Mostly Wordless Wednesday

 

I felt this in my soul. I don't lose them anymore like I did as a teen but man... all came rushing back when I saw this post!

The Weekend Report: SPOILER ALERT!! BOSTON

 It was a FULL weekend for Miss B and I...but SO SO FUN! Settle in for picture overload!

We kicked off Saturday with a trip to the mall! Miss B organized a dress shopping trip with her friends for 8th grade celebration. WE struck out in the dress department for Miss B but certainly not with the crew we had with us!!! SO FUN! We left them around 12 because Miss B and I had to be home by 1:00.

A couple of weeks ago Miss B mentioned on the couch that for "her trip" she wanted to see Anne Wilson. Miss B has sang 3-4 of her songs at church for special music and she just LOVES her! Fast forward to Thursday night and I was mindlessly scrolling on my phone and just thought... I should look to see where she's playing.... maybe Miss B and I could fly to ATL or somewhere to see her... just brainstorming.... and all of a sudden up on my phone came BOSTON....ON SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!

When Husband tucked me in I threw the idea at him and I slept on it.... Friday and work I waffled ALL DAY but saw there were train tixs available, concert tixs available and nixed spending the night so it would save some money....on Friday when I got home I talked to Husband and we decided to DO IT... WAY out of my comfort zone but I knew how HAPPY it would make Miss B! Minnie was gone to a LAX game so he and I told her we had to tell her something and then.... I cried. I was SO SO SO excited and happy... couldn't help it!!! Terrified... but happy. 

So at 2:24 we loaded the train and headed on our adventure!!! Backwards.... which was very weird and made my stomach feel a little "off"....but SOOOO worth it to NOT DRIVE!

We landed at 4:15 at North Station on the same day the Red Sox were playing and the Celtics were in town for GAME 7 of the playoffs vs. the 76's. And if you know Husband... you know Miss B was NOT rooting for the Celtics. Beantown was CRAZY!!!

We walked around a little bit... my stomach was a little woozy from the train and then Miss B found this restaurant on her phone for us to get some blue-hair dinner :) We were looking at it from the outside and I was concerned that it wasn't going to be good because it didn't look busy from the outside... but lemme TELL YOU as soon as we opened that door.... oh.m.goodness. It was RIGHT ROWDY inside and FULL of patrons! They had a bunch of TVs on with softball, Kentucky Derby coverage, Red Sox game, Celtics pre-game... it was a BLAST inside! Our food was yummy and all of a sudden it was time for our next adventure.... the UBER!!! I have NEVER taken an UBER before and had to put the app on my phone the night before...it worked GREAT but man we were nervous! :)

We arrived at Shubert Theatre to wait in line for the doors to open about 15 min early. A little God-Wink moment... our place in line was RIGHT next to the adorable black lab drug sniffing dog... who was "working" but Miss B and I got to watch him with his handler just sit and beg for treats! She was LOVING it!

Boots obvi!

The theater was BEAUTIFUL inside! We walked up the stairs to the mezzanine only to realize they were still doing a soundcheck so we couldn't get in to our seats yet.... so we walked back down to that huge crowd of people to stand in line for merch...

She made a perfect choice! Love her!

Husband helped us navigate the ticket purchasing situation....and our seats were so good! The theater only seats about 1600 people so there really wasn't a "BAD" seat in the house. Just a "little" annoying that we were the walking path and lots of people going in and out during the show....

See how pretty the theater is!

Boots obvi!

The chandelier was amazing!

and SO WAS ANNE WILSON!!!!! We loved every second of the concert but my very FAV PART was the video I took of Miss B belting out the words to every song!!!

We even made her insta-story!!! 

The UBER back to the train station was clean, quiet and the car was very nice... BUT the driver tried to drop us on some alley that was NOT our destination. So proud of Miss B...bringing her map right up on her phone and telling the lady... nope... take a left right here and sure enough.... there was the Garden!

My coworker suggested business class on the way home at the LEAST and I'm SO GLAD we did! The Celtics game got out as we were waiting for our train and they were drunk, angry, and loud!!! I mean... can't blame them... it was a sad loss but a WINNING NIGHT FOR MISS B! She refused to watch any of the 8 TV's in the station because she thought the Sixers would lose if she watched.... luckily there was a man standing at the bar that was giving her a play by play every time the Celtics would miss a shot! BAH!

We arrived home around 12:35AM and my girl was SOOOOO TIRED!! I was SO proud of both of us for stepping WAY out of our comfort zone because it was SO worth it! 

Miss B's First Meet

and we got to be HOME again!!! Hence the "boss babe" running the jav! Husband told someone at the meet... it's just better to put her in charge because she would just take over anyway... ha!

But the STAR of the show was Miss B! The weather was TERRIBLE (and we even thought it would get canceled) but girl pulled out a 1st place in the disc!!!

Unfortunately they started early so I missed the shot but she did AWESOME there as well and then finished with the 100m! Love these sweet girls!

Shortest track meet EVER for me... arrived at 4:06 and left at 5:15! My friend Katie sent me this selfie... she was jealous that I was texting her from my KITCHEN! HA!!

Another great day for my track gal!!!!

First HOME Meet 2026

Blue skies and being on our HOME track in MUCH better weather was NOT a bad place to hang on Tuesday afternoon!

 

I LOVE watching her throw things!

Always fun to have a FAN CLUB!

Husband was building the meet and needed a 3rd leg (Minnie's fav. leg) in the 4x100m... she happened to be sitting at the kitchen table and as I believe I've mentioned before... Summer Track is all about whatever the girls wanna do.... Varsity track is whatever DAD/COACH wants you to do... good thing she was willing and they ran a GREAT RACE! SOOOOO FUN!

She held blocks for her buds and moved onto shot...

With C-Line... love these two!!!

I LOVE this picture of little sister watching big sister because I KNOW she is coaching her in her head :) and in fact we all heard exactly what Minnie SHOULD have done as soon as she got to SIL L, Husband and I.... ha!

The softball team came to "help" read... walk around like someone kicked their cat....so snapped a pic of this queen to send to her Mama...

I don't know if it was the ibuprofen on board, the stretching, the weather, the home field, the assistant principal running the event, or the competition and comrade between Minnie and C-Line but my girl was BACK!!!

 

Getting ready for that final throw.... C-Line pulled off a GREAT last throw and Minnie was after her...

Not enough to catch C-Line 

but SO fun for these two! I love them!

Speaking of fan clubs! :) Nice to have a couple of cops there to watch you :) (Levi not pictured) and yes, it did END UP as COLD as he looks! Brrrr!!!!

Husband was happy with these results for SURE!

WHOOP WHOOP!
