the hay early.
Sept 11th: Headed to Edmond after work and spent some much needed time with the nieces. Baby Jordyn is the sweetest thing I know. She has the chubbiest little cheeks and makes me just want to kiss her all day. Lauren and Allison and I played in the playroom and cooked a dinner and set the table while Lauren played Mommy and Allison and I were the daughters. Allison was Alexia and I was Alex. :)
Sept 12th: Got up early that morning and headed out for some soccer. Lauren played first and scored a goal. It is so cute to see her score and get so exited and run to her Daddy and see the look on his face when he gives her a high five. It warms my heart. Next up was Allison and her game was the most hilarious. Since she plays soccer in the backyard and knows the rules she was really ready to play. They lined the 3 year olds up and blew the whistle… and off she goes. She is the only child who even moved on the field and she kicked the ball all the way to the goal and scored while all the others just stood there and watched. It was hilarious.
She almost made it through the whole game without crying.
Then it was off to Stillwater for Grammy, Pappy, Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Heather. We pulled into town just about game time. We were excited for an easy OSU victory and that is exactly what we did not get. OSU fell to Houston 45-35 and my brother was absolutely livid. Let’s hope for something better this week.
Sept 15th : My roomies and I had dinner and Ti Amo’s in downtown Tulsa and then walked to the Britney Spears concert. It was awesome! That is the only was I can describe it. She def puts on a show and anyone that any interest in seeing her should do so.
Sept 16th: Ghengis Grill=delish
Sept 17th: Kickball kickoff. First 2 games of the season and we dominated. It was muddy and muggy.

Now that you are all caught up.. I am headed to my friend Sam and Alanda’s tonight to see their new bundle of joy Lucas. I made them a lasagna and plan on holding that sweet baby as long as I can before they kick me out.
Tomorrow morn is Race for the Cure and I will be starting the 5k at 7:45….yawn. Then a nap, shower, and headed to Stilly for a fun-filled day with the nieces and family.

Til next time!

Blah

I really wish I had an interesting blog post but after my John Legend experience I just can't seem to think of anything worthy of posting.
Here are some things I am annoyed with right now:

1. This idiotic company that I have to deal with at work. Daily.
2. Why grass grows so quickly and doesn't mow itself.
3. Ex boyfriends
4. Shin splints
5. Misplacing one of my most valuable items and not having time to look for it
6. Still not having my car radio... it has been way too long and I want it back

Things I am loving right now:
1. My obsession with John Legend and India Arie music
2. OSU football
3. My nieces
4. Sophie dog
5. Reconnecting with an friend
6. This one is a secret... stay tuned... I may be able to reveal it soon!

Music Video Future

Here's the video... please don't mind my friend Tasha repeatedly screaming my name in the background.

Enjoy!

John Legend

So here is the story....
My friend Tasha invited me to go to the John Legend concert last night (front row seats). I excitedly accepted cause I love love love John Legend and I also have never been front row. So a couple songs in he says "Men, grab your ladies cause we need to dance to some love songs tonight" and he started to sing. He got up from the piano and said "I think I need a girl to dance with". Tasha started pointing at me and he looked down at me and said "Come on up here baby". (AHHHHAHAHA! )that is me being so excited just telling you the story!
So I am helped on stage by his body guard and we start to dance. He is singing and we are grooving and i didn't even have time to get nervous. Looking back at it, I have no idea how I wasn't freaking out. We dance the whole song and as I am about to walk off stage, he says "come over here girl" and gives me a rose and holds the mic to me and tells me to say my name. Then he hugs and kisses me and takes me back to my seat. It was the coolest thing that has ever happened to me! I knew several people that were at the concert and I started getting texts and people were already facebooking me.
Tasha took some pics with her phone and Grant got a video but I haven't seen it yet. I am riding out my 15 min of fame! I was the most popular girl leaving the show Monday night.. and the president of my company was there with his wife and he has been talking to me about it all day. So anyway, if you wanna hear the story in detail you can call me. If not, I'm sure I will tell it every chance I get for the next 25 years.
I swear I could not be more excited to tell people abou this! I don't even care if I get annoying cause seriously people, when does something like this happen to someone (i.e.- me).
I have become slightly more obsessed with John Legend than I already was and have already planned my life if he calls and says "You were the best part of that concert, come away with me". Ok, that probably won't happen but a girl can dream.
If you have never heard John Legend, I recommend you listening to some of his songs. My favorites are "Stay with Me", "Green Light", "Used to Love You" and "Ordinary People".
And last, I have to give a shout out to my girl Natalie for introducing me to John Legend years ago. She burned me his cd and I have loved him ever since. So Nat, this ones for you....Cheers!

Tuesday (My new favorite day)

Tuesdays are wonderful. We have decided to take that night and make it a fun night to do whatever we want. We can go eat, or go skating, or see a movie, or whatever our little hearts desire. Tonight is dinner at PF Changs (I freakin love this place) and then mabe headed to the bookstore for a little browsing. Elaina and I love books and we could spend hours in bookstores.

This past weekend I went to my parents and helped take care of Lauren and Allison. It was so much fun and we only hit a few kinks and only had a few screaming fights. Nothing that I am not used to or can't handle. I love my nieces and family so much and wish I could see the girls every weekend. It is gonna be about 4 weeks until I get to see them again :(

This weekend I am headed to Dallas to do some more wedding planning with Katie. Man, I wish she lived closer...I swear we would be attached at the hip... Kristin too. We could be quite the trio.

Random Thoughts and Facts

1. Katie found her dress. Sad I missed it but very glad she has that out of the way. I will be going down there next weekend so we can start the bridesmaid shopping.
2. Tuesdays are one of my new favorite days.
3. I miss my nieces and I get to spend the whole weekend with them- minus baby Jordyn cause she needs her momma to eat.
4. I want new work clothes.
5. I am ready for OSU football season. Go Pokes!
6. I love my dog.
7. I have a great life and am thankful for so many things.
8. I made really delicious chicken enchiladas the other night.
9. I am really into running right now. I hope it stays that way.
10. I have a routine that I follow every morning and I don't like to change it.

Wicked

Wicked was so good last night! The show was sold out.. not an open seat in the house. My mom, grandma, and I went and my mom and I loved it while my grandma (Deeya as we call her) did not like it. No wait let me clarify, she said she "hated" it. She couldn't understand the words and she thought it was awful. Oh well, we liked it and had a great time anyway!

Not too much on the agenda this weekend. Having some Happy Hour drinks with my friend Julie after work today and then hopefully hitting the hay early tonight. I need to accomplish a lot tomorrow. Laundry, cleaning house, birthday party, store, wash car, maybe do a little retail therapy :)
