I finally have a moment to sit down and write a post. Things have been so busy and hectic that finding a few moments to write something seems virtually impossible! I did get to scrapbook a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to get out and get some pages done! This weekend was my older daughters birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Girly Girl :o) She is the BIG 10! She had a sleepover with her girlfriends. There were 10 girls in all. Good times, good times. Then Sunday was her actual birthday and we celebrated with my parents. Then last night was the High School Musical Concert. It was me, my daughter, my next door neighbor, her daughter, one of the girls friend, and another little girl from their class and her mother. So all of us went to dinner and headed downtown for the concert. Jordan Pruitt opened for HSM but we missed it since we were stuck in traffic. It was a sold out concert. Our seats were not the best, but not the worst either. We were in front of the stage up a ways. The girls absolutely loved it, they squealed, bounced around and were just flat out ecstatic. One of the main characters was not there since he is filming Hairspray with John Travolta, but the fill in was pretty amazing and the girls were goo goo over him. My daughters favorite is Vanessa Hutchings and most of the other girls adore Ashley Tisdale.
The songs were great, all of them from HSM and Ashley had a few of her own from her new album, Vanessa had a couple from her album and Corbin had a few from his, so an hour and a half of screaming, ecstatic girls. My idea of a great night out! :o) We finally made it home around 11. Oh, and the most exciting part... there is going to be a High School Musical 2 coming out this Summer... LUCKY LUCKY us!!! The girls are so excited they are already talking about going to see it. More Getch'a Getch'a Getch'a Head In the Game to come! You know, the saddest part of it... I LIKE the songs and Kelly and I were singing the songs along with the other 20,000 people in the arena! :o) Yeah, I admit it, I like the songs and think that the movie really is pretty great, especially for kids!
*Sigh* That was me admitting I enjoyed the concert :o) I enjoyed the one on one time I got with our daughter and my hubby got out of going to a concert with 20,000 screaming little kids! Hubby did take the day off so that he would be home in time for us to leave. It was nice to just have some time off with him. It is not very often that we just get to be alone. All the kids were in school and him and I got to do some running around without having to worry about the kids. We are trying to get stuff prepared for when we go to Minnesota. We are all still planning on going so we have a lot to do before we go. It is not too far off and hopefully we will get some answers for our daughter.
I am also planning on going to Korea. My mom and brother are going to go this year and my mom really wants me to go too. My mom's dad is still there and is getting up there in age and cannot make a 14 hour flight here so he wants us to come to him. I have never met him and would love to go there and meet him. I would also just love to go back to Korea. It has been 13 years since I have been there and I really want to experience it all again. I loved it when I went as a teenager and think that I would appreciate it more now that I am an adult. We are planning on 2 weeks, I am not sure I will stay a full 2 weeks but I definitely want to go for at least a week. All of our kiddos will be in school so it will just be before and after school that I have to worry about. I wish that all of us could go, I would love for our kiddos to experience something like this but unfortunately it is not in our budget. I would also love for my hubby to be able to go, to be there to experience my heritage with me. But he is the one that is going to be taking care of the kids! Plus, I would worry about him starving since he will not touch any of the Korean food! :o)
Ok, well it is time for me to get up and about since all my kiddos are in school. Hope all is well with everyone!
