OH MY GOSH!!!!

Today, I am soooooo excited!!! I went to work as usual and about 10 am I got an e mail from a lady that works up front.. well not just me but everybody in the office got the e mail and she had mentioned that She had concert tickets for tomorrow and couldn't go.. I was wide-eyed and was like ohhhh I wanna go so badly.. I've been "whining" to Robert about wanting to go so badly but we just didn't have the money to pay all those fees they tack on top of the concert tickets..

I had turned around and told Carol who sits in the cubicle next to me.. since she doesn't read her e mail that often like I do.. Carol got her cell phone and called her husband who said yeah she could get the tickets..I was disappointed but I knew we didn't have the money till Friday that was my main problem.. Concert on Thursday, Payday on Friday :(

Well I had already told the lady that I didn't have the money till Friday but I was sure that she would find a buyer.. well she did.. it was Carol.. So about 2 hours later she replied back telling me that her niece had 2 tickets to sell cause she also couldn't go to the concert but in a different area than the other 2 tickets.. but that She would pay her niece and when we got paid Friday that I could pay her.. of course I didn't feel right about that but I told her I wanted the tickets.. I didn't know if Robert would go with me but if he didn't then i'd find someone else to go with me!!

I found out that my tickets were FLOOR SEATS!! which meant that I was UP CLOSE not front row.. about mid way to towards the back somewhere in there.. but still on the floor!! while Carol is up in the balcony.. I kinda would've rather the balcony but that's ok... all that's important is that I'm going!!

I had Robert call me on his last break and I told him about the tickets and asked him if he would wanna go.. he sounded really excited and said yes sure!! this is gonna be our FIRST concert ever.. so it's gonna be neat that we get to share this experience together for the 1st time!!!

Now I know by now you're gonna be asking well who's playing in this concert!! well.. I'll tell ya... of course it's gonna be country singers.. it's Brad Paisley, Sara Evans, and Billy Currington...
Sara and Billy is opening up for Brad on this tour.. and I love ALL 3 of them.. Although Billy is fairly new to the country music but still he has good songs..

I will be posting about the concert this weekend maybe Friday nite or Saturday nite ane tell ya some stuff about it and hopefully we'll have some pictures to show .. Not sure if they'll allow cameras probably not but we'll see.. I REALLY REALLY REALLY CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! Just 24 more hours we'll be at the concert!!! hehehe....

How to call the police

Thanks to mom for this.. too funny....


HOW TO CALL THE POLICE

George Phillips of Meridian Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Are any of those people in your house" and he said no.
Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply stay in his house,lock his doors and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello I just called you few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all".

Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

(True Story) I LOVE IT...

Tammy Mantych

I wanted to wish my childhood best friend Tammy Mantych a Happy Birthday..

She doesn't know about this blog (as far as I know) She and I haven't gotten in touch with each other in about 10 years now.. but she and I used to live across the street from each other when I lived in Wendell NC..

Anyway, Tomorrow March 27th is her 31st birthday.. and so I wanted to say Happy Birthday!!


Tammy, hope you have a wonderful birthday and get everything you could ever imagine!!!

This is for David

As some of you who read my posts and know who I am.. know that Robert is not the 1st man who I've been married to... I was previously married to David..

David and I have been divorced for 4 years now since March 15th and he is now married to Linda for almost 4 years now.. But since I've talked to David once in a while in the last 4 years.. I know things that he has told me so I thought I'd post this song..

Please don't confuse that I am wanting him back.. I'm happily married to a wonderful man but thought if David EVER read this blog or post that he'd see this and know what has crossed my mind from time to time..


When I'm gone
By Billy Ray Cyrus

Well, it seems you thought it over
and you feel i'm not the one
and you think you might do better on your own.
You say lover's vows only hold you down
So I guessI'm moving on,
But what'll you think about me when I'm gone, said and done?

What will you think about me when I'm gone, said and done,
when old memories fall like footsteps.
Will you think it's me coming home?
well, i thought your eyes could see compromise,
But that's one thing you've never done.
What'll you think about me when I'm gone?

