April 2017+ Boston, MA + GoPro
Wednesday, January 3
I got a Go Pro a year ago from a friend. I said I was going to use it when I travel since its so easy to record. This thing has not been the easiest to figure out.
Here are some pictures of Creep and I at HARVARD and around Boston Fengual Park (SP) using the Go Pro.

4. Workout at least 1x a week. Failed
5. Go to at least 2x concerts. I went to the Great Xscape Tour. There was so many people there it should count as more than one concert. I almost got to a Snoop Dogg concert so the effort was there.

Snapback Saturday+ 2010
Saturday, December 30
I think this is from the first time JMN & I went to visit Jasmine in New Orleans.
Day 10950 Weekend Celebration
Monday, December 25
In August I messaged some of my bestest friends and asked if they would like to do something for my 30th birthday. Initially I wanted to go to a state park somewhere and camp. We looked all over LA& TX at state parks air bnbs and just couldnt find anything that wasnt super expensive or super far away, since none of my friends live in the same city. NONE OF THEM. Anywho We were going to settle on a cabin at Darbonne State park when I decided to look at Air bnb one more time. Then I found this amazing house . Click here to see the house.
All i wanted to do is hang out with my friends. Eat, drink, and watch movies. Thats its . Simple and fun weekend. I made everyone shirts and wrote them a card about hoe much a appreciate each one of them and why.
Since everyone lives in different places everyone came in at different times. Creep came first, she lives in Austin so she came the night before and spent the night with her mammaw who I share a birthday with :) So I met her at Mommaws house and we went headed to the celebration. Once we got there we met with the owner who showed us around and gave us some tips for the town. We went to Walmart to grab food and back to the house to chill until JMN came to get Cucs . Creep made spaghetti with turkey sausage and garlice bread. DELICIOUS.
The next person to get there was Misti who was coming from Dallas. She immediatley wanted to cook for tomorrow. She stayed for a couple hours then went to her grandparents for the night. Then Laquita came ! I share a birthday with her mom so i wasnt sure when exactly she was coming, but I was excited when I opened the door. Last but not least the late night commutor Mindy came. She is actually in a wedding the day of my birthday.
Unfortunately Jasmine couldnt make it due to a death in the family.
That night we watched Columbiana, Creep made a fire !!!! and we ate chocolate chip pecan pie.
It was literally the best night I've had in months.

The Great Xscape Tour+ December 2017+ Bossier City, LA
Monday, December 18
For a graudation present to myself JMN & I went to see the Great Xscape Tour. Ogrinally I was going to this concert with my friend and her friends but I did not act quickly as I needed to for all of us to sit together. Im working on not always being the person to say yes or get things done.
THIS SHOW WAS MORE THAN I COULD ASK FOR.
I knew Tamar Braxton was on the tour but I wasnt sure if she was on every date. But little did I know, there was June's Diary, Zonnique, MONICA, Tamar and Xscape. I dont think you know the type of excitement I had. Truth be told I have never listened to anything from June's Diary but I do know they exist in this world. I have listened to a couple of things from Zonnique but watching her perform made me want to listen to more.
I have never seen Tamar in concert and her voice is SOOOOOOOO Powerful! She is so entertaining. I saw Monica a couple years ago in BR. SHE IS AMAZING.
XSCAPE was the greatest performance Ive seen in a years! Their set took me back to a little kid sining in my gma living room. I love it. I wish they would have performed more of their songs but hey 50 mins is alot for REAL singers. I am just grateful to be in the arena with shuch talent.
Check out some these clips.
