A Stress Free Way of Planning a Wedding

Posted by Vanessa Burks

My husband and I are planning a wedding and decided that it would be a good idea to find services online with hughes wireless. It was something that someone suggested to us so we thought is would be good to give it a try. Great thing about it was that we just purchased satellite internet to get online so the timing was perfect. We found a site online to pick the venue that we would like. There were many different choices but we were able to narrow it down to something that we both agreed on. We were very careful in doing our research when it came to bets places for the season we were getting married in. It was also great that we were able to price match and have all the choices at hand to compare and choose which would be best for us.

My mom thought we were crazy for looking online to plan our wedding but I found it to be very stress free. I have heard numerous stories about people going crazy trying to plan the perfect day for their wedding. I wanted to enjoy every part of it and using the internet as my planner and organizer was one of the best things I could have ever done. My day was very magical and I would do it over again although I hope not to.

My Dream Vacation at Myrtle Beach, NC

This is not an sponsored post.

Before I got here in United States, my favorite sports to watch were bowling and football. In grade school, my classmates/friends and I used to play football after school and we really enjoyed it. I still can remember going home late and my Mom gets mad at me every time. Well, it was because she was worried for my safety. Then, bowling was next when I live overseas. My fellow Filipinos went to play bowling every Sunday and even joined the tournament and won second place. Anyway, when I got here, I came to love golf and became a fan of Tiger Woods. I watch him play ever time he plays on T.V. and seldom missed it. One time, my Aunt visited us from California. She took us to a golf course near the apartment where we lived where hubby and I get to play golf for the first time. It was fun and we had great time!

Golf for me is the most expensive sport ever! That is why only rich people like my Aunt can affords to play it. I am sure she can afford to play in one of the famous golf course in the U.S. which is in North Carolina. My family and I have been to Myrtle Beach and seen great golf courses. Next time she visits us again I would tell her that we go to Myrtle Beach so she could experience the joy of playing in such great golf courses found in either Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Sunset Beach, Pawleys Island. There we can book our last minute tee time without any problems. Yes, you don't need any accommodations to book your tee times. Their unique web service lets you browse Myrtle Beach area courses for last minute tee time availability. All you have to do is simply choose your travel dates, area golf courses, and times. An email confirmation comes to you instantly with the best tee time deals for the Grand Strand area.

Funeral Insurance is a Must!

When my grandmother died lat year, I flew from here to the Philippines to pay my last respect to her. I love and miss her so much. She was such a loving, generous, selfish and hardworking person I've ever met. And it was such a big lost for all of those she left behind. But we are all glad now that she is reunited with grandfather at last.

Anyway, her death brought me into realization that funeral expenses can be very expensive and hard on those who have shoulder the expenses. Everybody pitched in to settle everything so she can be buried decently. It was a lesson learned especially on me because now I know that we really need funeral insurance. We don't want to leave our son with all of our financial responsibility specially with funeral expenses. I like that funeral insurance provides cash for my son to help cover the cost of the funeral and unexpected expenses such as bills and more, thus less worry for him during those emotional and difficult time of his life.

Though our son is very young, we plan of getting ourselves real life insurance to secure our son's future. A friend of ours recommended a place where we could get cheap funeral insurance ; she and her sister used that company when their mother and brother died few years back and she said it was very affordable. She even mentioned to us the many benefits associated with these type of insurances and we became very interested. Anyway, if you are interested, click the links provided on this post/article for more info.

Play Around in Memphis

This is a sponsored guest post written by Memphis Travel on behalf of Memphis CVB. Post powered by Sponzai.

More than just the home of the blues and barbeque, Memphis gives you plenty of ways to play around, with fun things to do no matter who you are or what you like. Of course, if you’re into Elvis, rock-and-roll and mouth-watering ribs, you’ve got to check out Graceland, Sun Studios, and the Rendezvous. But Memphis has much more to offer than this holy trinity of southern culture, with enough to see, do and eat to make it the perfect location for your next long weekend getaway.

The families out there (or the wild at heart) should be sure to check out the Memphis Zoo, one of only four U.S. zoos with giant pandas. Recently ranked the #1 zoo in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.com, the Memphis Zoo lets you get up close and personal with the animal kingdom. And with the recent addition the Northwest Passage, home to Polar bears in a see-through underwater exhibit, and the zoo’s newest section, Teton Trek, kids and adults alike are certain to have a blast.

