Surprise Mood Booster!

For some reason the last couple weeks have been BLAH...I don't know how else to describe it. I've been a grumpy, boring, lame mom and an on edge, nagging wife...NO, I'm not pregnant just my award winning personality shining through I guess. Anyhow, on my way to work tonight (the whole 3 hours a month I work) I remembered it was the Carrie Underwood concert which J and I had originally had tickets to but ended up selling them a couple weeks ago. I was feeling so bad for myself (yea, I like to throw a good self pitty party occasionally) that I had actually gone out and purchased her CD yesterday so I could at least listen to her in one form or another. So, as I'm driving to work thsi evening, I can't help but consume myself with visuals of me at the concert and how much I had wished I was going to see Carrie rather than going to work to practice mouth to mouth on a dummy for hours. Three months ago when we had first purchased tickets I had even ran out and bought the perfect shirt to wear to this much anticipated event...now it would just hang in my closet with no where to be worn to :(.

As I pulled into the parking lot at work I receive a phone call from J...now being the snotty wife I've been the last little bit, I questioned whether or not to even answer. WOW was I glad I had chosen to open my little, ghetto, free phone! Upon answering the phone J urgently said, "You've got to get out of working tonight and come home", my heart immediately sunk...that is until he proceeded to tell me that my darling friend Jamie had an extra ticket to the Carrie Underwood concert in one hour and needed a date!

I can't even tell you how excited I was and how my self thrown pitty party came to an abrupt hault! I backed right out, called my boss (it helps when your boss is your mom :)) and sped home to meet my darling date! (Thanks Jamie!!!) The concert was a blast! Carrie is by far one of my favorite singers and she's as beautiful as she is talented. (You can't help but wish you looked like her!) She put on a fun, energetic, wonderful concert and I got to wear my new shirt I had been dying to wear! What a fabulous night!

We actually ended up sittting in front of my good friend Tricia from Bunco and her hubby Brad...it's a small world! (It was so fun to see you guys! Thanks for taking all the pictures, you two are troopers!)

Tricia, Jamie and I...

Thanks again Jamie for making my month...better yet my year :)! You were a great date and are an absolute blast to hang out with! I'm sure J will be thanking you soon as well due to my much improved mood!

What a fun night and a total mood lifter! The invite couldn't have come at a better time, thanks again Jamie, you rock!
