My insane life and times filled with teen drama, marital comedy and realizing that 600 miles away from my insane family still isn't far enough!

Carolina Music Awards
So we had our big moment of walking the red carpet at the Carolina Music Awards back on the 15th.
It was a little disappointing.
Okay, so first, it was like 98 degrees out. I looked fabulous in my black dress and my big, rock-star hair and after walking from the car to the pavilion, well, let's just say there was a BIG difference.
The red carpet was more like 2 red mats. The staging/photographing/interview area was chaotic and disorganized. We took it all in stride and were determined to just go and have fun. As a rock band, okay, so as the wife of said rock band's drummer, I was happy to just sit back and watch my husband shine.
An hour in the heat, and hour in a very cramped auditorium for an event that really should have been billed as a "hip hop" event, our category for best new rock band came up. Eight nominees for the North Carolina/South Carolina territory and the winner was...
I'm not going to lie to you, we were that rude group of people that got up and left after that. We went out for sushi, had a lot of laughs and now can officially say that we experienced and awards show.
Your gentle face and patient smile with sadness we recall, you had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. The voice is mute and stilled the heart that loved us well and true, ah, bitter was the trail to depart from one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one nor will you ever be as long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now. Our hearts are sore. As time goes by we miss you more, your loving smile, your gentle face. no one can fill your vacant place.
