Well....I'm back and I have a lot to say...but will blog more about it later. I will say this, after all these years...it was awesome. My ears are ringing, my throat is sore, I can hardly talk, my legs hurt, I have blisters on my feet, and I messed up one of my shoes dancing...BUT, it was so worth it. I'll be loving the NKOTB forever...my friend, Kelly Sasser, who went with me, has to be at school to teach tomorrow at 6:45 AM---nice!
In other news...we got back around 2 AM, and saw one of the old mills in Columbus burning...strange, guess we'll know more about that tomorrow.

Happy Halloween!
Gracie & Sophie playing in the corn
Here's our pumpkin...Mike named her Pumkinita.
Mike thinks by adding "ita" to the end of any name makes a great name.
So, with that being said...Have a safe and Happy Halloween! Love, Mercerita and Michaelita

West Jones Ave.
I was going through some old pictures tonight and found one of Mike's beloved old house...he likes to refer to it as West Jones...
Last December, we went to Savannah for the weekend and along the way stopped in Stateboro to visit Mike's old stomping ground. Well, this trip would not have been complete without a visit to "West Jones." I had heard so much about this house and my expectations were extremely high. When I realized we were about to be "in the hood," I started thinking this might not be a great idea...well, when we turned onto West Jones, Mike just started laughing, and I immediately locked the doors. He slowed down in front of this "house" (I certainly wouldn't call it a home), and I unlocked my door so I could get out and look around. He quickly tells me to be careful and not walk too far. This place, or should I say neighborhood was entirely shady. I couldn't not check the place out, but Mike would only let me walk near the mailbox. Mike is pretty sure the furniture that is on the porch was some of the same furniture he had in the house...now, keep in mind, it has been at least 10 year since Mike lived on West Jones Ave. I'll quit rambling, as the picture speaks for itself...

Weekend Update...
This weekend we went to the 50th Anniversary of Pacelli High School. Let's just say, we were some of the youngest people there. In fact, one of Mike's exes, is married to someone that is Mercer's mom's age. Nice, considering Mike is 35 and Mercer's mom is 57. We also visited with Mike's 5th grade teacher who loves Mike...Mike said he gave her hell, if so, she didn't act like it as she was so glad to see him!
Mike for some reason is speaking Japalish (Japanese and English)...why he is doing this, I have no clue...
We are kind of giddy right now as it is a "big TV week." We love Dirty Sexy Money...if you don't watch it-it's not too late to start. Meanwhile, I have spent the majority of the day watching QVC---cooking products and gadgets all day...Mike is so glad I don't have his credit card information...

Laura & Torrey's Engagement Party
(torrey & laura)
While I had to "behave" and be in bed by 11PM (I had to be up at 5:15 the next morning), Mike was getting in about that time. From the looks of the pictures, he had a great time at the after party. We also learned a lesson this weekend---sweater vests never go out of style!
(if you go to torrey's-you're going to play beer pong)
(glen, torrey, and mike---with their old friends bartles & james)
