You're Mississippi and I'm Oregon

THIS WEEKEND WAS PROBABLY THE BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE.
Whoah.
Saturday night I went to Oklahoma City with my honey boo boo child to see MAT KEARNEY!!! AHHHHHH. Talk about amazing and a half. I mean, when Mat Kearney jumps off the stage and makes his way to YOU... that's something. I would like to think I fulfilled a large portion of my dreams in that moment.
It was an amazing night before that, though.
We started the night off at our favorite Mickey D's... where we are VERY loyal McGriddlers... and the nice manager gave us our food for free! CHICKEN NUGGETS FO FREE?! YES PLEASE. AAAAAND now you get apple dippers AND fries with yo kids meals, which is like... hittin' the jackpot in itself.
Here we are with our Shamrock Shake!! Kaia had never had one and she love-a-doved it.
So, alas, we were on our journey to see Mat!!! We shuffled the ole iPod for most of the drive and I think the passer-bys thought we were just about crazy with a side of nuts! We almost got hit by a handful of Semis on the drive there... which was terrifying. BBK drives a tiny little crossfire and no one can ever see us!!
We finally made it safely to the show around 7:30... where we enjoyed Graham Colton, Robert Francis, and yes... Mat Kearney.
Can I just tell you the most amazing part of all, though? About 1/3 in to his set, Mat comes walking down into the audience... RIGHT OVER TO KAIA AND ME. Mind you, we are like 20 people deep... but he wiggled his way RIGHT OVER TO US. It was probably one of the best moments of my life. I mean... besides the time Taylor Hanson sang "Lets get it on" to me... but that's another story that I will fabricate at a later date.
The show was outstanding. The set was amazing. I danced, I cried, I sang.... and mostly I was in awe of all of the talent in the room. LOVE ME SOME M.K. <3
After the show, we drove to Norman for a night of slumber partyingwith Seanie Boo!! It is always nice to be with people you love... and Sean is definitely a chart topper. We have been friends for six years now... which is just CRAZY to me!!! I love this kid.
After a long night of fish tacos and snuggling, we set our sights back toward Tulsie-town... but not before we stopped at this incredible little sanny shop called "Pickleman's".
Here is BBK showing off her delicious chipolte chicken sanny.
LOVE THIS NAPKIN DISPENSER.
Enjoying my sanny. MMMM. Asiago Chicken!! I also had the tomato bisque... it was to die for!
Continuing the journey... with GOOD & PLENTY. Fun fact #923: I LOVE BLACK LICORICE. Omm Nomm Nomm.
As the road trip came to an end... I could only think one thing... "Matt Nathanson is going to have to wine and dine me next Sunday to top my Mat Kearney experience". Yeah, two Mat(t)s in a month? I think this might be the best month of all time.
Mad Love.
