There are certain things that keep you going when you have a hubby on the road a lot. One of those things are the wives that can relate to this fun and crazy life. Thankfully I have two other 33 wives, a couple of the band wives, and other friends with husbands that are artists, musicians, road managers, etc. that travel a ton too! I don't know what I would do without these ladies in my life! There is just something about being able to say one thing, or give one look and they get it! Let me introduce you to a few of the ladies in my life that listen to me when it's hard, and celebrate with me when it's great!
Joy Lockwood(wife of Chris from 33miles pictured above) Joy is my girl! Unfortunately she lives in Mobile, AL but they are moving to Nashville very soon hopefully...YAY!!! Joy is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. We talk on the phone quite a bit while the guys are away, and not so much when they are home. We laugh, cry, complain, and celebrate together. And of course we always think our ideas would be better than the guys...we don't tell them that though. HA!
Jenna Stoddard(wife of Collin from 33miles) Jenna is my other girl! She lives here in town, and it is wonderful! She is also one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! I can always depend on Jenna to lift my spirits, and hang out with me and my kiddos even though she doesn't have any yet. We also don't talk much while the guys are home...that is a recurring theme in this crazy life I think!
Nikki Silverman(wife of Adam 33miles drummer) Nikki is amazing! She is so easy to talk to, and can relate to any topic! She also is a converted health nut that has all the answers I ask when it comes to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and crazy good organic chocolate chip cookies!!!
Rachel Williamson(wife of Aaron 33miles bass player) Rachel is one of the funniest people I know. She has a crazy sense of humor, and I love hanging out with her anytime I can! She also lives in Mobile, AL so I don't get to see her much.
*The rest of these I will just have to let you guess who they are...
Stephanie Lee - I love, love, love me some Stephanie Lee! She has lived this life much longer than I have and always has great advice to give, and not to mention she is one of my best friends! We always have a blast together, and our kids LOVE each other so much! She left me and moved to Atlanta so I don't get to see her as much as I would like!
Emily West - Emily lives here in town, and is always so much fun to hang out with! She is so sweet, and very positive most all of the time. Sometimes I definitely wish I was more like Emily! But, I really love it when she can "tell it like it is"! It makes me laugh so hard!
Courtney Roy - Courtney is a new friend that I pretty much only see at our management's Christmas party every year (our hubby's share the same managers), and out on the road sometimes. When we see each other, we can barely catch a breath trying to get it all in! She has some of the best advice, and our children are close to the same age so that makes it fun! She also started a website for band wives called www.rockerswives.com.
These are just a few of the ladies that help get me through, and make me laugh hard in the process. Even though I don't get to see much of them, it is comforting to know that they are just a phone call away! Thanks girls for the love, encouragement, and support you give!
