Well, last night was the night. Bon Jovi and Daughtry at the Greensboro Coliseum. It was wonderful, fabulous, fantastic, excellent. It was downright other-worldly. There is something about a good concert that honestly makes me want to cry. It can be so emotional. You get so wrapped up in the music and the lyrics and, now that they have those video screens, you even get caught up in the facial expressions of the artist. Even though there were literally thousands of people there, I felt like I was the only person there with my main man Jon. He was singing every song for me and all I could do was sing them right back. I know it sounds corny and stalker-ish, but I just love that man and I hope he knows how much JOY he has brought to my life through his music (and his perfect butt and beautiful eyes... aahhhh). In all seriousness, it was one of the best concerts, if not THE best concert, I have ever been to. And I've been to a lot.
It was also especially good because Carmen and I got to spend some time together. We were talking and we realized we really haven't been able to do anything together (without kids or husbands) in about ten years! How sad is it that two best friends go THAT long without hanging out? It was really good for us and if we had about three or four weekend trips like that, we could maybe catch up and talk enough to make up for all the time apart. We had fun laughing at the slutty looking old women in our hotel who were also going to the concert. We made a new funny memory, too. After the concert our car wouldn't start. We had to get coliseum security to jump us off and then we had the same problem this morning at the hotel. We ended up buying a new battery for her car before starting home.
Earlier in the weekend, Brad and Greg went to Wal-Mart in Forest City at midnight and bought us a new Nintendo Wii. We have talked about getting one for a while now. Katie and Greg have been coming over on Friday nights and watching 20/20 because there's really nothing else to do. Now we can play our Wii. Sam has played all afternoon today. I have really enjoyed watching him because he gets so into it. I think it will truly be a good "family" activity for all of us.
Gotta go to bed now... I am SO sleepy after a really fun, really tiring weekend.
PS. Carmen, you need unlimited texting.
PPS. Judy, thank you for letting us borrow the "lady in the box".

I had the best time this weekend, I'm so glad we got to do that. I just wish it could have lasted longer. We have to find more stuff to do together more often. I know Billy would love to try out your Wii, and so would I, so we might show up at your house to play sometime. I miss Jon and Chris so bad! We are so going back to see them every single time they come near us until the day we die! Or until they die, whichever comes first!
