I spent all morning slaving away on Thursday so that I could come home to a clean-smelling house (best decision) and waited anxiously for Nic to barge through the front door.
Much to my surprise.... he got home EARLY! By 4 hours!! So we took off for destination Merville for a fun-filled weekend.
We had made all sorts of plans and couldn't wait to get there!
It all started with a best friend and a salon.
I've been considering dying my hair for a while now (like 5 months) but because of the best friend's advice, wasn't able to do it until now.
We got married 3 months ago and the best friend told me I would always regret it looking back in the pictures. I had been a blondie for 20 years.
Who wants to regret anything from their wedding day??
So I waited.
And I'm glad I did.
The appt. was for 8:30 pm and she so sweetly agreed to stay and finish it. She had been there since 10 that morning! That is a LOOOOONG day people!
I used to be one of those people that would FREAK when I had to get my hair cut.
Even a half an inch made me sad.
My hair has pretty much always been long.
Since I wasn't able to dye it before the wedding I cut it short instead and LOVED it.
My first brave step!!
But Thursday I had to be even more brave.
The process was longer than I thought. I have had my hair highlighted with a few different shades of blonde for several years so first she had to apply a color that would even out all of those different tones. I admit, I might have had butterflies racing in my stomach when I saw orange paste being slathered on my hair. But, after the sitting and the rinsing it just looked like a medium shade of brown.
I LOVED it already. I was so excited and thought we could be done haha but there was still the color that I chose that needed to be added. Just like the color before it... after the applying, the sitting, the shampooing, that conditioning... I looked in the mirror and saw a whole new me.
and might have had a bit of identity crisis the rest of the weekend.... but all in all, I LOVE IT!!
So what does my sweet, patient, husband do while he has to sit and wait and wait and wait at the salon...
Me: "Sorry you have to wait so long, what are you doing?"
Nic: "I'm catching up on my celebrity gossip!"
I'd occasionally glimpse over when I heard shriek of excitement.
I should have known that every time it would have to do with "a SWEET car"
Friday was a very exciting day and I had been anticipating it for a while now.
I have been 3 other times so I warned Nic that some of it gets a little crazy.
As we pulled up, with the semi-shocking look on his face, the look that said (I think YOU are the crazy one for going to this), I said to Nic
"Welcome to VANS WARPED TOUR"
and by the end of the day he was really happy he went.
Wait, you have never been?? Let me fill you in...
It is a mad house. Millions of people.
It supplies the best people watching including crazy hair styles, people who are shirtless that really shouldn't be
Moshing (people flailing their arms and legs looking pretty ridiculous) and Crowd Surfing.
Sweating from standing in 90 degree weather for 9 hours.
But the BEST part of all... some of the greatest bands ever!
SUM 41
I was totally "in too deep"!
Remember the greatest song ever 1985?
or maybe Ohio (come back to TEXAS)..... sung as IDAHO today I might add.
how about the song that you TOTALLY related to.. or at least I feel like I do.. High School Never Ends?
Be prepared to get even more excited....
I give you...
BOWLING FOR SOUP
They gave the BEST show I had seen in a long time.
The lead singer's humor, just like Jack Black, funniest comments of my life!
AND, they even stopped in the middle of a song to pose for a photo for everyone.
Did I already mention how cool they were??
If you didn't know I am obsessed with the band RELIENT K.
I have every cd, every song memorized, and a t-shirt that makes me look like a total groupie. I love it.
THEY CAME! and I of course ran to the stage early before they played and missed out on A DAY TO REMEMBER because I am that much of a creepy fan haha.
It was the lead singer (Matt's) birthday.
So everything went AS PLANNED so far.
I'm a total planner by the way so this made me a happy camper.
Until Friday night.
I've had this thing going on with my skin for two and a half weeks now.
Talked to two doctors who can't figure out what it is and have tried 4 different creams, none have helped.
They originally thought it was ring worm but none of the medicine took it away and no one has caught it from me. Ringworm is SUPER contagious FYI.
Well, I wore flip flops to Warped Tour. BIG MISTAKE. It wouldn't typically be because I always have a pair of flip flops on but with this skin thing, it was.
All day I felt like I had blisters forming between my toes. I got band-aids (that struggled staying on) from a paramedic but they didn't help. I got home at the end of the day with really swollen feet and itchy rings covering them.
I felt like they were bruised and beaten.
I'll leave the picture out of this one.
From there all the plans started getting canceled... no more bonfire at a friends, or going to the beach the next day, (which I had been DYING for you'll see in my post tomorrow), or getting a pedicure with my mom, or sleeping for that matter.
It was still the perfect weekend.
We went to a few consignment shops on Saturday that were small (not a lot of walking) and I wanted to buy just about everything I saw haha
I LOVE distressed furniture.
Besides money, not being able to fit in our car was the good excuse the husband came up with to keep my hands tied behind my back.
We FINALLY saw the last Harry Potter movie.
SO GOOD!
I was a little confused at some parts though, I guess they left quite a bit out that helped explain some of it.
Basically, I should have read the book first.
Saturday night I got to see my two cute little nieces and wanted to take them home with me.
Then Sunday we had to leave way earlier than usual to get back and go to the doctor once again.
To sum up the weekend:
I love seeing my family.
I love Meridian.
I love vacations.
I just loved getting away.
Hope you all had a fun weekend too!!
