Today's subject for Whatever Wednesday is "firsts." So let's see... Well right now it is my first time blogging from the blogger app. Also, it's the first time I've blogged out of an automatic car wash. And so far I'm not totally impressed with either.
Could this be the most pathetic post so far this year? Probably, but listen. I was basically on my death bed yesterday. The only reason I made it through was the hundreds of snapchats I was getting from my mom and Landon taking such good care of me.
ok. heads up. this is going to be a longer post. (shay.) but this weekend Landon took me to see Tim McGraw at USANA. And it was phenomenal. One of thee best concerts I've ever been to. BUT- let's talk about before Tim got up on stage. Brantley Gilbert and Love and Theft did their thing and we were waiting for Tim McGraw's stage to get set up. It was a beautiful day, it had stayed around 79 degrees, but by that time it was around 9 at night, the sun had set and it was sort of chilly. And I didn't bring a jacket because I'm an idiot. So I figured I would just take a little walk down to the bathrooms before the concert continued just to get my blood pumping and maybe get a little warmed up.
So I pushed my way through the insane crowds (this joint was PACKED. Sold out show.) and almost made it to the bathrooms when the speakers started to pulse loudly signifying that the show was about to go on. I stopped and was like, "meeeehhhh should I hit up the bathrooms real quick, or just go back...." and everyone had started heading back to their seats so I turned around to go back too. Then suddenly I was alone on the sidewalk and everyone up on the railings and in the chairs were staring at me. Jaws dropped, eyes popped, and I was sort of worried I was having a wardrobe malfunction or something when everyone started to scream all at once. And I was like, what the? and I look to my right and TIM MCGRAW IS WALKING RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!!!! I literally didn't know what to do. I covered my mouth with my hands in disbelief and he looked me in the eyes and grinned. I reached out to him because I still didn't know what to do with myself and he reached back to touch my hand. I grabbed his hand and maybe his upper arm-tricep-area (rowz) with my other hand. Because I was majorly fangirling at the moment. It only happened for a split second before security clotheslined me into the wall, but it was probably one of the most magical moments of me life. He was then swarmed with a thousand more people somewhat resembling this:
I ran back to my seats with Landon unable to speak. I maybe even teared up a little bit. I'm pathetic.
The rest of the show was fantastic. He is amazing live and you could just tell he was having a great time. I was clear up on the lawn seats, but my camera has impeccable zoom and I got some pretty good pictures and video. Bear with me on the video though because with the zoom in as far as it could go even my breathing would send it into unstoppable shaking.
Also, if you find yourself watching any of these I apologize ahead of time if I'm maybe singing along.
It's near impossible not to.
So, I recently had to go shopping the other day when I realized I was still wearing my winter clothes and it has already hit the 100's this year. I needed something bright and summery looking. I was able to get a really cute outfit, but it has sparked the shopping bug in me again.
I'm still not off the mint green bandwagon, but I'm digging it combined with peach now more than coral. Landon and I are heading off on an anniversary trip next weekend and I wanted to maybe has a cute little outfit like this:
Hopefully I can get my mits on an outfit like this from She Inside and Garage before next weekend. Mostly, I'm just leaving a bookmark for myself for this website on my own blog so I don't forget about it. I know. I'm a genius.
So two years ago today, I hired onto a job that I didn't even know existed. I took it because my fiancé said it paid good and it wasn't viciously boring. I had no idea what I'd what I signed on for...
I had no idea how many Redbulls and Monsters I'd be drinking. I had no idea it would be in the prettiest area of Salt Lake. I had no idea pranks were part of the job description. I had no idea how hard it would be to decide where to go to lunch that eventually brackets got involved. I had no idea how terrified of MSHA and Safety I would become. Or that studying for a test for things I had been doing every day for a year would be so hard. I had no idea what a Grease Monkey was or that I would be drawing birds in the dirt I washed. I had no idea that night shifts weren't nearly as horrible as I had imagined. And even though he quit awhile back, I had no idea how awesome it would be to work for the same company as Landon. When the AC went out, I had never worked in such hot weather. Or when the heaters gave up-such cold weather. And I never, ever had to be pulled out of a snow bank so many times.
I didn't realize that I was going to love it as much as I do.
I have never worked so hard in my life, and that makes me proud of myself.
My co-workers and my boss? they're my best friends. And I realize how big of a deal that is.
How big of a deal all of this is. To love my job like I do.
I may never leave.
I got up early and found ANOTHER spider the size of New Jersey in my bathroom. I was going to let him just chill there, but then he came after me. I had to run to get Landon to come kill it for me, but when we got back to the bathroom it was out of sight. The rest of the time spent in the bathroom was excruciating.
Damn that spider. Damn him.
And then I got to work and immediately got a splinter the size of the spider the size of New Jersey in my hand. I had to dig it out with a disposible "splinter remover." That worked great, but now my hand stings.
Damn that splinter. Damn him.
On a brighter note, I bought an iPhone 4 off ebay yesterday. My world is looking up again.
So yesterday, I hit a very spoiled and 1st world level of depression. Because the iPhone 5s wasn't announced at Apple's WWDC. I have a lot of nice things, I shouldn't complain that I don't have an iPhone, but a couple months ago my phone I've had for two years now decided to crap the bed.
The thought of having to wait until OCTOBER for a new phone makes my head hurt. But I also don't want to buy the iPhone 5 only to have it be out dated in three months, ya know? uggh. This is a whole new level of pathetic heart break.
I managed to soothe my sadness by breaking out my new Kitchen Aid and making some home made bread sticks and alfredo sauce, and some of the best chocolate chip cookies in the universe.
I've never loved an appliance like this one. If I could snuggle with it in bed, I would.
