Our First Night Out


So, this is my first blog. Bare with me considering I had a very long night last night :)



My husband's brother & his fiance got married yesterday so we all decided to go out to Billy Bob's and see Josh Turner!! [OMG!! I know, right?!] So, we go out to dinner with the family & at this point, we aren't trying to hurry by any means... Josh Turner didn't start until 10:30, we have time, right? Wrong.


We fiddle around until about 8:30 & decide it might be time to head that way. We score some sweet parking in a pawn shop parking lot. [Hey, it's legit, we paid & got a ticket... So don't think our cars got stolen or something ha ha] We run across traffic in a frenzy to get inside as fast as possible. We get to the door and there is a long line just to get in and pick up our tickets. [Good thing we got some in advance because people were outside BEGGING to buy tickets from people... It had completely reached its max]


We get in and have an hour & a half to "chill" before our man gets on stage so we decide to go up to our first bar. [My husband's and mine... Not his brother & sister-in-law's] I didn't even know what to order, so I just copied my sister-in-law. And out of all honesty, I cannot remember the name of the drink... Something Sunrise LOL. Anyways, it was good.


So we head off to find a seat. YEAHHHH RIGHT! There was absolutely no seats available in the entire bar. There was not even an inch of rail left to stand by. Great, what a perfect time to be short, right?! So we just kind of walk around & talk.


By the time Josh Turner got on stage, there were more people shoved in that place than I could imagine. We felt like sardines squished in a tiny can. And this is not pleasant by any means. You know those type of girls that have this odd need to dress like strippers? Well, there were a lot of those girls & being squished next to them in our sardine can was indredibly uncomfortable.


Josh started singing in that pretty little voice and we made our way as close as we could possibly get [without getting my feet stepped on, I had just gotten some cute new sandals]. I sang my little heart out and made sure Josh knew that I knew he was singing to me :)


Despite being so tired I can barely think, I had a blast & hope to do it again sometime. Except next time, we will buy the reserved seats & not have to stand & wiggle our way through people. And, I'd get to see my man a little closer ;)

    Sounds like fun! We don't get many good concerts here. We have to go to Missoula or Spokane. Both several hours away. Luke is totally disgusted because we "don't even have a professional basketball team here!" What abuse I am heaping on my children....
    Keep writing. I am always reading!
