Jack Town Adventures (PICTURE HEAVY)

This past weekend I was out of town. Hence the Lack of blogging and running that occurred. However, lots of drinking, music, shopping, eating, helping my mom, & best friend time DID happen!

The Hubs had 2 shows this weekend in the Jackson area one on Friday night at the Irish Frog in Clinton and the other at Burgers & Blues in Ridgland on Sunday afternoon. Since I am from the Jackson area my family and friends are wonderful and love to come hang out with us at these shows. Here's a little recap from the Friday Night show:

PS. The Irish Frog & The Froghead Grill are NOT in the same location. We realized this after I almost bet money against my bestie Haley. Thank GOD she wouldn't bet me because I would have so lost.

Sporting the *NEW* Chad Knight T-shirts!

We are in love with each other.

Seriously, if we didn't like men...well we'd be in a domestic partnership.

Notice I don't have any pictures of the hubs playing from this night. Whoops. I did however score a Video that will be on YouTube soon. Check out his other videos here: WATCH CHAD KNIGHT

After the show we went to my moms to stay for the night and the next morning we had to get up and help her with a garage sale. Let me give you a little background on this: My mother recently moved in with my gran because she is a HOARDER. Seriously, A&E missed out on this jewel of a woman. She is fantastic but she loves to buy things. Absolute JUNK actually. Her house is clean but rooms are filled with things and we agree that she hasn't thrown anything away since the 1970's. (I'm not joking) So, my mom moved in to help her get rid of things and get her house in order like it should be. Gran can't be there during this transformation because she can't let these things go. She would sit there and say, "I can use that don't get rid of it" and "It makes me happy I want to keep it." HOARDER ALERT. My mom has been working her tail off on this and it was time for me to come help so, Saturday morning we got up at 5am to set up for the garage sale. It went really well and we sold a lot (of junk) I seriously can't believe the things that people will buy. We made a lot of progress with the house and I'm going to go back up this weekend to help her with another BIG garage sale. (I wasn't kidding when I say her house is FULL of stuff. We could probably have 10 garage sales and still not get rid of all of it.)

Saturday afternoon consisted of shopping (looking for new running shoes!) and movies and dinner with Haley & Josh. Lets come up with a couple name for them! How about: Hosh. hahaha Chad and Josh have this man love thing going on and Haley and I love it. It's been the first time she hasn't dated a total dumb ass and we all love each other and getting to hang out which makes things way more fun.

We watched this:

Which was super fantastic

-----------------------------------------

Sunday we woke up early again to try and continue the garage sale but people don't go on Sundays. So, another 5am morning and then a glorious nap that afternoon. Naps are a wonderful thing.

After the nap we woke up to go shopping and I decided on my new running shoes! I took some photos today for you guys:

Bam! In yo face!

 Nike LunarFly +2

I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but they felt so good on I decided to go ahead and get them. I took them for a test run today and 2.10 miles later I am VERY happy with my choice. It's like running on air. Now, I just need to get the Nike Chip for my I-touch and I'll be cool. (FINALLY)

Then it was time for Chad's show at Burgers & Blues

My moma & I (Twins I tell ya)

I swear we have more clothes we were just rockin the new T's ON SALE NOW!

More awesome friends that came to support!

It was a pretty fantastic weekend but I am dead tired; However, I have decided I have the best friend in the world and an amazing hubs how freaking lucky am I!

HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?

WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST THING YOU HAVE DRANK BEER OUT OF?

We pick you!

This weekend was an absolute blast! 

- Part 1-

It started out like this:

My MOH Haley & friend Amanda picked me up at 6:30pm Thursday and we headed to the "shore house" Gulf Shores, AL that is. As soon as I got off work at 5 that day I had a few beers...hey they were cold & I was READY.

It may have been the most enjoyable car ride ever.

They also got me this:

Yes, I have NO shame & I wore it ALL weekend.

Thursday Night we got to the shore house which is a MANSION btw & Nicole & Katie were waiting on us. We ended up staying up ALL night because we are CRAY CRAY and decided to tell scare stories and frighten the ever living shit out of ourselves. Nicole who does like sleeping with others could not sleep alone so Haley & I joined her in the master suite for a whopping 3.5 hours of sleep. EPIC FAIL.

After our amazing  night sleep Friday was WONDERFUL! I was dragging and somehow forgot to eat Thursday Night and we had to go to the spa at 11 for a day of massages and pedicures. (WHO has the BEST friends in the world! MEEEE) Haley & I got finished at 2ish and I was about to pass out or punch someone if I didn't eat. When I don't eat I get that faint feeling and irritable like no other. However, since I was fully relaxed and more happy than ever there was no anger just faint sickness setting in. We ended up shopping a little and then finally getting some french fries and a grill cheese at a little sugar shack thing. Not the kind of filling healthy food I wanted BUT that bread did the trick and I was alive.

I wanted to take a nap so bad but when Haley & I crawled in bed there was no sleep for me. Boo.

Later that night everyone got to the house: Katie, Nicole, Amanda, Haley, Laura, Andrea, & Katelyn.

We went out to PAPA ROCCO'S my FAVORITE Italian in Alabama.

The following are a few pictures I snapped of this adventure. Andrea has the good ones I'll be posting when I get them - she is the professional:

Some of the group waiting our 45 min wait out for a table..that was really 4.5 mins. Gotta love it when that happens!

They must have found out we are VIP

Group shot minus Katelyn she didn't get into town until later that night

& Now for some of my favorite crazy pictures:

These older gentlemen bought us shot after shot and of course had to tell me a little marriage advice... ugh thanks?!

Marriage counseling (and apparently the FI and I are getting married on this guys birthday)

Shot # 38237821074835???

And then the rest of the night was a blurrrrr....

Blog part 2 of the Bachelorette weekend will come later. It was just TOO much fun for 1 post to handle!

WORKOUT: 47mins on the Elliptical 3.6miles & 15 mins on the Bike 2.8 miles - Monkey Bars & then arms
