Anything But Gray

is all that is keeping me from meeting J….

A little history….

J and I met online, on a Bon Jovi message board, to be exact.
Now back when we met….it was still a little "weird" to say you were friends with someone online…..I know it's hard to imagine that, but really it USED to be that way….and we instantly felt a connection, there was an instant bond with us. And both of us felt a little weirded out by it….LOL  A little scared, even.
But we figured as long as we didn't call each other, we'd be okay….

That lasted a couple weeks, at best.

And ever since then we have been very close friends. She is one of my best friends. She is my friend that I consider my soulmate….I know I was meant to meet this woman.  Anyway, we have made plans over the years to meet in person and for one reason or another, they always fall through. Living in Alaska for almost all of our friendship, has not helped matters any….

One of the perks of moving back home was that I would get to meet J.
Well, we had a plan last summer for me to go there and beause of money….we just couldn't swing it.
I was heartbroken…again.

Mariah is perfoming on the Today Show Summer Concert series at the end of the summer. August 28th. J is telling me how she wants to go…so I start thinking well, me too!! LOL  I mean come on, Mariah for free?? I am so there! And I'm thinking a ticket to NYC from Boston can't be that much….so I start looking some stuff up and J and I talk and look some more stuff up and then I talk to Zak…

So now we have another plan.
And I know J is going to be heisitant to be excited about it, as we have been here a million times before.
But I don't have quite the defense that she has….she's a bit tougher than me, in that regard.
I am BEYOND excited….

I get to see J..meet her, watch her talk…look at her mannerisms….her expressions….her eyes when she laughs…
I get to meet her son. I cannot wait to hold this little boy that she struggled so hard to have. It makes my heart happy just imaging it….
I get to meet her husband.
I get to meet her dogs. Shelby and Kenzi…
AND as if this wasn't enough…..there is more.
My family is coming.
She gets to meet the loves of my life….the things I am most proud of…..and she WANTS TO…she is happy they are coming..SHE actually is the one who suggested they come…..THAT makes me so beyond words happy!!

AND…oh yes, there's more!

WE'RE GOING TO SEE MARIAH CAREY ON THE TODAY SHOW SUMMER CONCERT SERIES!!!!!

aarrrggghhhhhhh!!!!
 
Could this BE any more AMAZING???

I have never gottten to see Mariah in concert….I have never been to New York City….I have never gotten to meet J….Jaime has never gotten to see a concert and J says to me "Can't Jaime come with us?" I. FREAKIN'. LOVE. THIS. WOMAN. !!!!!!  I was talking about how Zak and the kids can go do something while J and I go to the concert….well J wasn't having any of that. LOL And OF COURSE I want Jaime to go! She is so going to love going to that!! And I am going to love taking her to her first concert…WITH J and her son, Drew.

I don't know if I'm going to make until then….I think I am going to die of excitement before I even GET there!

If you are the wishing or praying type….would you please, please, PLEASE…say a prayer, make a wish that this works out! We have done this so many times…..and although I'm excited…I know a lot can happen between now and then, so I need all the wishes/prayers I can get.

I so want to meet her. I so want to meet her son. I so want to see Mariah—FOR FREE!!!–I so want to see NYC…..I want this so bad. We have done nothing "big" since we have been here. Wait….the circus. Mom took us to the circus…but that is the only really big thing we have done…..we, as a family, so need this…

Pray and wish, baby!!!!
Pray and wish!
