Today I accepted an invite and went to a K-Pop Picnic in the Park, another first. My ARMY friend texted me and said basically this starts at noon and I will be there, so I decided to meet her there. Met some more awesome ARMY, ate from a local Bibibop Asian Grille (who catered) and decorated top-loaders. More firsts. To those who don't get it, well, don't knock it until you have tried it. My family is my family and will always come first. My ARMY family is just that, my ARMY family. We don't share blood we share a bond over music that makes us smile, laugh and cry. BTS does all that and when the boys are at work and the DILs are busy taking care of their families and doing mom stuff, and the kids are in school, well BTS in on the TV or laptop and keeping me company. It has taken me 3+ years to remember that Ken would want me out and about and doing new things. Even though the boys kept telling me that I never understood what they meant, now I do. Everyone should live their life doing what makes them happy and when my family isn't here 24/7 (cause they have their own lives and I don't need to be babysat...lol)) then I do my life while enjoying awesome music. Don't be sad for me, I'm not.
