Well the State Fair is finally over and we had so much fun. Our last concert was this past Saturday night and Billy Currington was awesome. He sang all my favorite songs including, People are Crazy and Good Directions. His stage was the coolest so far with stairs and lights that flashed different things related to each song he sang. My favorite part was when he brought his bog on stage, so cute. The only bad part was that there were smoke machines going which made my pictures come out a little weird. But that's only a minor thing. Ashton and I can't wait till next year so that we can go see some more concerts at the fair.
So my Fair concerts have continued (3 of 4) and Wednesday night we went to see Jason Michael Carroll. It was the best so far because of our seats. We could see so well and walk right up to the stage area to get photos, Ashton even got to shake Jason's hand. She was thrilled :) We had so much fun and holy cow can he sing the low notes it was crazy how low his voice got. My favorite moment was when he brought up a little girl from the audience, she was so cute in her cow girl hat.
Jason sang one of my all time favorite songs, Alyssa Lies, it makes me cry every time. He also sang, Livin' Our Love song, Meet me in the Barn, and I can Sleep when I'm Dead. I had so much fun and tonight we get to see Billy Currington :) I will let you know how it goes. Here are some more pictures, and yes that is him signing a boot (lol).
Wow what a couple of nights I have had.... Two nights ago I went to the Scotty McCreery concert at the North Carolina State Fair with my two best friends, Ashton and Dennys. We had so much fun the concert was my second of four that I am going to and it was sold out. It was crazy seeing all the people at Dorton Arena it was completely packed, I wish you could have seen all the young teenagers there screaming, it was so funny. They were so excited to see Scotty and what I found the most was that while I was not screaming I was just as excited as they were :)
Scotty was a great performer, one of my favorite parts was when he called a "lucky" fan onto the stage. It turned out that it was rigged and the girl's boyfriend was waiting to propose to her. It was so sweet, and really cool to see, she of course said yes. Then there were all my favorite songs like, I Love You this Big, The Trouble with Girls and Water Tower Town. Here are some of the pictures I got. By the way if you get a chance check out Scotty's new Christmas album he sang two songs from it at the concert and they were really good my favorite was Christmas in Heaven.
This video is from the NC State fair but I did not take it, it's from YouTube. The user who posted it is Scotty Streett and they have some good posts check them out.
Saturday was my friends baby shower, and we had so much fun. Shania was recently married and this is her first child; it's going to be a boy. Shania and her husband Derick got some really good presents for Cameron and they had some really fun games to play as well. We played four games total but my favorite was the candy in the diaper to look like poop, LOL, I won the prize for this one when I got 4 out of the 6 candy's. My other favorite, believe it or not was tasting baby food, Ashton won this one she got all of them right. We had a really good time.
A few weeks ago as the baby shower came closer I had asked Shania if there was anything I could make to bring. Shania had no preference so I decided to make Buckeyes. If you do not know what a buckeye is, it's kind of like a homemade Reese's Cup. They are so good and very easy to make, although Ashton will tell you differently :) she did not like rolling them into little balls. Here is the link to the recipe I use, it is a Toll House recipe, Toll House Buckeye Candy. I hope you like them.
The North Carolina State Fair started this past Thursday and I have been waiting my turn to go. This year I am going a couple of times because I am going to all of the country concerts with my friends Ashton and yes Dennys (we talked him into going to the Scotty concert). Last night was the first of four concerts. We went to see Jake Owen, he was excellent and while I do not know a lot of his songs I knew a few and really liked some of his newer ones. Jake Owen is on his first headline tour right now, you can check out his website for tour dates. His new song Pass a Beer was my favorite but I also really liked Heaven.
Jake Owen was really awesome on stage he brought up some of the NC State football team and announced that they had beat his favorite team Florida State. There was a ton of cheering, it was awesome especially since I am a Wolf Pack Fan :) He also brought a little girl on stage and danced with her and gave her a few freebies, she was very cute and the whole thing was just a sweet as it could be. I can't wait to go to the other concerts.
Last night I went to see Pitch Perfect with my friend Ashton, and it was so good. The movie is about a cappella groups competing to be the best. The main actors are Anna Kendrick who you might recognize from Twilight and Skylar Astin who I did not recognize, but who was awesome none the less. The movie is really funny and there is also a little love story in it which I was not expecting. Also, not to give anything away but The Breakfast Club plays a role in the movie which was great, I love that movie and its theme song. I really can't wait to own this movie and who knows I might just have to go see it again :) Just an FYI don't have a heavy meal before you go see this movie, you might regret it. One of the girls in it throws up and it's pretty gross.
5 out of 5 stars
Good Girl's night out movie
Would definitely go see it again.