Will some other's kiss taste sweeter
or will my pictures haunt your room?
will it make your nights pass easier
Or will you think you were a fool
when my pillow's bare and you're lying there,
will a heartache linger on?
what'll you think about me when i'm gone?
what'll you think about me when i'm gone?


I won't deny that there are times I do think about the past and things that David and I did while we were together and like I've always told him.. he'll always have a special place in my heart because he and I had a past together.. and especially because we have a little angel that is up in heaven looking down at us waiting for us to come and hold her/him..

I just hope that he's happy with his marriage to linda and that he has everything he could ever dream of that he felt he couldnt' have with me.. Good Luck David and Linda..

Now that I found you

To Robert from your loving wife...


How can I believe
That my heart would find someone like you
You see me, the real me
No in betweens, I had nowhere to hide
You took away the walls around me
Made me feel safe to share my truth

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

I do believe we're meant to be
Our chemistry will last forever
And through the years
We'll see some tears
We'll conquer fears
And together we will grow
Look through your eyes
They tell me
I no longer have to be alone

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding Nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, You touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

You see me, The real me
You believe in me

I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
you hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you...

Robert.. This is true because you healed my broken heart the first time that we went out.. I thought nothing could heal me and take down the walls I had built around me but you proved me wrong.. and I hope that you never forget the love that I have for you because it'll last a lifetime..

Today

Today, mom, dad and I went to the Carver's and had a sunday's dinner there.. it was a pretty good meal.. we had Corned Beef Brisket, Beef Brisket, Corn, Green shellied beans, Potato salad, and french toast and tea and for dessert I had brought Chocolate German Cake (YUMMY) hehe...

We all just sat around chatted about different topics and it was really good.. although I was mad at myself cause I forgot the camera DANG IT!!! But next month I'll make sure we have pictures!!! :-)

I just was enjoying myself because I didn't even think about my usual Sunday stuff like Laundry , dreading the time of having to go back to work tomorrow, and other things that I gotta do every Sunday.. I just knew that Robert was at home doing laundry so I got a break on doing that well.. most of it at least..

I used to avoid having anything to do with family dinners.. and now I look forward to every chance we can to have a family dinner.. I just feel like now is the time to be with each other.. I've realized all the time that I've lost by not being close to my family.. so the last 4 years I've tried to do better and spend some time with them.. and I'm glad that I have..

No matter our differences... I know eventually I'll become much older and I just hope that the family dinners will always be there for us to get together and remember old memories and create new ones.. HINT HINT KIDS!!!

and something I realized everybody... 9 more months to christmas!!! LOL can't believe how fast time has flown this year already.. we're into the last week of March!!! SLOW DOWN TIME!!!!!

another thing i'm dreading.. although I get to be off this tuesday although I have already gotten plans for that day... I have to work this saturday!!! ok ok.. I shouldn't gripe about it cause I wasn't originally scheduled to work this coming Saturday.. I was scheduled for April 15th.. but I asked another lady at work if she'd switch with me so that way I could be off this tuesday...

BUT STILL!!! I dont' wanna work ANY saturdays... yes I know that I only have to work 1 Saturday every 3-4 months but still.. I HATE IT!!!

Ok.. I'm done griping... I hope you all enjoy the songs I've posted below this post... I have so many i wanted to post but decided not to :) but I will post more songs soon...

Grandpa Wynn

I was just a real young girl about the age of 11 years old.. my grandpa wynn (My dad's dad) passed away.. There were so many memories that I had of him that I can still remember things that he did and what he'd say to me..

I only got to go and visit my grandma and grandpa wynn about once every year or two.. we didn't see them as often as I did my granny and gramps but still any visit to grandparents are really special.. so I always looked forward to going to Ages Ky to see my grandparents..

I remember the winding roads taking us to the back roads to their country home and how the driveway was soo steep I'd always be scared going up thinking the car is gonna flip back over.. but it never did.. But the anticipation of seeing them was worth every mile we had to endure..

