California, NHS, Hedgehogs and Exhaustion....

I know it has been a hot minute since I last blogged. However, I have been busy lately following Chris out on the road, working and helping the girls bring their school year to a close. I have changed time zones so many times in the last few weeks that my body clock has no clue what time it is and I would love to just sleep an entire day. Alas, I will not be sleeping all day any time soon. I seriously do not know how Chris travels like he does AND plays a show AND then comes home to yard work and household "man" chores. He is Superman!!

I followed him to California a couple of weeks ago. This is the third or fourth time I have been there and have seen very little of the state. (Note to self: take an actual vacation to California) I ate at an "In-N-Out Burger" in L.A. If you have never had a Milo's burger or a burger from Mcguire's in Pensacola, FL then it was good.  The weekend was a wonderful adventure with my sweet boy. We saw some old friends and some new ones. We really enjoyed every minute of getting to visit with them all. When I got home it was right back to work. I love my job and have a fantastic boss so getting to travel is even more enjoyable!

Last week was eventful as well. Allison was officially tapped into the National Honor Society. She has worked so hard for the honor. I am so proud of her but a little bit proud of me too!! ;-) The school year is drawing to an end and both of my girls are exhausted. Projects, papers, tests and study groups seem to be the theme of their week until mid-May.

Saturday has been slated as "Get Allison a Hedgehog Day."  So we are ending a very busy week with a trip to Dodge City, AL. Somewhere in there I have to squeeze in cleaning house and doing laundry. I'm starting to think that a fairy godmother is in order!

Have I mentioned that I'm exhausted?

Vegas, Friends and An Award Show.....

Whew!!! What a weekend!! I survived my first trip to Las Vegas. And I do believe I will require a return visit. I never left Mandalay Bay and would like to go back and sight-see. Chris was very busy rehearsing for the ACM Fan Jam so I was left with some time to burn. As it turns out, some friends of ours had coincidentally planned a trip to Vegas for the same weekend. So we all got together and I have not laughed that hard in a while. Thank you Matt, Laura and Alyson for being hilarious!!! 

As I sit here reflecting on the weekend, I'm thinking that the best part by far was getting to spend it with my sweet husband. Even though it was rushed and he was busy those few moments of quality-time here and there made the trip special. 

For those who might be wondering, I TOTALLY forgot to take my camera so no pictures :(  I guess if there isn't any photographic evidence what happened in Vegas really will stay in Vegas!?!