Don’t let your midtown experience stop at the zoo; the Cooper-Young and Overton Square neighborhoods are just down the street. Ask a local Memphian where to find a tasty bite to eat, great local music and ice cold beer, and they will probably direct you here. Speaking of beer … the environmentally conscious visitor can enjoy a locally brewed beer by Ghost River Brewing or walk through the natural landscape and educational facilities at the Lichterman Nature Center.

Memphis has museums for just about everything. From the Civil Rights Museum, Cotton Museum and Fire Museum in downtown to the Brooks Museum, Children’s Museum of Memphis and the Pink Palace Museum further east, the number of places to have fun while you learn are as bountiful as the barbeque restaurants. Families, friends, sports fans, history buffs, self-proclaimed food critics – Memphis has everything you need to keep everyone happy.

Big Love Family TV Night

Thanks for the post from Noble Schultz

I absolutely cannot wait until the next season of Big Love to begin! I'm so excited for the show to start again not only am I stumped by the last season's cliffhanging season finale, but I am excited to begin the Sunday night ritual with my family once more. It's one of our few chances to catch up and hang out during the week, since we're all so busy with work, school, and sports. To make sure we don't lose touch with each other, we schedule Big Love night every week. Every Sunday night we have dinner as a family at the table at my grandmother's house because she has Directtv. Then, it's an epic race to the living to battle and barter over the comfy couch and grandma's famous knitted blankets. During the show we pass around finger-food desserts like chocolate covered raisins and caramel corn while we delight in the drama of Juniper Creek and Henrickson's Home Plus. Afterwards, we visit about our own lives and discuss the recent episode of Big Love while we help do dishes and clean up the kitchen. It may sound silly to you, but Big Love season is my favorite season of the whole year.

My Dream Granite Kitchen Sinks

When we attended the meeting at the showroom before the building of our house begins, hubby and I were so amazed how much we can do to upgrade the things we wanted to put in our house. The have everything from appliances, flooring, kitchen counter tops, undermount kitchen sinks and to window treatment. The Granite Kitchen Sinks were the ones I like the best. I told my husband that next time we replace the kitchen sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms, I'd like the to put that one. The granite kitchen sinks series are made of 100% environmentally friendly materials (80% Quartzite, 20% Acrylic ). They are also coated in bacteria killing silver ions which kill 99% of bacteria on contact, not to mention that granite sinks are scratch resistant, stain proof, and sound dampening. Sometimes when I think about it, it makes me feel like praying that our sink will breaks soon just so we can replace it with granite kitchen sink :-). Anyway, if your are looking for quality granite kitchen sinks, look no further for Mr Direct Sinks and Faucets is the place. Just click the links provided here fore more info.

Friday Night Movie

Tonight was supposed to be a movie night at the community park; and my son was very excited about it. He couldn't wait to go to the park to see the movie they'll show us. But the rain stopped us from going there and my son was very disappointed. To tell you, I am not really excited about it because I've seen this movie before and it isn't a movie children would really want to watch. "No Reservations" is a grown up movie. What in the world the staff were thinking when they chose it? For crying out loud, did they think about children first or would it be a family movie to be enjoyed by adult and children alike? Of all the movie available on DVD now, why this one? Thank goodness it rained hard and that is enough reason for my son to stop bugging me about it. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed watching it on DVD....what I am saying is that....it is not a kid - friendly movie. I am sure parents would agree with me on this one.

Many Thanks to the Electric Cigarettes Maker

The one thing my mother, siblings and I worry about so much is my father's addiction to cigarette smoking. We did the best we could to stop him but to no avail. My mother quit reminding him that it isn't good for his health particularly his lungs. He has been smoking for as long as I can remember...I was very young then and to this day his smoking habit never stopped. Peter Jennings sudden death didn't alarm my father. To me, it is a miracle that my father's health is still okay. Anyway, my problem with him is solved when I found out about the electric cigarettes. It would be a great gift I could give to him for this is safe and he can smoke as much as he wants to. Electric cigarettes might not stop him from smoking, but might save his life in the end. To the makers of electric cigarettes...thank you so much. You guys just saved and still saving many lives of people who smokes cigarettes.

