I found out that Ree Drummond, aka "the Pioneer Woman," was going to be doing a book signing at the Books A Million near me. I'm a fan of hers, so I decided to go. I've been to book signings before, but never for anyone as well known as her, so I didn't know what to expect. BAM started selling the book and tickets the week before. Thankfully Chad was able to get my book the day they started selling them so I was ticket # 17. The actual book signing was pretty crazy and there were a LOT of people there, but because of my ticket number I was at the beginning of the line. I thought the BAM staff were very nice, but the line wasn't very well controlled. Ree seemed very nice and I was able to get a picture with her too. Since I was at the beginning of the line we were done by 6:20 or so (it started at 6:00), but a friend of mine was like number 240 and she was there until 9:30 before she got her book signed - I was SO thankful Chad got me an early ticket number!

One of the best Christmas gifts I got this year was getting to see the closest thing to an Athenaeum reunion show! Mark Kano and Mike Garrigan played at Amos' Southend with a full band - just not the original Athenaeum band. But it was an AWESOME 2 hour show! They are so incredibly talented and the concert was on Dec. 20, so only a few days before Christmas. Plus, we got there a little early and were able to snag a table upstairs so we didn't have to stand the whole time. Here are some pictures from the Athenaeum reunion show:
