March Madness

Okay I know we have a lot to catch up on so I'll just get to it!  First, we went to the Jimmy Buffett concert and had a great time!  It is certainly an experience.  And we are now going to the show in Tampa because it is on a Saturday and at an amphitheater so we'll  be able to enjoy the whole day tailgating in true JB form!

Although only 4 of us went to the concert lots of people came out to pre-party!

Next, I went to see Taylor Swift with the girls and we had a blast!  She puts on a really fun show.  Even though we were the oldest people there without children in tow...we had a great time!  All of her songs are so fun to sing along to!  And we can all totally relate to 17 year old break up songs right?!

 The girls at the show!

Then I got to hang out with my favorite pledge in the world!  I don't have a picture of her visit, but it was fun to see her while she was in town!  and we even went to a pottery painting place on Saturday night and brought some dinner and wine and painted some cute pieces!  Although when I went to go pick up my picture frame it looks like a 5 year old did it, but we still had a fun time!

Then the next week Kyle and I enjoyed a wonderful concert by Michael Buble'.  He truly has an amazing voice.  I could sit and listen to him sing for hours!

  That weekend we went to an Atlanta Braves Spring training game.  It was really fun.  The park is out at the Disney Wild World of Sports Complex and it was the first spring training game we'd ever been too.  Our seats were right along the foul line in the front row!  Pretty cool place to sit.  I've never sat that close to the field before and all the players are so relaxed they walk by and wave and sign things and give out balls.  And I finally got some sun, so I'm starting to look like

 

Last weekend we had our friends Chris and Rachel from Knoxville in town to spend their spring break with us!  They really did a lot while they were here and I am glad they had a wonderful trip!  They got to see Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, New Smyrna Beach, Universal and Islands of Adventure.  And we were even able to go get Jeremiah's 3 times!  

Here is a sneak peek at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that they just announced yesterday officially opens June 18th!  As season ticket holders we get to go to the premier opening and I will be sure to let you all know how it is.

This is the 4 of us after a long but successful day at Universal Studios!  We never waited longer than like 15 minutes for a ride and finally got to ride the new Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket Roller Coaster (I give it a B minus...nothing great).  We had a great time with the Taylor's!  Thank you for spending your vacation with us in Orlando!

I think I finally have you all caught up on the Paynes.  Our next visitors are the Bakers from Thompson Station, TN!  They will be here next weekend and we're looking forward to hanging out with them.  I haven't seen Morgan in a very very long time!  Only 1 more week of no Mexican Food!  I am craving chips and salsa and a bean burritto!

Love and miss you all!