Asbestos is Bad for Health

Have you heard about the word "asbestos" before? When I was little I used to hear it very often, but not really aware that this kind of building material is bad for your body and health. When I started hearing about a disease called mesotheolioma, that was when I feel bad about it. Knowing that many workers suffered even died because of constant inhalation of asbestos at their work place. Then, when the government banned the use of it, it was a good news for the builders/constructions workers and their families. This asbestos mesothelioma can be very helpful if not that poisonous; it can be a big lost with the manufacturers, but for the good of the people's health.

My In-Laws New Motor Home

It is our dream to someday own a motor home just like the one my parents in-laws have. Imagine how wonderful it is to travel anytime and anyway you want to! It was like you are always home where in fact you are not. I bet my son would be very excited when he goes on a vacation with his grandparents someday on a motor home. Just the thought of it makes me wonder how much fun he would have. Just a couple of years ago, my in-laws traded their old motor home into a new one since it needs a lot of repairs; and the motor home repairs company they hired didn't do a good job and the same part need constant repair every year. Now they are happy with their new motor home.

The Neelys

Don't you love Pat and Gina Neelys of Donw Home with the Neelys foods netowrk show? Oh man, they cooked the best southern foods ever! Every time I watch their show I drool with the foods they share with their audiences. They made cooking easy and yummy. My most favorite side dish they made was the Collard Greens. I'll it is so yummy because I made it once! My family loves it! I just modified their recipe a little bit to suit my taste. If you want to learn more about the Neelys who lives and owns a restaurant in Tennessee, you better check watch their show or visit www.foodsnetwork.com. And oh, by the way, one of my blog is named after their show :-). Remember the "Down Home with the Kenyons?" Yup, that was it, alright!?

Steel Buildings Are Unique

My family and I love outdoors and traveling. We like road trips whether long or short. Seeing countryside and nature give us fun and and excitement not to mention the fresh air we couldn't find in the city. Anyway, every road trips we had gave us an opportunity to see different architectural building designs which are very unique. My most favorite building we've seen so far are steel buildings. Whoever discover steel is genius for he/she or they made steel very useful especially with those who build churches, factories, offices, gymnasiums and more using steel. These buildings can stand storms, hails, snow and everything. Someday, I'd like to have a big barn made of steel placed at the back of my dream house in the countryside.

He Imitates His Dad

I noticed that the construction workers who build houses in the community where we live now don't wear safety glasses. I wonder how they do that. How are they going to protect their eyes? Aren't they worried about small pieces of things get inside their eyes? I have no idea what were they thinking. Anyway, hubby on the other hand uses some kind of protection when working on a project inside the garage including safety glasses. That is a good habit he passed on to our son who now uses safety glasses when imitating or even helping Daddy working inside or outside home. I love seeing them working together, playing together and and teasing each other. Those times are priceless! Anyway, I just wished these construction worker would think about their health and body while on work.

Happy Birthday, Ams!

This post is for the blogger friend I've met online almost two years ago...her name is Amy. I am pretty sure most of you guys know her. She is one simple and yet smart woman I've ever met online.

To you, dear Ams...Happy, Happy Birthday! You had a birthday shout hooray! I'm going to sing to you today....one year older and wiser, too Happy Bday...to YOU!

Lost Box of Recipe Books

The other day, I didn't realized that we have lost a box of recipe books I have collected for years. I was opening boxes of books when I ran out of shelves to place them. That was when I found out that our move to Virginia cost me my collection of old and new recipe books. I felt bad for that. Hubby keeps on telling me that we can replace them, but that didn't make me fell better. Anyway, hubby has tons of old books and manuals he never touch for years. I told him that we can sell used books at Half Price Bookstore and that he can replace those manuals and books by reading them on the internet instead, thus saving us time and space. He is still undecided yet, though :-); he and I are both sentimental people...we save everything we care so much about.

Our New Outdoor Furniture

For the first time after almost nine years of being married, finally hubby and I were able to purchase inexpensive outdoor chaise lounges for our patio. Sometimes, we wouldn't know that this kind of outdoor furniture can be very affordable unless you buy it yourself. It's like my son who keeps saying 'i don't like this food' without trying it first. Then, he would say after tasting the food, ' oh i like this and that (foods), Mommy. Taking about chaise lounges, we are loving it. Now, we always seat on the porch even when the weather is warm. I bet my MIL would be very happy with it, for the one they gave us has a replacement already.....for it was passed on to Jesse (my BIL), their other son.

