Living in Fast Forward

I can't believe that it is almost July! Jacob is now 10 months old and I just can't believe how time flies once you have a baby. My days are so busy and I catch my self constantly being amazed at what all I DON'T get accomplished any more. Oh well!

Speaking of living in fast forward (thank you Kenny Chesney), I left Jacob for the first time last weekend (yikes!) to go with one of my very best friends to the Brothers of the Sun tour featuring Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw in Nashville. Jacob got to spend some quality time with his daddy while Mommy had a night out on the town. I was so anxious about being away from him like that for the first time. I mean I obviously leave him everyday to go to work, but this was different since it was an overnight trip. I had nothing to worry about though. Jacob was just fine and I had a blast! The concert was outdoors at the Titans stadium and it was HOT! I have never been so sweaty in my life!

Yes, the sun was in our face for most of the concert. But it was worth it!

I am more of a Tim McGraw fan and he definitely did not disappoint. He was looking fine in his white pants and white shirt and we even got a special surprise when Faith Hill came out to sing with him.

Kenny Chesney!

Then the sun went down (hallelujah!) and it was time for Kenny to take the stage. That man is one of the best live performers. He truly loves his job and it definitely showed. The concert started at about 4:30 and did not end until midnight. The Tennessean was reporting that there were roughly 50,000 people in attendance and I definitely believe it. This was by far one of the best concerts I have ever been to and I had a blast! Thanks, Ash, for taking me with you!

Father's Day

I know, I know! It has been too long since I last updated. The funny thing is, I actually wrote out a couple of blog posts (and they were quite good) and somehow lost them. And yes, you read that right. I actually write my blog posts, then type them on here. I know...so old-fashioned, but I just feel more creative when I actually put pen to paper. That fact right there is why I will probably not reach my goal of writing a book before I'm 30.

Anyways, Sunday was a very special day for us because we got to celebrate Phillip's first Father's Day. I grew up with a great Dad. My dad always believed in me and gave me so much love and support. He pushed me to always be my best and I would not be the person I am today without him. He was my softball coach for many years and never missed a game I played in. I didn't get to actually see my dad on Father's Day because his wish was to spend the weekend fly-fishing. His wish was granted. After all, this man helped raise three girls...he deserves whatever he wants!

With my Daddy at my wedding. This is the only photo I have access to right now, so it will have to do!

I was so excited to celebrate Phillip's first Father's Day. Words cannot express how much I love this man. And I fell even more in love with him when Jacob was born. He is the very best Dad to Jacob and every day I thank God for him. Jacob really adores Phillip and Phillip just lights up every time he sees Jacob. I am truly best to have both of these boys in my life.

Jacob LOVES to have Phillip read to him.

Happy Father's Day!
