oh what a night

i think i might be getting old.  matter of fact, i know i am.  here's why.  i was up until 4am, and i didn't even have anything to drink.  i honestly cannot remember the last time i would have voluntarily stayed up that late without any liquor. 

San Francisco was fantastic.  it will have a blog update all of it's own...for now, i'm giving you the top 5 songs that kept me awake on my 10pm to 4am drive home from Denver airport.  yeah, it was crazy.

#5- who i am, wade bowen  (jarod and i danced to this as our first dance at our wedding, ahhhh)

#3- missing you, Johnny Cooper (i could sing this for days) seriously

#2- Stay, Sugarland  (to entertain myself, i tried to re-create the video...facial expressions and all)

and here it is...i sang this song over and over and over...until my ipod died...it was kinda like singing in the shower...i thought i sounded pretty dang good...but we all know the truth!

#1- Go on my Child, Michelle Featherstone  (Beautiful!)

these songs were a life saver...among others...but these were definitely the top 5.  i also kept the air on very cold...blowing directly into my face...that was NO fun...but i desperately wanted to be home when Olivia woke up this morning.  Mission. Accomplished.

i left this on the desktop in case my lovelies missed me while i was enjoying San Francisco...but it goes for you all as well... :-)

an update...gasp!