I remember my grandpa would always sit up on the hill near where he had his pig and horse and would just sit there between 2 huge trees and whittle on some sticks, woods whatever he could do and just sit there and watch the view.. He loved it and I could tell.. when we were there I'd sit there and talk to him.. what we talked about I really can't remember I just know I'd sit there and we'd talk.. sometimes we didn't talk just sit and watch the view..

I remember one time he had this brown jeep.. and he asked if Mary and I wanted to go to the store with him and my uncle.. Mary and I said ok.. and my grandma gave Mary and me I think it was just 1 dollar.. and told us NOT to tell grandpa that she gave us the money.. of course we said ok.. when we got to the store.. Grandpa gave us a dollar too and told us not to tell grandma hehe.. If i'm thinking right back then Mary and I were into buying those Archie Comic books.. and that's what we used.. we never did tell the other grandparent that the other gave us $$ hehe...

See.. My Grandpa Wynn was a coal miner for so many years and back then I really didn't realize the danger of this kind of work but that's all these men that lived in that area knew to do as far as work goes.. Grandpa wynn died of Black Lungs as a result of being a coal miner.. He was a coal miner for 50 years!!!

Grandpa died on March 28th.. I think in 1986 and I do remember going to his funeral.. and I remember a lot of what had happened the day before and the day of the funeral..and I am glad I am able to cherish the time I had with grandpa.. He just like my other gramps.. are the ones I felt that I could easily talk to.. and felt very connected to..

I know right now he's looking down and is proud of all his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.. I just am comfortable in knowing that he's up there taking care of my little angel till I can get up there and be with them all...

Grandpa.. I miss you very much and I love you...

I Give My Heart

here's a old song by John Berry.. he's also a country singer but he hasnt' been around in a while.. so while surfing song lyrics I also came across this one.. it's not a full version song but you'll get an idea of it..


John Berry
"I Give My Heart"


Before you call my name
I will be there by your side
When you're standing at the rivers edge
I will be the bridge you find
If you said, "Meet me now beyond the stars"
I'd pack my bags and go that far
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart

Keep it with you if you have to go
It will see you safely home
Wrap it round you like your favorite coat
When you're called out in a storm
If you lose faith in who you are
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart

When all that's left of me
All the words in this song
I know this love will carry on
With the street that only love commands
I give my heart...

Like I said this is not the full Version.. but I like this song because like for anyone.. I would do what I could to be there for the ones I love and those who I care not to see them hurt..

I Could Not Ask For More

This Song is by Sara Evans.. She is a very good singer and I was looking at Lyrics and came across this one and it is what I feel about Robert and our marriage.. so I wanna post this for Robert :-)


"I Could Not Ask For More"
By: Sara Evans


Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm Alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
and every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had has come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me

Yeah, These are the moments I thank God I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I Could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had has come true
yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, Yeah
No, I could not ask for more.


Robert is a wonderful person...Although he has his faults just like everyone else.. He is the most sweetest person in this world and I love him so much...we have our up and downs.. and no matter things that I say to him.. I never really mean the bad things I say because deep in my heart.. I love him and I never want to see him gone in my life...

Robert, I love you very much..

Like We Never Loved At All.....

This song isn't all that BRAND new but it's still fairly new.. I love the song and at one time I probably would've said I'd say this to the ones who I've been with in my life but now.. I'm happy where I am but this song does say a lot to those who have just recently broken up or something like that so I thought I'd post this song...


Artist/Band: Faith Hill
Lyrics for Song: Like We Never Loved at All
Lyrics for Album: Fireflies
With Tim McGraw

You never looked so good
as you did last night,underneath the city lights,
there walking with your friend,
laughing at the moon.
I swear you looked right through me.
But I’m still living with your goodbye,
and you’re just going on with your life.

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don’t you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

You, I hear you’re doing fine.
Seems like you’re doing well
as far as I can tell.
Time is leaving us behind,
(time – leaving us behind)
another week has passed
and still I haven’t laughed yet.
So tell me, what your secret is
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
to letting go, letting go like you did,
like you did.

