Country Music Heaven

Happy Humpday cupcakes. Glad to see you =)

Remember when I wasn't feeling well Monday? Well, it's because I looked like this.

Yep, that's a nice sunburn I've got going on there. 

I don't spend a lot of time in the sun. I'm a pasty white girl and I enjoy being one. I may not get skin cancer someday but after this evil burn, I may. It hurt like a bitch. 

So why was I spending so much time in the sun? Well, only so I could go to this.

Yes, Saturday I went to Toby Keith's Oklahoma Twister Relief concert and had a fucking blast. I went with my auntie, blake, kyla (the one that keeps reoccurring in that picture above), and my auntie's niece. The lineup was pretty awesome.

and a surprise guy I don't remember.

Basically, i was in country music heaven. 

Of course I did some drinking. Do you know me? We had beers and margaritas. The margs weren't that great though. Not enough tequila. That's a thing. It was so hot though that I lost my buzz. 

I've now been to OU. Which makes my heart go pitter patter. But those seats, what in the fuuuck were they thinking. Seriously to get out of my seat and make my way to the food and booze I had to sexually assault every person on the way in front of and behind me. Sorry guys. Hope you enjoyed what was probably a little bit of a peep show. 

I'll leave you with more pictures to look at. I've got a puppy to go chase. 

He was pretty good. I didn't like him much before but I'm a fan now.

Are there even enough words? I'm so happy I got to see Willie.

My aunt lost her shit when Sammy Hagar came out. 

p.s. I didn't get any pictures of Toby because iphones suck at taking pictures at night. Womp womp. If you'd like to donate a camera or start a fund so I can get one, that would be greatly appreciated. Just e-mail me for info ;)

Heavy Heart

I actually had a really fun post planned for today. However, after yesterday's events I just didn't feel right talking about my fun vacation.

My Auntie lives right outside of Moore. To get to Norman you go OK City, Moore, then Norman. I've been through Moore many many times. I'm glad that she doesn't live there today. I was so scared for her. Yesterday there was a small tornado in Norman, luckily it was on the other side of town

As somebody who lives 15 minutes away from Joplin, I know first hand how scary these storms are. I know what it's like to know somebody who was a survivor of that tornado. And I know how hard it is for these people to start over. They've lost so much. Home, clothing, yes possessions are just possessions and you can always get more but what about those possessions that are special and can't be replaced. Pictures. That's my biggest fear during these storms. I only have a select few baby pictures of Teagan because some asshole stole my memory card. And I grab those photo albums every time the sirens go off. And that's often.

Anyway, this isn't about me. This is about survivors. This is for the strong people of Moore who will rebuild and who will become closer to each other. They will be a community again. I'm asking you to help if you can. Remember yesterday's post about those that helped my aunt? This is how I plan on passing it forward. I will do whatever I can.

I pray for those families who have lost their poor babies. I pray for those who have lost friends and family. I can't imagine what it's like. I honestly don't want to know. And right now, what I'm really praying for is that my auntie's best friend who lives in Moore gets in contact to tell her she's ok. That's what I really want. And I literally jut got the text that my aunt has heard from her!

This is all I've got today. Please keep Oklahoma in your thoughts.

And because who doesn't love 21 Jump Street and this is true
