Guess Dad was right!

It's no secret to those of you who know me that I love country music. My all-time favorite country music group was "The Wilkinsons." My close friends and family know who they are...other than that, it is very likely that you have never heard of them. They had 2 cd's that were pretty popular...and then the next few were kind of not as popular. haha. Well, long story short...I became a huge fan of the group after I met them at Fan-Fair in Nashville many years ago. I was in love with Tyler Wilkinson...even got a pic of just him and I. My dad had it blown up to poster size and it decorated my room for many years. 


For a long time, Dad and I have always argued over who was better...the Wilkinson's or George Jones. Clearly, I chose the wrong group. How do I know this? Well, considering the fact that George Jones is a country music legend that I'm almost positive EVERYONE has heard of...that is how I know. It became very clear tonight when I was flipping through the channels on tv and came across a special on GMC...it was the OPRY and it was a special night because it was George Jones' birthday and country stars were doing a tribute to him singing only his songs. It occurred to me that the Wilkinson's have not been on the Opry for many years. So, I have to say... Dad was right. George Jones is clearly the better singer. :) 


Well, you may all be wondering how Gabe is doing. Well, last week he weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces. He has to be close to 8 pounds by now. He's getting so big! He is still not sleeping well at night...but I'm confident that one day he will catch on. :) This past weekend we had a wedding... and I must say, he was the cutest lil guy there! He had a little tux onesie that made him look very, very handsome! 


Tomorrow I am starting weight watchers. It's time to get down to business... the Marine Corps ball is in exactly one month and I'm determined to lose more weight to fit into my dress....and I also want to do some shopping that weekend too. So, it's time to get serious! :) 


That's about it for now friends! Gabe is sleeping...so I need to get some sleep while he does. It's all about sleeping when you can!
