New Post, Same Story...

Holy Crap! I have not blogged in almost two months... Jeez. Apologies to my followers if any of those still exist!

Anyway, One may think that the long absence is because so much has been going on in my life... but One would be wrong. Again, my life in the last couple of months has mainly consisted of my routine of eat, sleep, crap, work (though it's not always in that order); however, there have been a couple of things worth mentioning...

September 24th
Near the end of September I found myself wedding dress shopping with my sister. It was definitely an experience I'll never forget - not because we fought or had some sort of "you're getting married" revelation, but just because it was a fun and happy day. (For those of you who are wondering, yes, she found a dress. It was the first one she tried on and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's definitely the right one for her and maybe in June I'll post pictures cause right now it's on lock-down!)

October 1st
The week after wedding dress shopping, I officially became Godmother to the best little girl in the whole wide world. Again, a very fun and happy day that I'll never forget! I don't even know what to say about it. It's an amazing experience. I feel so grateful every day. (Okay, okay, I'm done with the mushy-gushy stuff. I just love my Goddaughter so much and I miss her. Lots.)

October 2nd
So, the Baptism was the first day in October, which just happened to be the day before I became a Sales Representative at Verizon. My first month was definitely a learning experience (and I still have much more to learn) but I'm liking it better than I thought I would. I'm still hoping to be a PIMP relatively soon though. (PIMP = Person In Management Position)

October 16th
On the 16th my cousin who lives down in Georgia came up with her husband and new baby, so that was fun. It was nice seeing her again as it's been a couple of years and I had not met her husband until then. It's always nice having family reunions for good reasons - and of course the baby was adorable!

October 25th
October 25th brought the PARAKATE (Parachute/Kate Voegele) Concert. I had read about it on facebook (as I'm a fan of Kate's) and bought tickets way back in August. Mom had agreed to going with me since tickets were only $15 a person; so, that night we showed up to the Cabooze (a bar/club in Minneapolis) and sat out in the cold for about 40 min. before finally getting let in and it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! First off, they had this opening group billed as the Rebels and they were pretty awesome. (They have now changed their name to the Empire Kids so look them up on facebook or youtube. I can't believe they've only been together for like 6 months. They put on a very good show.) Then, after a brief intermission KATE VOEGELE took the stage (and when I say took the stage, it was this tiny stage and even though I was sitting near the back, I was still only like 15-20 feet from her) and she absolutely blew my mind. I mean, I've been a fan of hers for four years or so, but I cannot believe how incredible she sounds live. It was awesome. Then, after her set, during another brief intermission, I got to go buy some swag and meet the Empire Kids (amazing funny guys, by the way - and it helps that they're just so damn cute). I didn't think it could get any better, but when I bought my Kate Voegele hoodie I got a wrist band for me and mom to meet her after the concert! So, Mom and I had to stay through the Parachute set (not a great band, in my opinion, and even worse live...) but afterward was able to meet the tiny spitfire in person! K, when I say tiny, I mean TINY. I was literally scared I was going to break her when I gave her a hug - but she was super sweet. I, of course, acted like a complete goon and had her sign the shirt off my back (literally) and have been obsessed ever since. (Now, for those of you who don't know who I'm talking about please Google her, Youtube her, something. She's such an amazing singer/songwriter and I will attest to the fact that she sounds EXACTLY the same in person as she does on her albums = TRUE TALENT.)

*I believe the word you're looking for is... ANYWAY*

That was the big stuff in the last couple of months. I apologize for the huge gaps between posts, but you should be happy since any other post probably would've been about my guy issues. Yes, as the title states, New Post, Same Story - I'm still having issues getting over Donnie and I keep questioning my feelings for Donnie vs. my feelings for Brian, etc. and so forth but that will have to wait for another day as I am exhausted. Today I had a day off and was lucky enough to see an old friend from Rochester whom I haven't seen in almost a year. It was awesome. I literally laughed for 5 1/2 hours straight and that takes a lot out of you! Therefore, I will bid you all adieu... Thanks for reading and goodnight!

P.S. Hi Latoya! Thanks for reading!!! I miss you, lady!!! Get facebook again.
