Lucky?

This past weekend was great, just for the fact that it was, well, the weekend. 

Friday my husband Michael planned a Valentine's surprise. 
He told me to dress warm and brought the dog- so I knew it wouldn't be at a fancy restaurant.
Nope, it was even better.
He took me to our favorite park where we used to live (before we bought our house) and recreated our picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris last summer.
So it was pretty awesome. And I'm lucky that he is so thoughtful.

Saturday I was really hoping luck would be in my favor. Today was the day I had been waiting for: Tomorrowland 2013 tickets were going on sale. I went last year and it was the best music festival I had ever been to.
Frankly, it was up there with my wedding day as some of the best days of my life.
I had to go again.
With 10 different computers, we waited for 2 and half hours in an online queue. 
And did not get tickets. 
I was very disappointed. Like crying.
 But we are going to be crazy people and still fly from Texas to Belgium and hope to score tickets at the festival. 
Cross your fingers. (And your toes).

With not much to do my friend and I decided it would be a good idea to drink and get on chat roulette
I highly recommend it.
If you haven't heard of it: "it's an online chat website that pairs strangers from around the world together for webcam-based conversations."
Honestly, I didn't see anyone being that creepy on there.
Sure, some guys will ask to see your boobs- but you just next them and go on to the next person. 
It's pretty entertaining. We talked to people all over the country and the world. We made sure to wear sunglasses, you know, just in case they were weirdos that would take a picture of the computer screen and then blog about it.
Whoops, that's me. 
Some people were hilarious.
Like one guy from Australia told us he competed in fitness competitions.
He looked like a smaller version of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And he kept flexing his "guns."

After staring at a computer screen for hours, my husband convinced us that we needed to go outside. 
We took the dog to a new bar near the lake and had a few drinks. 


So I guess I'm not very lucky.
I didn't score any tickets.
I've never won the lottery.
Or really anything for that matter.
But looking at the above makes me realize I'm lucky in other ways.
And hey, If you are lucky, will you please rub some of that off on me? I'd hate to fly to Belgium and not get in to the festival.
Ok, so I would try to sneak in the festival and end up in jail in a different country and you'd never hear from me again. And we don't want that.

Pretty sure this is the most amazing Valentines Celebration I've ever seen. And I'm also pretty sure I love your husband for his taste in events- picnics, day drinking at the lake, bars with dogs, and chat roulette? Awesome.

Aw, your husband is so sweet to recreate your picnic!! Love that idea! Much more creative and special than going to a fancy restaurant :)
Also, sorry you didn't get your tickets, but I hope you get them when you go! :)

Awwwww! Michael is so romantic. Looking at the picture of you drinking that pink drink still kinda made me sick. This is going to be one long day.

Yes to two outings the dog could go on. Win win for everyone.

I'm sorry you didn't get tickets. I feel your luck will change once you're on the ground in Belgium!

Ohhh man Michael is really bringing out the big guns. How cute is that? Love your hat and jacket.. you look like you're in Paris! I hate that you didn't get tickets but I just know you're going to figure it out. Ohh Chat Roulette.. we used to drink and go on there in college. Be honest, how many penises did you see? I wish you would have done Google Hangout with us. Next time fo sho. This comment is getting ridic. LOVES YOU.

How sweet & creative is your husband?! Gosh. So so cute what he did for you. Men like that are few and far between!!

I am a fan of Chat Roulette! It's pretty entertaining actually! Haha i love that you wore sunglasses, that is not a bad idea!

Faith Bowyer said... Reply To This Comment

Your husband is adorable. I love that you reinacted your Eiffel tower picnick!

I'm sorry you didn't get your tickets - but check online! People sell tickets for EVERYTHING online :) Good luck!

p.s. Chat Roulette is hilarious. I've played the Chat Roulette drinking game with friends before. You take a shot every time you see a dick. I think the site is a bit more 'tame' now, but like two years ago you could totally get drunk fast.

Fun fact - I saw Drake on Chat Roulette once. I haven't been on the site since, because I can never top that. Haha.

Boo for not getting tickets, BUT hell yes to the fact that you guys are still gonna go. YOU WILL score some tickets!!!!

Kayla Peveler said... Reply To This Comment

A recreation of your Paris picnic? First of all, YOU WENT TO PARIS?!?! Second, omg...adorable.

I cannot believe you guys didn't get those tickets!!!! You will sneak in, no prob ;)

shannon said... Reply To This Comment

i feel like maybe you should have made a drinking game out of the chat roulette. like drink/take a shot every time you see a man's naughty bit. because that just happens on there. like you're not even asking but they're just super willing to share and it's awkward. but also hilarious.

your husband = cuteness
not getting tickets = lameness

Erin said... Reply To This Comment

Uggghhhh, so precious you two! I mean seriously!? Is there anything better than a romantic picnic with your man?? I wouldn't know- I haven't been on one ;)

A friend and I totally did chat roulette one time and got THE weirdest freaks within like 3 minutes so we quit haha. Never again!!

Natalie Hinkley said... Reply To This Comment

What a cute date! I'm sorry you didn't get tickets, but I am sure you can find some when you get there!

That Valentine's date sounds absolutely perfect! I need some luck too, and maybe some gracefulness! I'm probably the most clumsy person alive! haha :)

I can't believe you're flying to Belgium. That's the best thing I've heard all day. You WILL get tickets...you will!!!

And love your Valentine's date. He really is so sweet!

Maxine said... Reply To This Comment

I'll pray to the tomorrowland gods and hopefully they respond!!! Also, love Michaels tank top... so stylish of him! and how stylish of you in the paris pictures.... if it weren't for the tiny eiffel tower I would have guessed you were actually there. ;-)

Rachel said... Reply To This Comment

I will literally be crossing every crossable part of my body for you to get tickets when you go! 2 of our friends managed to get tickets, and I have a feeling they'll be rubbing it in our faces until then! Maybe I can convince Dom to fly over there and try to score tickets too...? I mean last time we were only there for a day while driving from switzerland to germany soooo I might be able to convince him! (I'm thinking no :()

Such a cute Valentine's Day date though! SO sweet of your man!

Chatroulette date? Y'all are my couple idols. Does he have a twin? Then we'd really be best friends forever.
