Count down to Van Halen!

In 6 days we are heading back to the AAC to see Van Halen in concert. It's a far cry from the Barry Manilow show we just went to, don't you think? Ha! We love concerts. In fact, just yesterday morning I purchased my 31st birthday present - Celine Dion tickets!! She's coming to Dallas on January 5, 2009 and for some reason the tickets went on sale yesterday morning. I wanted to go ahead and buy them in case they sold out between now and then. I was fortunate enough to see her the last time she was in Dallas, about 9 years ago. That was at Reunion Arena..probably the last time I've been there. Nick's mother asked him a couple of weeks ago if he wanted to go see The Police in April as a birthday gift...um, heck yeah!! I don't know if she bought the tickets or not, but if so that will be really awesome. It's been a concert kind of year so far.

I found a black dress for the wedding. I actually found 2...so I bought them both. I'm going to have a little fashion show and see which one Nick likes best, and then I'll return the other. I already know which one I like the best so it might not matter which one he likes, but I'm still going to listen to his input. I'm just glad I was able to find something; it was getting down to crunch time and I was getting a little worried that I might be running to every mall in Fort Worth this week to find a dress.

This coming weekend Nick is planning on playing golf with a buddy - which means I have the house to myself and I can do some scrapbooking. I'm so glad - it's been a little while since I got to create anything and I was starting to have withdrawals. Besides, I'm on a self-imposed spending freeze and I have to complete 75 lay-outs before I can buy any new scrpabook supplies. So far I've only done 10. I need o get busy!!