10 Hours is Gone :-(

I feel so bad for not being able to teach or should I say study with my son. We have been busy running errands and trying to settle in our new place and neighborhood. My son and I set aside at least two hours a day, 5 days a week study time in preparation for school this fall. I am so blessed with a son who is very patient and understanding when we are busy too busy to entertain him. Glad that we still able to spend time with him doing things we all enjoy like watching movie, shopping, trip to a friend's house, swimming lessons and playing. I promised my son and myself to make it up next week for the te10 hours we lost this week. Sorry son, we will do better next week, okay? Thanks and I love you.

No Laptop for Two weeks!

My husband is against with the idea of me taking my laptop with me when I went to the Philippines for my grandmother's funeral last year. He said that I don't really need it for my brother has an internet cafe I can use when I have something to do online; for instance talking with him using YM, checking emails, blogging and more. And if I insist, them we would have to get laptop insurance. I couldn't agree more with his reason which was 'there are tons of very important documents, photos, videos and password of bank account, credits cards and more in there. He is right, we don't want to lose those stuffs for they are irreplaceable. So, my laptop was left home and I was able to survive not being in front of the computer for hours and wasting my time doing nothing but surf the net.

Focal Point of Our Living Area

When we were shopping for furniture particularly tv stands, hubby and I decided to continue using the armour where our tv stands instead of purchasing one. Why? Because the prices we saw at the furniture store for just tv stands are very expensive! I kept telling him that the armour is fine for when the tv is not in use, it is hidden inside the armor, thus making the tv not the focal point of the living area in our house. I like that the fire place is still the focal point of the living room. Well, I don't like the tv as the focal point because to me, it shows how much you spend more time watching tv....also means more time are being wasted. We can make use of those times into more important and productive things like reading, exercising, spending time with family and more. Don't you agree on that? I bet, you do :-).

Salty Soup

My son and I had a rice soup (Campbell brand) for dinner tonight. I couldn't believe how salty it was! I don't understand why the maker of this soup put so much salt (sodium) in every canned foods they make. And why no one ever complain about it? Too much salt is bad for our health for it causes for blood pressure to spike and if not treated leads to heart disease and eventually kidney failure. I am a living proof of it that is why I limit my salt as well as sugar intake. Talking about salt, hubby and his mother put a lot of salt in their foods when eating; and I keep reminding hubby to be easy on salt, but he seems to forget it. I am worried he might get the same problem I had before that caused my kidney to fail and eventually dialysis and transplant afterward. Please, be easy on salt!

I Say "No" to Radar Detectors

Every time we travel from home to the hospital, hubby and I always see cops stopping a speeder on a highway. The thing that bothers me is that, these drivers know that cops are very active in that part of Mesquite, but they don't care, we think. Hubby said that some drivers must have radar detectors inside their car, and so they know when to slow down...but some are not just trying to ignore the police patrolling the area. Every once in awhile hubby would say, 'maybe I need to buy one' for the car I use when I drive to work. And I will always say 'no way!' I would rather see you late at work than being stopped by a cops or worst into car wreck.

Our Showroom Trip

When we went to the showroom to upgrade the features of house, we didn't realized that it will costs us much! Just the covered patio alone cost us $1800, then the window treatment is another. After that meeting, we need to come back to finalize the upgrades. Hubby and I studied the list hard and came to a decision that we don't have to buy stuffs at the showroom. So, we have lower the cost of the upgrade by buying the appliances and blinds blinds at a home improvement store. We were so glad we did because it saved us tons of money. Had we bought that blinds at showroom, we wouldn't have save $400; that was half the price at the showroom.

Quoteable Quotes

"The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it. " ~~ Jean Paul !!

"My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants." ~~ J.Brotherton ~~

I love these quotes for they are so true. They gave me greater understanding of our life here on earth, that it is short and so we don't need to waste time doing something that will no help us saved in God's kingdom. And that money is not everything just like other people think it is. Just very sad to see people gave so much importance of money that they neglect the most important thing which is family....the basic unit of the society.

