Whats up hicks?? So I heard this new song a few weeks ago and I love it so so so much!! Youtube it right now!! Its called "Even if it breaks your heart" by The Eli Young Band.. Look it up!! It is my #1 favorite song right now, followed closely by Barefoot Blue Jean Night!! :D
So I'm sure when you think of redneck, or hick, or hillbilly.. you don't think of us! We're sophisticated and smart and have sofa free front yards.. but when you compare us (solon/minong) to any other people.. we're kinda redneck!
Last night we were all sitting around watching this new show, "Redneck Vacation". Its about this redneck family from Louisianan that takes a month long vacation to the Hamptons!!Obviously they stand out! And its funny to watch them at first, but the more we watched the more we started seeing similarities between us and these rednecks.
When we have people come up from the cities.. we ride four wheelers around our yard, we ride horses into the garage, we pull people behind speed boats, we shoot guns and bows, we have dead animals hanging out our walls, and fish on frozen lakes in -20 temperatures.. and to us that all seems like completely sophisticated things to do.. but to some people that have never done it before, its completely redneck!
So believe it or not.. we are total redneck country folk! Whether we drive a big green turd with no heat down the road, take horses through the drive through, use four wheelers as much as cars and think mud is the high light of spring.. we all love our way of life and wouldn't choose to have it any other way!

The Moment When You Freak
Hey guys! So you know what I realized today? That before every GREAT moment, there is a moment when you just freak. When all the worlds stress suddenly lands on your shoulders. The amount of stress blinds you in a sense. Your blind to whats going on. Your sense of reason is completely gone and you fall apart!
Its like the calm before the storm. Maybe its because sometimes great things are hard to wrap our minds around. We are so used to things NOT going out way, that when they do, its hard for our subconscious to grasp it. Or maybe we are so desperate to have something we want to go right, that the stress of it not going right finds us. Maybe we want to control the outcome so bad, that the fact we can't, is just to much for us.
I am so extremely excited for this concert. I even had a dream last night that I was at a BS concert.. So I am really excited about. But I think that I am so excited for it, that I am on the brink of a melt down. So many things can go wrong yet. There is still so much time in between now and the concert. I feel like I am walking on egg shells until the concert. I am in total tears even as I write this. So much can change in these next few days and I just want to do what ever it takes for everyone to be happy and for everything to go right.
Great things happen and great memories are made, but its only great because of the situations it had to rise above. There are no great moments with out a few not so great moments here and there. So when we have our not so great moments, its okay. We learn from them and move on..
Lets just all be happy.. please.

Jason Aldean + Luke Bryan + Lauren Alaina = My Kinda Party
I would like to take a moment and get some "Thank You's" in order. So let me tell you what went on Friday night...
I get done posting my blog about how much my music means to me. As everyone knows, it is very important to me. So I click publish, close my computer and go up stairs, where the Harris's had just arrived! Mikayla, Eli, Logan and I sit down at the table to play a game of cards when my mom walks up with four envelopes and says "I have something for you guys!" She hands us each an envelope. Now so many thoughts ran through my head. Anything could have been in those envelopes.. but there wasn't anything in those envelopes..
On each envelope was as sticky note. Mikayla read hers.
"In one week..."
Eli read his.
"we will be..."
Logan read his.
"In a..."
And I read mine.
"Double Tree in Minneapolis, MN."
Now the only other times I have ever stayed in a Double Tree hotel is when we had to go to Dad's doctor appointments in Madison. So my first thought was that we were going to Madison. (Why that makes any sense, I don't know) But then my mom has us open them.
As ironic as it is.. we each pulled out a ticket to the Jason Aldean My Kinda Party tour!!
Mikaylas reaction was no surprise as she made her "uninterested but cool" reaction, Eli wasn't sure what was going on, Logan read it wrong and thought we were going to see Disney On Ice, and I started crying! (snapshot) We are all SUPER exited to go, even though we had different reactions! Lauren Alaina (Runner up in Idol 10) is opening!! Its literally going to be NON stop party! I have Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan set on repeat!!
I have been dreaming of seeing this tour since I found out they were touring back in October! I actually found out they were touring when I saw an ad DURING a Sugarland concert! Crazy, I know!
So anyway, I would would like to Thank my Mom and Dad and Dave and Carol for getting us these tickets! This means more than you know! Thank you!
Its gonna be "My Kinda Party"!!!
