Wild Adventures and Lady Antebellum

About 2 months ago, I saw that Lady Antebellum was going to be playing at Wild Adventures. I grabbed my phone and called Anthony, and he PROMISED me he would take me to see them because they are my favorite band!! I was so excited I could not even sleep the night before!!

I was so excited that my best friend Mechelle was able to meet up with us for lunch!!!
Riding the tram to the park!

Waiting in the HOUR long line to get our locker!

....Still waiting in the hour line!
waiting for the concert to start...
At the concert... We look rought because we had JUST got done riding water rides!
our AWESOME seats.....
Even though we couldnt really see the band, it was an amazing concert. They sound just as good live as they do on a cd!! :)
worn out at the concert!!!

Yesterday was a CRAZY day at Wild Adventures. Their maximum capacity is 11,000 and they somehoe managed to let in 15,000 people. With that being said, we had to wait in line for over an hour to get a locker, over an hour to get into the water park, and over an hour to ride rides!, and there was not a place left to sit or stand for the concert. I was amazed at how packed it was! But even though all that happened, the concert made up for everything! So, thank you Anthony for making one of my dreams come true by seeing my favorite band!! :)

Congratulations Warren and Jill !!!

Last week, one of my best friends , Jill, adopted a precious little boy!

As soon as I got the text that they were headed to the hospital, several girls rushed to their house to get everything clean, the nursery ready, and signs painted to welcome home the new Gorman family!

My mom thought we should put the bow around Marley and send a picture message to Warren and Jill! I thought it was too cute!

I love seeing Jill as a litttle Mama! Cant you just see the motherly glow?!
This sweet baby has already stolen my heart! I cannot wait to watch this handsome boy grow up!! Love you Baker!

Been a while...

I'm way behind.... so here it goes.

A few weeks ago, my best friend, Mechelle, made her 1st visit to Albany for our CPR training class. I was able to take her to a few of my favorite places.... El Vaquero, TCBY, Church, and Maggie Moos. I was so excited to have her here! I dont think I could ask for a better best friend!!

Our strawberry cheesecake yogurt with granola on top... and a gummy worm!

Laying in bed watching a movie!.. I miss my movie nights with her!

At my brothers graduation luncheon at church.

About to say our "goodbyes" ... which are always hard!Chanel laying out in the pool

I have been babysitting ALOT. This is one of my favorites. Kenzie. She is a VERY good gymnast, almost olympic level! I wish I knew how to put up videos of her tumbling on the beam.

When I went to get her Wednesday, I had this waiting for me.. A necklace, and bracelet.

Babysitting my cousin Genevieve

.. and one of her friends.. (I dont know where the other 2 girls went :( oops!

NEW YORK CITY

**I cannot get the formatting right for some reason, sorry!!**

For my graduation, I asked for a trip to NYC!! My parents and grandparents decided to make my wish come true...New York is one of my most favorite places to visit. My friend Fowler's birthday was the same day as my graduation, so for her birthday she asked for a trip to NYC. Luckily, we were all able to work things out and make it into a trip for the 5 of us! It was definitely a trip to remember. Here are some of our memories.....

Taking off....

so much jewelry....

our $5 Ray Bans and Christian Dior sunglasses :)

I love this picture of my mama and me

My friend/fowlers cousin Paige.. who now lives in NYC

She took us to a delicious bbq restaurant

Fowler, me, and the Empire State Building

We were already worn out after the first day...

these walls were in honor of the firemen killed in 9/11

It rained the entire time, but we were troopers and didnt let it stop us!
This piano was so much fun... BUT it smelled like stinky feet.

Our hotel... (just kidding)
Seeing our first celebrity.. Josh Gomez.. We had no idea who he was, but it was neat to see the paparrazi surrounding him.

We are Mama's girls...

This screen overlooked times square.. You can see us in the far right!
Our $80 shirts we got for $9 from Anthropologie.. We love good deals!

This was the neatest restaurant.. Ellens Stardust Diner.. They bring the food while singing, and put on a show the entire time.

We HAD to visit the DASH store.. Since we have seen it on tv. We could not afford ANYTHING in there... but we wanted to say we have been there.

Sitting in Anthropologie resting our feet!
Waiting for the Subway.

We ate at a DELICIOUS chocolate restaurant called Max Brenner. I highly recommend it to anyone that visits NYC. This was Mimis dessert.

Mrs. Lisa's and Fowlers dessert

Mamas apple cinnamon dessert

My smores dessert

Visiting Paiges apartment.

The garden outside her apartment.

At Serendipity restaurant.. This restaurant was in the movie "Serendipity" and is famous for their frozen hot chocolate!

Their menus were huge.

This show was absolutely AMAZING!!! I caught myself smiling the entire time!!
Buying our Lion King shirts at the show.
We ran into one of my good friends (from Albany) at the show..
This was baby Simba and Nala :) They were so cute and did such a good job!
In the New York airport, we ran into Wynonna Judd.. She was SO sweet and SO funny!! This was one of the most exciting parts of the trip! We were determined to meet a celebrity!
Heading home...
