B-12...Bingo!

Not exactly! I got my B12 shot yesterday and this stuff is AMAZING. I feel so good. It gives me so much energy. Just the right amount of energy I needed so that I could make a post to my blog because I know my people are just biting their nails waiting on what randomness I have coming next. Not much! I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my very first nephew and getting very excited. But first of all I am going to Nashville and I am leaving in 14 days! How exciting! The days are dwindling down. Before I know it, it is going to be June 5th at 5:15 and I am boarding a plane out of the Monroe Airport! Actually that is exactly 2 weeks from tomorrow.
I hate to share horrible news but I ask all my blog readers to please pray for the Altick Family. They need God's strength and need to be wrapped in His love.

I am so sorry no pictures this post....again!

Until next time.....wave your red, white, andblue!

Much love,

2 Tomatoes?

Oh what fun that one can have when you don't feel well and your brain isn't functioning properly! The sweet gentleman at Pie Works...bless his heart and mine too! I was craving a pizza...not just any pizza. I wanted Pie Works. Well I didn't know they had a drive thru and plus I just wanted to go inside because I really didn't know what I was going to order. Well I knew but didn't know what it was called. Well anyway I go up there to order and I tell the nice gentleman that I wanted a "3 cheese and 2 tomatoe pizza". Little did I know it was not supposed to be said like that and the gentleman told me that they put more than just 2 tomatoes on the pizza. It took my brain a few seconds to register what he said and we laughed so hard. I wish I had a picture of the pizza because it did have more than 2 tomatoes on it! I told him I thought it was blog worthy and here is was!

Sorry I don't have any pictures today. I am very excited about tonight though! I am going to try and get some awesome pictures on here from today! We had a very exciting day at work today. The guys and gals on motorcycles that are doing the Run For The Wall in Washington...it was amazing! Very touching. They are doing this for such an awesome cause.

Hey you people! If you are reading my blog please don't be scared to leave me a comment! I like to hear what you have to say about it. To be honest with you I believe (here you go again!) I love that word...sorry. Ok anyway I believe that I work hard on this thing! Just let me know what YOU think!

Until next time....Please continue to wave your Red, white, and Blue!!!

Much Love,

Erin

Yawning!

Hello! I know I am late tonight! Just a little sleepy too so it is going to be short. It has been such a long day! I will post pics tomorrow or something like that! My brother graduated college today at ULM. Afterwards we went to a friend's house and ate crawfish and they were so good. Just getting ready to keep yawing and eventually fall asleep! I had to post some serious randomness tonight! I took this picture at Swampstock some years back and thought it was the funniest thing ever and I learned that day that LSU Tiger fans will do just about whatever it takes to listen to their beloved Tigers play football! He was watching the LSU Tigers play on his portable TV. It was awesome! I do have to admit I did ask him the score...I just had to he was right behind me!

This wonderful little thing is my home normally the night before the big show. Just ask my sister Katie....she knows! lol! We have so much fun. By the way for Tim McGraw fans he did announce Swampstock for this year to be held on Saturday, September 13th! Very excited!

I leave you with a great picture of Tim saying Goodnight! Actually I am one of those fans that he recognizes because I am just such a huge fan and I am in Rayville every year for Swampstock for the past 11 years. Well this is when he saw me when he first came on stage. He knew the Fan Club had reserved seats in the very front!

I am going to get in my bed now because I am just rambling. I will get back with you tomorrow and maybe post some of the graduation pictures. Everyone have sweet dreams!

Much love,

Erin

P.S. Mo/Mel if you are reading this tonight I am missing my baby! Tell Miss Ellie I said hello!

It's Friday!!!!! TGIF!

I chose pink today! Not sure why but maybe it will look good in the background. I have failed all my readers in letting them in on a "little" big secret! I AM GOING TO........NASHVILLE!!!! I am so excited! My wonderful cousin called me a couple of months ago and said let's go. I said where and she said Nashville! I will never forget it either. I was at the drive thru at Fox's Pizza on Highway 165 and nearly had a heart attack I got so excited. You see I love country music in case you haven't noticed...

For those of you that don't know who that is it is Mr. Tim McGraw! Well before I know it I was at the office of my Personal Travel Agent, Dr. Gray Stephens. By the way he is my wonderful uncle. He knows everything about traveling! He's awesome! I walked out with my plane ticket confirmation and I even knew where I was going to sit on the plane! All of my flights! Monroe to Atlanta and Atlanta to Nashville and all the way back! On Friday night we are planning on seeing...

Faith Hill

Carrie Underwood

Miranda Lambert

Josh Turner

I am not a big fan of Josh Turner but Miranda Lambert.....guys if you see her....LOOKOUT!!!! Just listen to some of her songs and you will know why! We hope to be going to some of the hotspots around Nashville too! Like.....

Nashville Night Life

Country Music Hall of Fae

Ryman Auditorium

Mother Church of Country Music...Grand Ole Opry

We are planning on seeing a lot and know we will have a great time! Oh this is my sweet cousin Anna Beth.... I would feel terrible if I did not include Steven in my blog because he is loaning us girls his wonderful home for the weekend! That is AB's most excellent boyfriend! Note to Steven: I haven't even met you and I am talking wonderful! lol! I hear great things!

I believe that is it for now...until tomorrow!

Until next time....Keep waving your Red, White, and Blue!!!

Love,

Erin

Almost Friday!!!

Good Morning! It is almost Friday gang! Remember me telling you about a sweet angel Jake Raborn....well today is the day I go all out to tell you about him. Jake was a 5 year old from West Monroe, La. that passed away from cancer. By the way no child should ever have to suffer and we will find a cure one day. That is another blog for another day. Anyway a lot happened in the year that he passed away and his precious mother and father put together a foundation in his honor called the Jake Owen Raborn Foundation. I am a huge beliver. His aunt Melanie Groves is actually the one that inspired me to do a blog! Another shout out! I love you Mo! There is a fundraiser held every year to benefit the Jake Owen Raborn Foundation called the Shake 4 Jake. This year it is going to be on June 28th! Everyone come out for a great cause and lots of fun!

There is nothing much going on except for American Idol last night! I am so glad that David Cook is in the finale but very upset for Syesha. There are other pictures that I need to share with you and I hope Mo does not mind because I actually kinda sorta stole them but I have to share the precious babies with you. There is a pic of Maddi (Jake's sister) and Ellie Sue (Jake's cousin/Mo's daughter)

There is also a great picture of Staci (Jake's incredible mother) and Maddi (Jake's most precious sister)

Hunter and Hayden please don't get upset with me...there are plenty more posts and I will make sure I get ya'll in there!

Until next time.....I need to share some Tim McGraw with you next time! I know you can't wait!

Keep waving your red, white & blue and always BELIEVE!

Love,

Erin
