What a Night!

I had the absolute best evening last night! My good friend Irene took me to see Randy Travis here at the Casino. OMG!!!!! Her husband even managed to get us tickets to the meet and greet...so yes I met Randy Travis and got my picture taken with him to boot! He is really very down to earth....gentelmanly is the best word to describe him I would say. He put on an amazing concert. It was an early birthday present for me...she is a great friend! I will remember this birthday thats for sure!

Another friend Sue met us at the Casino after for drinks and something to eat. It was great seeing her as she has been away for the last week. So we had lots of catching up to do. We enjoyed some great food, many laughs and wonderful friendship.....really what more could you ask for!

My youngest son is still here with me....I know he is holding out hope that things will work out with his girlfriend...however she asked him to bring more clothes here last night and early today I went to go in the trunk of my car to get something and it was loaded with stuff of his.....I may not be a relationship expert but that doesn't look like a way to say "maybe things will change". I am torn between staying completely out of it (not easy) or trying to talk to him and encourage him to move on....I feel bad for him cause I know he really wants things to work out but I have to be honest and say I don't think its in his best interest.....not offense to his ex girlfriend...she is sweet girl but just young and confused....much the same as I was at her age! So for now I will sit back, and be here if and/or when h needs me. He did get a new job which he seems happy about so that will be good for self esteem and keeping busy.

I'm hoping the weather is going to clear up tomorrow! Its been a rainy, cold few days...not that I'm complaining about the cool weather.....I could do without all this rain tho! My kids and grandkids and I are hoping to go to the balloon festival tomorrow. A family day that is long over due! None of us have ever been to the festival before so we were really looking forward to it....so lets hope the weather clears! If not we have a plan B.....bowling! That should be fun....I'm sure my 3 year old grandson will put me to shame! haha

So I have finally picked a date to begin Phase I of my plan to make things better in my life......this coming Monday! Which also happens to be my birthday :)
I figure what better way to start a new year then to do something good for me! So I am taking the steps necessary to put Phase I in place......so stay tuned for Monday....Phase I will be in place and revealed! Its nothing earth shattering but it is a step in the right direction...and everything starts with a first!

Well I'm off to enjoy the rest of my day....a good book is in my future I think!
