Blake Shelton Concert!!!!!!!!!!!

"Seriously I have to yield to this S##T" I say as I am driving my black Jeep onto I-5 after a delicious dinner of enchiladas and a blended pomegranate margarita!

It was six thirty and I knew we were going to get into key arena in about an hour. We get into a parking stall and start walking to the venue in a sea of plaid shirts and the most "Country" looking people Seattle has probably every seen. The three of us included of course. I am wearing the white dress I found just last week and loving how well I blend in with all the others. We find our seats fairly easily and start getting excited for all the fun that you can just feel is going to happen tonight.

Dia comes out first and though I find the sound system for her to be terrible because I can't understand a word she is singing I enjoy her performance with her dancing around the stage in her bare feet. She does her few songs and then they set up for Justin Moore. Ronni and I decide to go get a drink and as we are walking to the concessions I can feel guys checking me out. Which is flattering considering all the other beautiful people around us. As I am standing in line I am looking at some people's choice of clothing and am once again so thankful for my dress even if I did feel like I was showing too much cleavage for my comfort. We get back to our seats and that's when it happens. Justin Moore gets on stage and gives an AMAZING performance which leaves me screaming and knowing my voice will be gone in the morning.

Blake comes on and gives such a great performance filled with the best of his songs and all his Blake Shelton Humor to go with it. I remember that I just couldn't stop smiling and thinking how cool it was that I was here right now enjoying the show. I was definitely living in the moment the whole night! Then with maybe twenty minutes left to go in the show MIRANDA LAMBERT comes on stage and sings baggage claim. I was jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs!

The whole night was filled with lots of singing, screaming and dancing and I can honestly say it was the BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!! Even with the annoying guy behind us saying he wanted Justin Moore to come back during the whole show (The guy obviously doesn't know when to say I have had enough to drink) I had an amazing time and I am so happy that Ronni and Liz came out and shared the experience with me! I think I got home at 3 am so it was a long and amazing night.

Cheating On My Blog

Yes its true, I am cheating on my blog a little. I have decided to create a blog in wordpress to see if I find it any easier. Not that I do not think blogger is super easy to follow because I do, but if I am going to become a daily blogger I need to do the right thing for me. So I have created another blog based on my happiness project. I will re-post to this post to explain how I felt the process went.

Okay so here is my new blog site http://christinashappinessproject.wordpress.com/

There are a few things I am liking about wordpress:

1. There is a thing called zero to hero that walks you through the process
2. You get to see what the blog forms can look like and click on it and it transforms you blog to that style and if you like it you can then activate that style and if you don't like it you just click the x and keep looking
3. The dashboard is simple to look at and read

Here is what I wasn't the biggest fan of:

1. Setting up my blog was confusing at first
2. Took me awhile to figure out how to tag a post
3. You have to pay to change up your font and size of the text

So all in all I think that maybe it's not better or worse then blogger just different. I do think I will keep using it though for now and see if maybe I get more followers!

Chamomile Tea

One of my favorite things in life is having a hot cup of tea! It can be any kind honestly but at night I usually reach for Chamomile. Calm and Relaxing and a great companion while I am catching up on the blogs I follow.

Today was one of those days where I was able to do things but I felt very at peace with life. I wasn't in any hurry for anything and I managed to stay active while still enjoying my relaxing day!

It reminds me that life is what you make it and today I am so proud to say I made in enjoyable. This however is not always the case. Most days I can find a way to feel rushed or annoyed without a problem. I am trying to learn to just take a deep breath and take it all in before reacting. Be strong and dependable and someone who is not easily rattled. This is my goal.

Tonight I was searching through the happiness toolbox and came across a lady who had a blog she has just started this year. I am very excited to follow her progress and her posts bring a smile to my face. I have her on my blog roll on my happiness project blog (Christina's Happiness Project in the header)

Its 10:00 here and I just finished my evening yoga session. I think I shall curl up in bed and start reading my latest book Twelve by Twelve. Its one of four I am reading right now along with the audio book I listen to before I fall asleep each night. Good night everyone and I hope everyone wakes up to a peaceful Tuesday!

Do It, Don't Talk About Doing It

So I have started my mini challenge for March which is a test drive for myself to see how my happiness project may turn out. So I have been on the toolbox website a lot in the last few days and I have stumbled upon a lady who has the best commandment list I have read yet. Some of her commandments hit so close to home that I just knew I had to get them down on my blog.

• Do It, Don't TALK About Doing It- I am so famous of talking about the things I want to do but I never actually do them. This just screams at me "Hey Christina are you reading this? K good cause you need to start doing things you lazy ass!!! Maybe you should start by writing a post about it. At least that would be a step for you. But then Christina you need to actually go out and do something!!! Got it?? K GOOD"
• Do Challenging Tasks In Small Steps- All too often I have a great goal in mind but I want it to just happen and when it doesn't happen fast enough I get frustrated. So when I read this it just clicked. For everything I really want I should make a list of small steps that will help me achieve them.
• Growth Is The Key To Happiness- BINGO my first splendid truth for my happiness project had just slapped me in the face!! I think for the most part happiness is something you create for yourself. There are times when things can make you happy but for the most part its how you see a situation that makes it happy for you or not. But the more you understand other people and situations the easier it is for you to appreciate them and be happy because of it. In order to be happy I must grow in my knowledge of life!

So all I can say is thank you lady from Australia for waking me up and realizing how great of a life I have to live. I just have to go out there and live it now!

February Expenses

So I just went through all my expenses for February and compared them to my income and was shocked to find out that I am indeed spending less then I make. Not by much mind you but still I am. This was not what I expected. I thought for sure it was going to be way higher then my income so I was very happy. Now my goal is going to be to lower that number and make a huge gap in between those two numbers!!! I am really happy I decided to read your money or you life. I am finding it to be extremely helpful and cant wait to start graphing out my stuff!!!

Right Here Right Now

So tomorrow is March 1st and I get to go through all my final things to wrap up February. This includes the inventory of my spending that I have been keeping track of and then plotting it on a graph so I can watch my progress... I also get to start my mini challenge for my happiness project which is solely based on health because i feel like its just a subject that needs to be addressed now instead of in a year...

I feel like February got away from me a little and I want to once again jump back in the saddle and get going on the right track... The only major goal I have for March besides my mini challenge is to spend less then I did this month... I do believe that the tracking is helpful and I pray that by May first I will be moving into a nice apartment somewhere between Lynden and Ferndale... But as we all know only time will tell!!

Happy Me

I just did a few posts for my Simple.Minimalist.Christina blog and realized how happy I am that I have found these blogs as a way to get all the info I have been looking up into one place. Plus I find it funny how so me my blog is. Why is this you ask? Well let me tell you... I don't just have one blog but four total. Yep that's right four blogs I am keeping on top of right now. This is my main blog for my everyday thoughts and feelings and then I branch off to my other three because I like to have order and separation to things. And I love it! Keeps my thoughts organized and if I ever get anyone who wants to follow me they have the choice of following me for that certain topic or all of it... I do love giving people that option as well!
