orange peel 2008

this weekend i made the trek to stillwater for orange peel. it was the first time i had really seen amelia since she moved back. i got to see her cute new house and then we headed to gallagher.
we didn't get there for the start of the show since amelia and i both had to work. when we arrived at the arena, kelly pickler was just finishing her set and then motion city soundtrack came out. both artists did a great job, but everyone was anxiously awaiting sugarland. this was by far the best orange peel. other years there were a couple of good artists, but the show always had places were it would drag. that was not the case this year.
i don't think i have yet come down from the excitement we had at the concert. sugarland puts on a great show. jennifer is adorable! and she and kristian have so much chemistry. the entire crowd was very into the show, and you can tell that the band has a great time and really cares about their fans. amelia and i have already said that we will definitely have to make it to another of their shows.
on saturday, travis and i spent most of the day together running errands around tulsa and just driving around. we both did not want to spend another day couped up in the apartment. we eventually found our way to muskogee where we picked up my breakfast table and chairs. we originally had not planned to use a table in our apartment since it's much smaller than our last one; we were just going to use the bar. we both have grown weary of just sitting on the couch, though, and we were looking at the space we have and felt like we could accomodate a small table.
we went by the lears where we spent most of our time with amanda. everyone was at the house. dee was cooking and steve was waiting to go to work that evening. we had fun catching up with amanda. usually we see her for a moment or two before she's out the door or we're headed back to tulsa.
we waited around town a bit longer waiting for justin to get off work. we met him and lindsay at red lobster for dinner. everyone has been a little upset that we haven't had much time together lately. we had fun and dinner was good, but everyone at the restaurant, especially our waiter, all seemed to be having a bad night. we also had to hurry because justin and lindsay had told everyone to meet to ride. travis stayed in town to ride with them, and i went back to the house to visit with my mom. i stuck around for a few hours, and she and i both vented. i wish now that we had spent our time together in a more pleasant manner since our time together is so limited, but i think it's good that we both had someone to talk to. travis got home late last night (but really only about an hour after i did). he carried the table and chairs up and i helped get them into the house. neither of us slept very well tonight. we fell asleep talking and i think it left a lot on both of our minds.
today travis has to work all day long. i slept in a little after he left since i didn't sleep much last night. now i'm doing little chores around the house to make sure everything is ready for the new week. my plan is to come up with several proofs of justin and lindsay's save the date cards so that we can get those sent out, hopefully by next weekend.
