Amarillo

Last weekend in Amarillo was Homers Backyard Ball concert.  I’ve heard so many fun stories about it so I was excited to be going for the first time.  My mother also drove with us so she could watch B while we went to the concert.  I was over the moon to finally have the Amarillo girls meet Blakelyn. Friday night we decided to have a bar-b-q at Jose & Kelly’s house, it was good to visit and catch up. It just melted my heart that they loved Blakelyn!

Saturday was the Homer’s Backyard Ball concert and you would have thought it was the dust bowl from the 30’s, I guess that’s the Texas Panhandle for ya! We sat there drinking our dirty beer (literally), trying to have a good time. As evening came the wind finally calmed down & we were ready to get up & walk around. My friend Rachel’s husband had brought a horse mask, well Rachel decided to get into the wagon and wear it while Aaron pushed her around. Everyone thought it was hysterical and I loved hearing all the comments people were making.  Later that night I remember playing this repeating game about a frog and a pond. When it came around to my turn I know I messed up several times. I don’t think drinking and repeating a sentence go hand in hand! But I know we will try it again!

When Chad & I got back to the hotel we had to take a shower & get the dirty dirt off of us. I thought I would save water if I just got in the shower with him. Well bad mistake, I wanted under the water and when I tried to go beside Chad he had slipped and fell out of the shower taking the whole shower curtain with him. I was laughing so hard, because when people fall I laugh (don’t judge). He got back in the shower very quickly and I’m still laughing & then he says that I pushed him out. So I laughed even harder! I said “I didn’t push you out” I think he was just trying to say that I pushed him so it wouldn’t look like he just slipped and fell out. After I stopped laughing I asked him if he was ok because I did feel bad, he said his head hurt a little. So note to self: never take a shower with your husband when you’ve had a few beers someone could fall & bumb there head and take the shower curtain with them..

It’s always a blast with the girls and every time we get together my face is usually hurting the next day from laughing so hard or my head hurts from partying to hard. It usually takes my body about a week to recover after visiting them, but I wouldn’t change a thing! Some of the things we talk about are just crazy & off the wall but each one has a personality that I love! My favorite vacations have always been with the Amarillo girls, here is just a few of the places we have been together & I’m sure there are many more trips in our future! Wolfe Creek Colorado - skiing, Taos - skiing, Red River - white water rafting, Vegas, Floating the Guadalupe River, Clovis NM - visit Mandy, Oklahoma City next month to see NKOTB ( don’t judge us) and many times just getting together in Amarillo to see one another.  

I wish everyone could have friends like the ones I have. I don’t think I tell them enough how much they mean to me, but I truly care about them and I’m so grateful they are in my life. Love you all!