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don’t you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion?
Oh, and did you ever miss me,
and long to kiss me?
Oh baby, baby.

Maybe that’s just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.


I have always loved any songs that Faith and Tim sings together.. They just have that chemistry between them.. as singers and husband and wife..

They will be in concert in Knoxville next month and I'm sure they will be giving a wonderful concert.. Everyone is in for a wonderful show!!!

Our Day Yesterday

Yesterday Robert was going to go out with his friend Clark who he works with, while I was gonna get some errands done etc. but we all ended up meeting up at the Flea Market at the Expo center so I was kinda shocked to find that my sweet ol' man had brought the camera and he called out my name and when I was turning he got my pic.. I was surprised all right here is the picture of that...

















Then after walking around.. we finally met up with Clark who went on his own to look around while Robert and I went on our own.. Clark saw this place that sells pet stuff.. Clark has a dog who he loves dearly and wanted to buy something for him.. and while we were there .. this lady had 2 little chichuchua dogs in a "purse" kinda thing.. one looked to be about 6-9 months old maybe..and another was just a TINY baby!!! and of course Robert took out the trusty ol' camera and took a picture of Clark and the baby ...















After the flea market.. Clark, Robert and I went to Golden Corral to eat.. after that I was gonna go home while Robert and Clark went out... But plans changed when Clark said he needed to go home and practice some songs as he's in a band and they're gonna be in chicago playing at an event so he needed to practice the new songs.. so Robert and I came home.. After I knew whatever plans my parents had I decided to go out with Robert to this place that is supposedly haunted.. see Robert loves ghost stories and haunted places etc. and he has been hounding me for a long time about wanting to go and see this house.. so finally I said ya know why we don't go since Clark couldn't go so he said ok with a big smile.. we used his new Navigational thing on his cell phone which took us from home to this place.. Now mind you i don't mind scary movies etc. if it's during the day.. but at night times NO WAY and I sure ain't about to get out of the car at a supposedly haunted house nu huh no way!! so I stayed in the car while Robert took some pictures.. so I thought I'd post a couple of pics here of this place....

















After seeing this house Robert and I went to Wal Mart in Oak Ridge.. I was really wanting to see what flowers/plants they had etc. then I only ended up buying some shampoo and we left and came home.. we had a long day!! so last night after being online for a short time.. I got off and went into the bedroom and laid down and watched tv... Saturday Night Event Wresting was on NBC so I watched the last hour of it then watched Law and Order SVU and finally just gave up and went to sleep...

This is about what we did all day... it was relaxing and it was nice.. I just can't wait for nice warm spring days.. although I do NOT look forward to summer hot days UGH!!!!!!!!

Finally Posting

Finally back on to post something.. Although there's been some things that has happend the last few weeks but I just don't know what to post here mmm... it'll all come to me soon enough....

I mentioned earlier in another post that I've been sick.. well Robert and I are FINALLY over being sick thankfully.. although some of my other family members have not been that lucky.. Mom and Dad has been sick with the Flu, Mary (my sister) has been sick with bronchitis, Justin had the sinus infection , Ryan was sick also.. So hopefully now everyone is getting better..

The weather last weekend was just wonderful just like a warm spring day.. but the weather has tricked us and we're now back down to the 50's during the days and into the nights we're down in the 30's.. I was hoping we were gonna get some warm weather.. But not yet at least.. Maybe next weekend we'll get something warmer.. I decided not to do anything with our flower bed this spring but hopefully in the fall I can plant some stuff to grow for the following year.. Fingers crossed for that :-)

Even though this is a small thing.. but I'm excited about it.. Friday Night Robert and I finally found the mailbox we were wanting to use to replace the mailbox we have now.. we had been looking at quite a few stores around here and never could find it till finally we went to Lowe's and we were able to find it there.. I went ahead and bought it and hopefully it'll be put in soon hehe..

We're still wanting to put new shutters on the house and the fencing but we will do that all in due time.... still got a ways to go to get it all saved up :-)

I got a couple of pics to show so i'm gonna close this post for now and start a new one so u guys can see what we have taken some pictures...
