This past weekend was one of the best weekends I do believe i've ever had. Saturday morning we went down to the town square for "Christmas on the Square". There are always a million vendors selling the same thing pretty much every year. However....when you are only there to eat funnel cakes the repetition of the event doesn't effect your day in the least :)
Blush Dance Company's debut was scheduled for 12:15pm....and we were sooooo nervous!!! Beka completely pulled it off! She did an amazing job, my cloggers did an amazing job, and we had a really good crowd cheering us on. The studio has only been open since September, and Bex has been working her hiney off. I'm so proud of you Beka!!
After Christmas on the square it was time for the parade, football game, and bonfire. It was a perfect day.
Now this is where it gets good! January's Christmas present from me was a cookbook...I know that seems odd, but just bare with me for a minute. 2008-ish January discovered and introduced me to an amazing blog that has literally changed my life...."thepioneerwoman.com". (I posted about Pioneer Woman a whiiiiiiile ago if you wanna go catch up) PW's real name is Ree Drummond and all jokes aside....I want to be her when I grow up :) A couple months ago Ree's cookbook was released and she announced her book tour. When I saw ATLANTA on the the list I literally screamed....out loud. Brad just ignores my outbursts when it's related to PW. He know's I want to be her....and I think Brad secretly wants to be her cowboy husband "Marlboro Man" when he grows up ;) Anyhow, so I scream and decide that a road trip to the book signing would be the rest of January's gift!!!!! So now you should be caught up....Sunday afternoon we loaded up the truck and headed to ATL. Trips to Atlanta are always a treat because we get to hang out with Cody and Katie! They are amazing, and hilarious, and we miss them crazy bad when we aren't with them. So we arrived at their house sometime Sunday night, stayed up until...some ridiculous hour discussing iphones, twitter, facebook, and the controversy over Tim Tebow crying....and eventually we made it to bed. The next day was shopping, delicious food, and PW!!! WOOOHOOOO!! January and I arrived at the book store around 5:00pm. I'm so glad the signing didn't start until 7:00 because we got there super early and we were the 250th & 251st PEOPLE IN LINE!!!! Seriously!! I am clearly not the only person that wants to be reincarnated as Ree Drummond. It was CRAZY! We waited, and waited, and drank root beer, and waited, and read about our signs, (i'm a Leo by the way) and waited, and finally......It was time to get in a different line! Yippee...so we waited some more, and sometime after midnight WE MET REE! We had our cookbooks signed, posed for a picture, chatted for a split second, got our t-shirts, met Betsy (Ree's sister), met Hyacinth (Ree's creative friend), and then drove home! I had the most amazing time & enjoyed the company of the most amazing people! Can't wait to do it again :)
As previously discussed...this picture was taken well after midnight...excuse the sleepy smiles ;)