Effective Wrinkle Cream

One thing most women worry about is wrinkle especially those wrinkles that are very visible o the eye like those on their forehead, sides of their eyes and lips. I can't blame them. I would probably feel the same way, too when I reach that age :-). My Aunt uses wrinkle cream that is why her face and skin don't show any single wrinkles at all. In fact, her skin and face looks better and younger looking than mine. Her wrinkle cream must be very effective and safe for she keeps on using it. Though her cream is expensive, it is worth it, don't you think? Next time I talk to her, I will ask the name of the wrinkle cream and where can I buy it.

Energy Booster

Due to my anemia, I have been lacking energy and I get tired pretty quickly. And that is the reason why I do things one step at a time. I know it will take awhile till I finish decorating our new house, painting the bedrooms and putting a raise bed garden...but sure I'll get there. Every other week, I have to do a lab test to check on my blood count and get shot, too but none of those things worked. So I started taking iron supplements but wasn't really helping much. I wonder if taking hgh supplement can help increase my energy. I heard that it helps and has many benefits, too. Hmmm, I better check with my doctor first or else it may interfere with my medications.

Heavy Rain this Afternoon

Because of the heavy rain this afternoon, hubby woke up from his sleep after a graveyard shipt the other night. He got home at 8am and went to bed after his breakfast at 8:30am....he was awaken by the heavy rain at 3:30pm. Darn it! I hope he would have a nice night at work tonight. Good thing he had slept at least seven (7) hours of sleep. Now our yard is soaked with water...so there no need for me to water them for two days...at least :-). I should thank the rain after all, lol!

Dark Circles Under My Eyes

I have been sleeping late at night lately and hubby is worried that I might get sick. He keeps telling me to go to bed early but I couldn't because I have so many things to do in front of the computer...as well as in and outside the house. Now that I am flooded with sponsored posts, I get to put extra hour blogging :-). This morning when I look into the mirror, I noticed the dark circles under my eyes. I better start putting eye cream that a friend of mine gave me when we visited her last weekend. She said it is the best eye cream for dark circles under my eyes. I believe her because her's are gone now. Good thing she works at Neiman Marcus where she gets free samples and shares it with us, her friends :-); thanks Ate Delia!

Compare Rates Services with Different Cable TV Companies First

Moving from one place to another can be quite expensive. With all the moving costs and stuffs related to it. People try to cut expenses just to save money for their coming move. I, for one tried to cut expenses to just so I have enough when emergency arise during the move. Hubby helped, too by canceling cable subscription, doing yard work instead of paying someone to do it for us and more.

Since we are done with our move, we plan of subscribing back to cable tv so we can watch our favorite tv shows again. We are kind of thinking on switching to a different cable tv company. I haven't decided yet which one. I have checked direct tv for directv service rates and found that their rate is not as expensive as the one we used to have. My friend uses drect tv and is very pleased with rates as well as the services. I am convinced, but I still need to compare it with the other like the time warner cable. I just hopre after I checked with their cable tv service rates, then I would be able to decide. My husband suggested to go online and compare prices; and if you are on the same loops like us, why don't you do the same find searching for info you should know about tv pricing. I couldn't wait to have cable tv installed in our house again for I have been missing my favorite Filipino tv shows.

Grasses Need to Be Watered Constantly!

Half an hour ago I was seating in our porch while watering the grass. It was so nice because the weather is cool and cloudy as if it is going to rain. I was thinking then that maybe I need to stop the sprinkler, but at the same time my mind was telling me another and that is I should continue watering which I did. A couple of minutes after the sprinkler stopped, rain fell for like less than five minutes! Good thing I followed my instinct, or else my yard would be very thirsty :-). The grasses anyway needs to be watered so it will surely live because it was new, plus they said that for the first two months, it needs to be water everyday. Well, grasses seemed to be thriving.

Looking for Sleep Aid

It would be very hard in the long run if you don't take care of your health. There are many reasons why people get sick, like for instance not eating right, no exercise to name a few. And that leads to obesity, diabetes, and other complications attach to it. Being overweight has something to do with sleep apnea which my husband now has. Because of that he uses sleep aid known as CPAP machine. Now, some people has difficulty sleeping, too; but that could be insomnia or something else. You might need different kind of sleep aid. To make sure, consult your physician first. In my case, my doctor recommended that I take over the counter allergy medicine for two weeks which I did; and now I can sleep easily with out tossing and turning for hours.

He Got Me Two Engagement Rings!

