Moving forward

Well, this weekend has been crazy. We had Kacey's brother and his wife in town. It was great to be around them and see our little nieces. We don't get to see them that often, so to have them here in Illinois was wonderful. If you read through the last post, you know that the Great Grandma was in town also. Anyway, it was a subdued weekend that is now over.

One quick story that might be of some humor. Kacey is a huge Dave Matthews Band fan. We didn't go to the concert last year due to some events that precluded us from going. I surprised her this year and got tickets without her knowing. I arranged the babysitter and took her to Alpine Valley for the concert. Well, we both realized that this was something better left in the past. The concert was filled with pot and alcohol. To the point that the guy in front of us threw up all over the seats and people in front of him. While the concert music was good, it was a different environment than we are used to. Well, I guess Maddie does spit up quite a bit, so I guess not that uncommon. Anyway, we looked at each other half way through the concert and realized that we would probably enjoy ourselves much more with a glass of wine somewhere or just a simple night at home with Maddie. We realized that life is wonderful, it is just different than it used to be. Different priorities, different meaning in life. I guess it is time to move forward and leave the past in the past. Though I have to say, it was really funny to watch this guy throw up on everyone. Since it wasn't me, I really found some enjoyment in that instant. Good Night!
