A special night with my daughter, a swim with an old friend, and life...

Do you ever have those super busy weeks? I'm sure we all do. This week has been CRAZY! I only have been able to make one good workout. Yesterday my friend Holly and I went to the pool for a 90 minute "in the water" workout. Thank god she was good for whatever because I was in that "lets just get this over" mood. I will say Holly is an AMAZING swimmer. I wish I would have gotten some pics:( See you know my mind is busy when I don't take a single picture. #busybloggerfail!


Being so busy sometimes we forget to enjoy the things and people around us. Having 3 kids that also are very involved in their sports, my husband and I try to make individual time for each kid. So last night I had a special little night planned for my little girl. (Sorry its so blurry, it was so dark in there).

95 KSJ, a local radio station and fellow Clear Channel radio show was having a great event called Stars with Guitars at Moe's Bar b que.. It was a fundraiser for St.Judes. I love going to these types of concerts because you know that all the money is going towards a great cause. The singers that came were RaeLynn (Cadence's favorite) Scotty McCreery, and Maddie and Tae.

Cadences second cousin Alyssa is an asst for one of the singers, Rae Lynn. So with the help of Alyssa, I was able to surprise Cadence by taking her to the concert. Let me tell you guys, I thought she was going to have a heart attack when I told her. Lol! She was super excited that her best friend Sarah was also going with us.

We got to the venue about 6. Ate some delicious food. If you haven't been to a Moes Bar b que, you MUST go. Then the show started at 8. What I loved about the concert is that it was more like an intimate show. All 3 acts came out together and sat in stools with a couple guitars players and took turns singing.

It was an amazing night. They raised a lot of money for St.Judes and my baby girl had a blast. And this is why God Made Girls. So in true RaeLynn fashion...
Just remember always take the time to live in the now. And spend quality time with the ones you love, especially your kids.

A special thanks to Raelynn and Alyssa for making such a special night happen for Cadence.

Oh and one last thing, I had to brag on my husband who has perfected my bike to fit me better. Its great being married to an amazing steel worker. He can modify anything:) LOVE IT. Here he is testing it out...
(He was just in front of our house.Yes, we wear helmets for rides)