How can I forget the time when my ex boyfriend (now my hubby) visited me for the first time in Malaysia? Though he was nervous, he decided to meet me in person for the first time. Yup, we met through internet and have been writing for six month when we decided that t is time for us to meet and see how are feeling goes after seeing and spending time together. To our surprised, we felt like we've known each other for so long! No pretensions and awkwardness felt between us. The feeling was mutual and so when he proposed to me, I didn't think twice. I said, yes and the next thing we know we were at the mall shopping for an engagement ring. Well, he didn't plan the marriage proposal and so he didn't buy me a ring yet. So we checked different jewelry stores including Tiffany, but didn't find any that we both like. To make the story short, we ended going home without it. When he got home from his visit, he immediately bought me one and sent it by mail. I was overjoyed! Three months after our wedding he bought me another engagement ring, now I have two diamond engagement rings! Oh, what a sweet guy the man I married. As I always say, he is the best and I thanked God for sending this wonderful man in m life.

On Modesty

"When we better understand the doctrine behind the principles of modesty, we realize that modesty is the virtue that guides and moderates action. When you are well groomed and modestly dressed, you invite the companionship of the Spirit and can exercise a good influence on those around you.”... One of the foremost blessings associated with modesty is an increased sense of confidence." ~~ Silvia H. Allred~~

This quote is very true! We don't need to wear very revealing clothes just so the people will tell us how sexy or pretty we are. What we need is wear clothes that God approves which are simple, and modest. By so doing, you will gain respect from other people and you're not making yourself a dummy of this new fashion that degrades moral values and self respect. It also shows respect for yourself, for others, and for God.

Modesty also means using kind words, being gentle, kind, and no swearing, name calling and things like that.

Who Doesn't Need Disney Vacations!

After all the moving out and in we have done in the past two weeks from apartment to house, all I can think about right now is to rest and relax. But how can I do that if I had a pending job (painting) waiting for me. I don't even have the courage to do it; need hubby's help...but he is works today. I will just need to wait for him so we can finish what we have started. Right now, my neck is killing me...need a massage so badly. Ho I wished that my family and I can go on a vacation this summer. It would be nice to go on Disney vacations and have some fun. My son would be very happy to see his favorite cartoon characters like Sheriff Woody, Buzz Light Year, Sponge Bob, Winnie the Pooh, and so much more! Anyway, I can still remember the first and last time I was there was almost nine years ago; am sure a lot os thing changed and I would like to see the changes.

The Bad Efffects of Asbestos

Modern technology and innovation has come a long way when it comes to electronic gadgets and appliances. Intenet made it even better and easier for us to live a comfortable life. The same thing with the mineral called asbestos which was found to have many uses and was regarded as a miracle mineral because of its good properties. There is a counter pit to that also which is the bad effects of it to the human's health. Asbestos was later found to be a hazard element and can cause lung diseases and Mesothelioma Disease to those that worked in industries where asbestos was used. Exposure of human to this element can lead them to that kind of disease. Good thing the usage of asbestos was prohibited and banned by the government.

To those who are affected of the disease, it is time for you to act now and make the responsible parties or companies do their part like help the patients and their families with financial support. This is also the time to seek for a Mesothelioma Lawyer that will handle your case or a Mesothelioma Attorney. Mind you, these lawyer and attorney handle the said case differently. You might need the one over the other, so do some research to see which one should you contact first.

Great Deals on Tickets Nationwide

Growing up, I remember watching basketball games on the television with my father who is an avid fan of a national team back in the Philippines. He and I would just seat, watch and cheer the team we are in favor for. Somehow the teams we both like always wins most of the time! Anyway, someday I wished that I could watch my favorite basketball team (Lakers) playing at American Airlines Center - TX with my father; that would be a dream comes true to him. My husband on the other hand wants to buy tickets for the two of us at ticketamerica.com for the coming games that will be held at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington together with our friends.

Another place I wanted to see my favorite band perform is at Madison Square Garden in New York. It would be a dream treat to see also country singers like Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow, Shania Twain and Faith in that famous garden :-). For the meantime, since we now live near Kauffman Stadium we would take advantage of every opportunity we can get to watch our favorite baseball team plays in there. I bet my son would be very happy to join us cheer and have fun as we watch the game in person! Anyway, if you are looking for a great deal on tickets go to www.ticketamerica.com; you'll find tickets for every stadium, park, center and garden you can think of nationwide.
