Ailee  I couldn’t believe Lug proposed. I had not expected it at all. I had hoped we would one day but I never thought it would be so soon. It makes sense I guess since I’m his ol’e lady. From what the other ol’e ladies told me it happens but being married isn’t a necessity. To say I was surprised was not even in the ballpark. More like shocked, stunned, and thrilled by just a few things going on in my head. And of course, I was going to say yes. I’m not crazy. This man has my, heart and soul. The is no walking away from that. He has seen me at my worst, best, and on my death bed and hasn’t walked away. That shows me more love and devotion than any words he could say. But you know me. I had to put my own twist on it.   I look at the ring Lug ju

Lug Nut  I was standing in the shower leaning my head against the wall . I had the massaging shower heads aimed at my neck to work the aches out of it. We had a big show coming up and Lilly was working us like crazy. I would never say anything to her because without her there is no way we would be as big as we are now. But moving all the equipment can make all your muscles hurt. I know Lilly must be feeling it as well because she works just as hard if not harder than the rest of us. I hope Tank is taking  care of her.   You are probably wondering why I haven’t asked Ailee to rub my neck. Don’t get me wrong she would if I asked. She has volunteered several times and she is good at it. But when she gets her hands on me it is never just a mas

Lug Nut  Watching Ailee get marked was a dream come true. Just one more step to making her all mine. The last thing is getting my ring on her finger. And that isn’t very far off. Six months isn’t long compared to the lifetime we are going to spend together. I’m not paying attention to Mick. The guy working on my tattoo. He has done some of my work before so I’m not worried. My eyes are glued to Tank and Ailee. Not that I don’t trust him. I trust the man with my life and my girl. I just like seeing Ailee’s tattoo come to life. Merigold has customized all the tattoos for the ol’e ladies but this  one Ailee put in her thoughts as well. Most ol’e ladies have the tattoo on their back or chest. Not my girl. She had Merigold make a gauntlet that starts from her wrist and goes about six inches up and wraps around her arm.  

Lug Nut  We are in our best form tonight for the concert. Lilly is blowing them away with her voice and dancing even her pregnant belly isn’t stopping the fans from fawning over her. We are playing at the fair grounds to the biggest audience we have ever played for. This place is packed. When Lilly had told us about playing here I had my doubts about it. I didn’t think we could fill a venue this large but I did have faith in Lilly. She told us it didn’t matter if we filled it or not. We had loyal fans that would come and the only thing that mattered was the cause we were performing for. We are participating in a school fundraiser to help sports and music programs. Several schools around the area have booths set up from food, arts and crafts, gaming booths and auction items to help raise money to keep these programs running. 

Lug Nut I woke up the next morning and I immediately knew something was off. First, Ailee’s side of the bed was cold. I look over and see Katrina isn’t in her playpen. How did I not hear them moving around? I never heard Kartina wake up last night. Did she sleep through the night or did Ailee attend to her while I was sleeping? Man, I’m slacking at this dad thing and it is only the first night. I toss the comforter off me and get out of bed. After using the bathroom I throw on some sweat pants and go hunting down my girls. My girls, I think to myself. Wow. I’m a dad now. And I’m about to be a husband. And I’m not freaking out. Ailee had talked about having children but I figured it would be a little ways down the road. I would get a year, maybe two of having Ailee all to myself. But life is strange. You never know what it is going to throw at you. I may not be sure what I’m doing but taking Katrina is never going to be a mistake. I walked down the hall to the living room. Off to th
