Hey y’all!

 

Right now, I’m obsessed with…

 

Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate mix…

Every year around the holidays I hope I will find this, and finally last week I did!

The Vintage Pearl Christmas ornaments…

I want ALL of them!

 

Pretty Little Liars…

I started watching it on Netflix last weekend when I was sick, and I am HOOKED!

 

this cute picture of Colby and Little Bit…

These two adore each other!

 

the cutest kitty ever…

He’s been sooooo snuggly the last couple of weeks. I love it!

 

What are you obsessing over?



We always have the BEST desserts! I usually make a chocolate pecan pie, and Momma makes her life-changing (no, really!) brownies! Good stuff!

Hey y’all!

 

So the CMAs were pretty fantastic! I loved getting to watch and tweet with so many of y’all! I could write a ginormous post about the show, but so I don’t bore y’all too much, I’m going to give you my top 10 favorite moments from the show!!

 

 

10. Jason Aldean/Luke Bryan/Eric Church

I’m not a fan of Luke or Eric, but I really enjoyed their performance with Jason. It’s a great song!

 

9. Kelly Clarkson & Vince Gill duet

I think I was most looking forward to this performance! I’ve loved Kelly since American Idol, and I’ve wanted her to do country music for awhile! She and Vince sounded great together. You should go download their song “Don’t Rush” asap. Good stuff!

 

8. The Band Perry debuted their new song “Better Dig Two”

Ooh, I looooove these guys! I am so excited for their new record!

 

7. Carrie Underwood’s performance of “Blown Away”

I love her. She’s the best. What else is there to say? :)

 

6. Tribute to Willie Nelson

Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw all did fantastic performances of Willie’s songs. It was wonderful!

 

5. Carrie’s gorgeous dresses

I always look forward to seeing what Carrie’s dresses will look like! This year they were all really pretty! Her red carpet dress, her gold top/white bottom dress, and her flowered tulle dress were my favorites!

 

4. Carrie and Brad’s opening monologue 

Brad and Carrie make such a great team! Their monologues are always fun, and I loved their Gangnam Style dance :)

 

3. Blake Shelton’s Entertainer of the Year win

I am so ridiculously happy for Blake! He’s been working so hard for such a long time, and I’m glad to see him being so successful. Since he started doing The Voice, he has introduced country music to a whole new audience, and I’m proud to be a fan! Plus, he’s from Oklahoma, so I kinda love him :)

 

2. Blake and Miranda’s Song of the Year win

I definitely got teary when Miranda and Blake won song of the year for “Over You”. They wrote it about Blake’s brother who died in a car accident when Blake was a teenager. You could tell it meant so much to them to win for such a personal song. So happy for them!

 

1. Little Big Town winning their first CMA awards ever!

 

 

I LOVE Little Big Town! I’ve been a fan of theirs for a really really long time, and I’m so happy to see them finally recognized for how talented they are. Their excitement was so wonderful and I might have gotten a little teary.

I think this look between Jimi and Karen is priceless!

 

So…what did y’all think about the show? What were your favorite parts?



Y’all know I love country music, so what’s better to watch than a show about country music? I have been HOOKED since the first episode. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season goes! Loving the music too!

 

Movie: Easy A

 

Song: currently “Sober” by Little Big Town

Have a great Thursday!

Hey y’all!

 

I have been SO excited to write this post!!

 

If you missed last Thursday’s post, I went to the Carrie Underwood concert with Lori! It was a great show, and we had a wonderful time!

 

Sorry for the watermarks on the pictures, but someone was wanting to use my pictures for their blog, and I’m not really cool with that!

 

I adore this girl! I love having a great friend that loves country music as much as I do!

Hunter Hayes was the opening act. He was actually pretty good. I like the couple of songs I’ve heard on the radio, and he was pretty good live.

It’s Carrie!!!

She opened with “Good Girl”, and then went into “Undo It” and “Wasted”.

She also sang “Two Black Cadillacs”, “I Told You So”, “Last Name”, and “Cowboy Casanova”!

“Temporary Home” and “Jesus Take the Wheel” seriously brought me to tears! I love both of those beautiful songs!

Randy Jackson from American Idol was there! He called a girl up from the audience to perform for a chance to audition in front of the Idol judges in November! She was really good, and I can’t wait to see if she makes it on the show!

She floated above the crowd on this stage for several songs!

She sang “Get Out of This Town”, “Nobody Ever Told You”, “Thank God for Hometowns”, “Crazy Dreams”, and “Do You Think About Me”!

“One Way Ticket”

Hunter joined her for “Leave Love Alone”

“Remind Me”

She had a virtual Brad Paisley sing with her! Finally, I got to see Brad…sorta :)

“Before He Cheats”

“I Know You Won’t”-It’s not one of my favorite songs on the album, but seeing it live is pretty awesome! She has such an amazing voice!

She ended the show with “Blown Away”!

 

It was a great night! It was so much fun hanging out with Lori and hearing great country music! This is the third time I’ve seen Carrie, two concerts and once at the Grand Ole Opry, and she just keeps getting better and better!



Wasn’t it cute??

 

A few others I loved… 

Mermaid!

 

I would be the pink power ranger!

I think this is the only costume that I wanted but didn’t get to have. I loved her!

 

Again, I can’t pick just one! I LOVE dressing up for Halloween!

Last year-Toddlers & Tiaras!

Flo from Progressive Insurance

Ladybug! 

Pebbles Flinstone!

 

Tonight…

 

This girl and I…

 

are going to see this girl!

 

I’m pretty sure this guy is going to be there too…

 

and I CAN’T WAIT!

 

It’s been about three years since I’ve seen her, and I’m so excited! I LOVE the new album, and I can’t wait to see those songs live. I also can’t wait to hang out with Lori for the evening!

 

It’s gonna be great!



Hey y’all!

 

Hope y’all had a great weekend!

 

I got to spend most of mine at home with my family. Saturday morning, I headed down south to spend some time with Momma and Daddy and to celebrate Sweet P’s birthday! I can’t believe she’s a year old already!

 

She had a cupcake party! Everything was decorated SO CUTE! I wish I’d taken more pictures, but I do have a few to share!

She is the most beautiful baby ever!

She LOVED her cake!

Love her!

 

Momma and Daddy’s cat Hershey has become obsessed with playing with ponytail holders! He likes digging them out of the bathroom drawer and carrying them off!

He’s such a funny little guy!

 

Oreo and Daddy took a little nap on Saturday afternoon :)

 

I helped Momma in the bible class she teaches at church on Sunday. She brought her camera so I could take pictures of her with her kiddos, and while we were waiting, I got a little bored…

Oopsie…

 

After church, we went to eat Mexican food with Mom-mom and Grandaddy!

Sunday after church

Me with Carol, the fantastic person who has been doing my hair my entire life! She worked on a SUNDAY to squeeze me in so we could get rid of my trashy dark roots :) She’s awesome, and I just love her!

My new hair! I love the new brown, and I love the new layers! So much fun!

It looks soooooo much better!

 

Have a great week, y’all!



 

Cutest baby girl ever!

 

On to this week’s questions!

 

 

My faith, my family, and my friends

 

Cell phones, more specifically the iPhone. Mine seriously changed my life!

I think the secret to a good life is having a strong faith. I know that I could not have dealt with some of the difficult times in my life without God, and I’ve seen a lot of other people go through horrible things and still go on to lead happy lives because their faith got them through it.

I would most like to be remembered as a faithful Christian, a great friend, and a person who deeply cared for other people.

Graduating from college!

Reese Witherspoon! I love her!
