Well this past weekend was an interesting one to say the least. What started out as a fun little girls night to go see Chris Lane, Kelsea Ballerini and Rascall Flatts turned into a night of me thinking that I was going to be a widow for the rest of my life. So here’s a fun little lesson on males – apparently there is some condition that can cause them to pass out while peeing. WHO KNEW? Something about it drops their blood pressure rapidly and blah blah blah. I would also like to call this condition “send your wife into absolute panic, bawling, shaking, hysterical, will never be the same, can’t sleep but can still eat because hello, nachos” mode. Thankfully Shawn is alive and well but I made him promise he will never go pee during the middle of the night moving forward [I welcome wet sheets] so I don’t have to witness that again.
In all seriousness though, it does make you stop and think a heck of a lot about life when you experience a brief dramatic episode like we did on Friday night. I won’t get into all of the details because I cry thinking about it, however even folding his white tee shirts yesterday made me so grateful that I have these tees to fold. While it ended up being nothing too serious, it was all I needed to send me into that “life is so precious” thought process and while we can get so caught up in the not so important details of our day to day lives, it is the people that we have around us that really matter. Being a believer in Christ, I sometimes think He sends little [or big] signs to take a step back and analyze where you are putting your trust, your priorities and hope for the future. Good call Jesus, it’s like You knew I needed that.
Moving on to lighter subjects though [sorry ladies and gents, I was totally planning on showing up today and writing a lighthearted post and then BAM, this whole dear diary thing got the best of me]. Back to what I was saying in the first sentence about the concert Friday night. It was a night of sing- alongs and major girl crushes. Is anybody else out there just in love with Kelsea Ballerini or is that just me? It wouldn’t kill me if I had to be her for the rest of my life.
The rest of our weekend was spent tailgating over at Notre Dame [lets pretend they won, it makes that statement cooler], going to the grand opening of HomeGoods to which I found a big ole mirror for $65 which means my countless mirror selfies just got a whole new life. I know, I’m sorry for you too. The weekend ended with a bonfire with friends which was the flame on the fire [think icing on cake but more relevant to the event at hand] to cap off the weekend that was.
May all of your men stay vertical while peeing and may we all figure out how to be a cute blonde with a dynamite voice and spunky little hip shakes. I think the first option may be our easiest, just sayin’.
ps. Is it just me or is it time for a complete blog redesign? Random I know, but true.
pps. Speaking of time for something – have you melted shredded cheese on tortilla chips in the microwave recently? BEST BREAKFAST EVER.
ppps. Supposedly there is
some giveaway going on that a few [thousand] of you have decided to enter. I heard it ends tomorrow so maybe
jump on that now before your chances are gone, gone, gone!
pppps. Remember when I used to take pictures with a real camera and not just post my IG photos in blog posts? Yeah, I hardly do either. #stepupyourgameerin
