Coldplay

We saw Coldplay in concert on Saturday night and it. was. awesome. You should go if you ever get the chance. Larkin has always been a huge fan so I give him all of the credit for making me one. I never knew that an entertainer could have so much energy. Chris Martin was unbelievable. We sat on the first row of the lower level so we were right above the floor seats. Coldplay made their way to the back towards the middle of the concert so they walked right in front of us on their way hence the close-up pic of Chris. AND Larkin got a high five as he walked by. So...yes, he touched his sweaty self and he will probably tell you that in the first five seconds of talking to him if you ask him about the concert... =) We had a blast and would go see them again in a heartbeat. Several of our good friends went so we all ate dinner together beforehand....it was a really fun night...and we have listened to Coldplay every day since then! =)

with Brad & Carroll Lane

with Brandt and Martha

We stayed with one of my bestest...Rachel. She, David & Drews were so kind to have us and we loved every minute although it wasn't quite long enough (never is =) Rach and I managed to grab a picture or two on Sunday afternoon before we headed back. And Drews, isn't he a doll!?!?!?!?!? =)

The rich & famous...

I have always been real "starstruck" so for those of you that are the same way...you will definitely enjoy this story...

Larkin and I took supper to an elderly couple in our neighborhood last night and as we were sitting there visiting Nashville came up in the conversation. Mrs. Preston started telling me how she still goes to the dentist up there (they lived there when they first got married). The last time she was there for her appt. she and her dentist (he's early 40's and his wife is a nurse at Baptist) were visiting and he said, "Well, Mrs. Preston, you will never believe who my wife is working for now.....she happened to be at the hospital when Nicole Kidman came in to have her baby and apparently they liked the way she did things so they asked if she would be interested in being their nanny....they hired her and one of the other nurses that helped them while they were there. One works a month while the other is off..."

So to say my mouth dropped when she told me that story was an understatment. She said they fly them on their private jet all of the time to their 4 houses. And of course that means if they are flying around the country with Nicole then they're flying around the country with...Keith Urban...my favorite singer e-v-e-r. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I told Mrs. Preston to put in a good word for me when she goes back to the dentist in August...just in case they may need another one sometime or something...you know. And yes, Katey, you can go with me when I go =)

I love stories like that...especially when you know someone...that knows someone...that works with the rich and famous!!

Graduation

Meg graduated from Oxford High School a few weeks ago so Larkin and I went to be a part of the big day! We so enjoyed getting to spend most of the day with her family. Meg & I lived in Hazlehurst when we were little and everybody use to think we were sisters. Just over the past few years have we "re-connected" and I have loved every minute of it. Congrats, Meg! =)

Beach

Lanny and me

me-Irene-Caroline

All of the girls on Mrs. Lanny's (Larkin's mom) side of the family went down to the beach a few weeks ago. We had a great time and were blessed with beautiful weather!! We were so thankful to have this time together. It seems like when the whole extended family is together it's always over a quick meal or something so we were glad to have 4 whole days!! It was great and I can't wait to do it again next year. AND I can't wait for many more hours of progressive rummy...just sayin...(fyi--i have a slight obsession)

the crew (excuse the eye-closer...only one i got =)

the best for last...Irene's little girl, Maddie, is geared up for the beach. Super cute!! =)
