Larry The Cable Guy


     Saturday night was one for the books! One more thing marked off my bucket list of shows I want to see. For Christmas, I bought tickets for my mom to see Larry the Cable Guy. Harris Cherokee Casino Event Center hosted his show this past Saturday. I was beyond blessed to get tickets to see him. I know if my dad was still alive today. This would've been something I would've done with him too.

    My mom has never got to really go out and do anything. There are so many first for her that I have checked off her list in the past 10 years. I was really afraid she would not be able to physically go into the center to watch the show. I didn't have the extra money to do valet parking so we parked in the parking deck. The walking distance from the parking deck to the event center is absolutely ridiculous for those who are physically impaired. 

    I would write the show a 10 out of a 10. Although the comedian is 62 he really knows how to get an audience laughing. I will forever remember this night because it's the first time I've seen my mom genuinely smile in years. My toddler got some good quality time with her dad and I was able to have an additional night of fun with my mom. I don't know how many more nights I will have with her as her health declines rapidly. She and I don't always see eye to eye, but I want to make things work for as long as she's alive. I would gladly sacrifice another night in order to see my mom enjoy herself.

    His opening act was a guy named Nick and honestly his show was just as good! I was very impressed with everything from the snacks and drinks available to seating. Every worker was beyond friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this event center for any of your upcoming entertainment options. His act wasn't necessarily kid friendly but that's why it was 21+ to get in. I will probably never get the opportunity to see him live again, so it was worth going out on a very cold not to see him. The ticket price however, was very over my budget. I'm so thankful I am able to make payments toward it.

Lists Again

        While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you.  #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man.  #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose.  #21. I will live somewhere far away from town.  #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life.  #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me.  #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned.         Context:         I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...

Lists Continued

 I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable.   #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past.      I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on.      I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...

Lists 2.0

 #40. Fly in a plane.  Check A+.       I did end up flying in a plane. The year I turned 30 was one of the best year's of my life so far. My best friend/ sister convinced me to go to the infamous Vegas. The four hour flight was breathtaking and I will forever remember the feeling of lifting off. I do not ever really want to fly again. We hit some MAJOR turbulence on the way home and I was frightened to the point I had a panic attack.      We enjoyed seven days of shows,  shopping, and exploring. We averaged over 15,000 steps a day and slept well at night. That was what life was like before children. My sister and I could take off with a moment's notice and go where ever. We took off to NYC to watch the ball drop one year. As it turns out it isn't an actual ball at all.  #45. Save a life.      Well, this one is really out there. Let me think...   I have saved a life but not like a you are thinking though. I go and...
