Saturday morning, I got up ridiculously early and headed home for the Halloween party and the Kris Allen/Lifehouse concert. Right as I was pulling into town, I got a call from Jessica, who got a call from one of our “sources” saying that his friend was going to be taking Lifehouse to lunch and then to Walmart. Our stalker instincts kicked in, and we decided to try to find them. Small Town, Oklahoma is, well, small, so we only had a few options.
Jessica picked me up at my house. We grabbed our stalker music…

…and we had a pretty cute stalker buddy!

Jessica taught him to say “Hi, it’s nice to meet you” so he’d be ready when we found the band! :)
After driving all over town a couple of times, we were out of luck. We got a call from our “source” that the band ended up going to another town. We were a bit disappointed that we didn’t find them, but we still had fun! How many people in Small Town can say they stalked a band?
Saturday night, after a quick stop at the Halloween party, I headed to Jessica’s house to meet her and Kacey.

Kacey cannot be serious for more than one picture at a time!

Seriously…

Love these girls so much!

Kris Allen!

He was pretty fantastic! We were super excited to see him!

Our seats were near the back of the events center, so Kacey and I went down front to take pictures of Kris. And yes, girls, he is super hot in person. Too bad he’s married!

He closed his set with “Come Together” by the Beatles! It was awesome!

Lifehouse

We stayed long enough to hear them play “You and Me” and “Hanging by a Moment”. They were great!

Hey y’all! Hope you all had a great Halloween weekend! I’ve got a couple of different posts about the weekend, so I’ll start with the costume fun!

I went home for the weekend so that I could go to our church’s Halloween party. Since the concert was Saturday night, I could only stay for a bit, but here are some of the pictures from the party!

I went as Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials!

A guy from church has called me Flo since the very first time I wore a headband to church.

My Momma and me!

Momma and Daddy

Simone is German, and she came as a German cartoon character. I have no idea who she was, but she looked cute!

The witches!

The party was fun, and I do wish that I’d been able to stay longer, but instead, I went to see Kris Allen and Lifehouse! Look for that post later today or tomorrow!

Hey y’all! It’s finally Friday! Sorry for being a little MIA this week. I haven’t been feeling great, and this week has been a little stressful. 5:00 cannot come fast enough today!
I’m so excited for the weekend! I think it’s gonna be a great one!
Tonight, I’m meeting up with Teddie to do some early Christmas shopping. I’m also hoping I might be able to find some of these.

I’m getting up super early Saturday morning to go home for our church Halloween party. I have a different costume picked out than the one I mentioned a few weeks ago, so I’ll share pictures after the party!
A few pictures from last year’s party…

Mom-mom, Momma, and me

After a quick stop at the party, I’m going with my bestie to see Kris Allen and Lifehouse!


I’m pretty excited about the weekend! Can’t wait to hear about all of your Halloween weekends!

This weekend was super busy! Friday night, I got to babysit two of my favorite kiddos! We had such a great time playing games and painting pumpkins.

I got to snuggle with their kitty.
Her name is Girl. Seriously.
She’s precious!

Saturday, I got to sleep in late and cuddle with this little guy!

Saturday evening, my cousin Emily was in her university’s pageant. She has been competing in pageants for several months, but this was the first time I was able to go. It was a lot of fun! I haven’t gotten a new camera yet, so iPhone pictures are all I have.

 
Opening number to “Fame”

Waiting for her on-stage question.
She’s on the far right.

 
Answering her question. She did great!

For talent, she played piano.

 
It was awesome!

Evening gown-she’s in the white.
Couldn’t get a good picture of her alone.

The out-going queen and out-going teen queen danced together to “For Good” from Wicked. Really pretty!

 
The out-going queen’s boyfriend proposed on stage! It was so sweet!

Taking her final walk

 
Time for crowning! Waiting to hear!

 
Emily got 2nd runner-up!
Not bad for a freshman!
Wish I had a better picture.

 
All the contestants together after the pageant

This was supposed to be a top 5 picture. Not sure why the extra girl on the right is in there. Maybe she couldn’t accept that she lost! Hmm..

So proud of her!

Cousins!

 
Emily and her momma

I spent all day Sunday in bed with a migraine. Hopefully the hangover from that won’t be too bad today.Hope you all had a great weekend, and hope you have a happy Monday!

So, I recorded a video drawing the winner of the giveaway and YouTube won’t process it! It said that it successfully uploaded it and it is processing, but after like 45 minutes, still nothing. It was only a 1 minute video. Definitely shouldn’t have taken that long.

Oh well. It’s probably best anyway. I’ve been in bed with a migraine all day and I look disgusting! I would probably lose followers if I posted that.

Ok, now I’ll stop stalling and announce the winner. The winner is…

Congratulations, girlie! I think I have your mailing address, so if you’ll just comment, email, or tweet me what color you want in the flowered headband-black, white, or gray, I’ll get this stuff to you as soon as I can!

Thanks to everyone who entered, and thanks to everyone for following! Y’all are awesome!

Beth’s topic today on Friday Fives is if she were coming to visit, what would we do, eat, and where would we go. I went a little over five, but there are some great things to do in OKC!

You can’t come visit OKC without going to Bricktown. There is so much to do!

We would definitely go to Zio’s for some awesome Italian food!

or maybe to go Abuelo’s for Mexican food instead!

We would go to the soon-to-be-renamed Ford Center and either…

…go to a concert…

…or see an OKC Thunder game!

We could maybe go see a Redhawks game at the Bricktown Ballpark.

I think one place that must be visited is the Oklahoma Ciy Bombing Memorial.

“We come here to remember those who were killed,
those who survived and those changed forever.
May all who leave her know the impact of violence.
May this memorial offer comfort,
strength, peace, hope and serenity.”

We would also visit the Oklahoma City zoo!

Maybe we would see cute little guys like these!

Can’t forget about shopping!!

What fun things are there to do in your town? Link up with Beth’s Friday Fives and share with us!

Also, the giveaway ends tomorrow, y’all! Hurry and get entered here!
