This past week. :)

I'm going to catch y'all up on this last week, which has been so busy!
I got my Driver's License Tuesday! :D
Tuesday night I went to my dad's and I've been working for him all week.
Lemme tell you, getting up at 5:15 and working 7 hours for three days in a row, in like 105-113 degree dry cleaner's has worn me completely outttt.
But I made money for my trip, so it was worth it :)
I'm now sitting at my mom's work until she gets off. This weekend I'm going to go shopping for clothes for my trip. :) I'm leaving a week from today, I can't express how excited I am!! :D

I'm going to Disney!!

July 6th, I will be getting on a plane to go to Orlando to visit my family in Winter Haven, Florida!! I can't wait!!
I'm staying until the 17th :). While I'm there I'm FINALLY getting to go to Disney World and I'm literally so excited! I can't wait for these next two weeks to fly by!!
I'm nervous about flying on my own, but I'll be okay. :)
I'm so happy that I'll be getting to see my family. It has been almost 5 years since I've seen them, which is way too long.

Wake-Up Calls.

The friend that I was talking about in my last post?
Well she just gave me a huge wake-up call.
And even though I just tried to mend our friendship and it didn't work, well I'm not going to let that happen to another friendship of mine.
Because this particular friendship ended because I have no brain to mouth filter. And I HATE that trait of mine.
I don't know how to fix it. But I do know that I'm going to try to work it out. And If you're my friend and  you're reading this, if I say some dumbass thing that hurts your feelings. PLEASE TELL ME! I promise that 99.9% of the time, I don't mean it the way it sounded.
I have an issue with speaking before I think. And I come across as a bitch, I'm sure. But I do not mean to. At All. I really hate hurting anyone's feelings. It makes me feel horrible. And i generally cry after someone tells me that I've hurt their feelings, honestly.

I'm vowing to work on that and become more positive, right here, right now. I'm not going to continue on this path I'm on.
So even though I'm crushed that our friendship is over, I at least am going to become a better person now.
I don't have a quote for today. Because I'm too depressed.

Blood is thicker than water.

Today, I lost some friends. I learned that apparently becoming different, means that some people aren't happy to be in my company anymore.

And I cried for a while talking to my mom, who thank goodness was off from work today to comfort me. And after sitting around feeling sorry for myself for a little while, I figured out something. I have real friends that don't make me feel this way. They make me feel beautiful on my worst day. I'm so so thankful for those real friends I have and my family.

The real friends I'm talking about were meant to be my family. God just knew we'd need each other later on instead of right off the bat.

And my mom and I tried to put Ricky's grill together for Father's Day, and when Tony  came out to look at it, he quickly fixed all our mistakes. What is it with Guys and being able to put things together, and we just can't? But anyways after 2 more hours Bubba was finally satisfied with his work. And Ricky loves it, too!

So, over all I ended up having a decent day with my family. :)
Tomorrow, we celebrate Tony's 19th birthday. :) I'm excited to make his cake! :)

"And so i go where the green grass grows, the weeds are high and the sun hangs low. Look to the sky and I say, hello, Like it's the very first time. It doesn't matter how long it's been. I can talk to God like he's my best friend. Take my heart and lay it down again right there, in a dirt road prayer."

This is country music, and we do.

I would have to say the Thursday night was one of the best nights I've had this year. I went to the CMA Fest with Kaitlin, her grandad and Danielle. 

We had an incredible line up. Glen Campbell kicked off the show and it was really depressing because he has the early stages of Alzheimer's and after every song he thought he was done. But, he still put on a good show to be his age and his condition. Next was Miranda Lambert. And I love her. She's badass and redneck in the best way. Gunpowder and Lead was by far her best song she performed. It was empowering. :) And, Jason Aldean brought out the real hicks in the crowd when started off with Hick Town. I screamed like a fan girl the whole time he was on stage. lol She's country was my favorite performance of his though.

Lady Antebellum was next, and they were really good too. :) 

And then along came Zac Brown Band. They sound almost exactly the same as they do recorded, but the instruments sound better because they get to play around and stuff. Between America the Beautiful and The Devil Went Down to Georgia, I got goosebumps all over and teared up. They are by far the best I've seen live. And in the end of No Hurry when he says "And get right with the Lord" And pretty much everyone pointed up to the sky, it was so awesome! I can't begin to describe how happy I felt. 

After them, Mr. Brad Paisley came out, who I also love. And the title of this post is a lyric from his song Country Music. Which was my favorite performance from him.

And after all of that, and the All for the Hall concert is also making my decision about this. I've decided that country music fans really are the best. I listen to all different kinds of music. From Jason Mraz to Nickelback. Granted I've only been to two non country music concerts, but I still think that country fans are the most supportive and I feel like the country music business is less dog-eat-dog than the rest of the music industry, but that's just my opinion. :)

I don't like production.

Dear men across the road clearing out the forest for the water lines, you suck.
Seriously, we came back from the mountains, and BOOM no more trees across the road. WHAT?! Apparently you need a ridiculous amount of clear land for water lines. Well you know what? No one on this road is even getting the water lines because it is expensive.
And you know what else? It sounds like little animals hopes and dreams are being grind-ed away with everything they do over there. It is SO loud.
I honestly couldn't even sit on the porch and read like I usually do. Nor could I go to my happy place for peace and quiet.
I live in the country for a reason, I like peace and quiet. I do not like trees being torn down.
They should be done pretty soon though, and then it'll be back to quiet. Though with less trees, and thus less little animals to see.
Which is pretty depressing.
But on a bright note, I've decided to start putting quotes at the end of my blogs.
