Fun Night!

I have mentioned before that we are huge American Idol fans at our house. Even though the excitement has been way down lately for this reality show, it doesn't stop us from gathering around the TV to watch and critique the talent. Some of my favorite contestants are Kelly Clarkson, Bo Bice, Taylor Hicks and of course Carrie Underwood.

Well guess what....I was given 2 free tickets to see Carrie Underwood (from a company I do business with at work) while she was in Birmingham this week! And of course, being the big AI fans we are, Jeff and I went!!!!! She was awesome! We were so star struck! Our seats were so unbelievably great that I even got to shake (touch) her hand. She sounded as good as she does on the radio...no kidding. That girl can really sing...really! Usually you don't hear all the really high notes at a live performance (mostly because they can't hit them), but Carrie did not hold back. She sang every high note you hear on the radio, and kept it in pitch. Awesome! She was so awesome! We had such a good time acting like teenagers! I have posted a video we made but the sound quality is not that good. But I want you to see how close we were to her and how much fun we had.




















We standing right here, against the rail!

So cute!





No zoom...she was right beside us!











This picture is for Renee. She was singing "Remember Me" and talked about how much she missed her mom while being on the road. She said "we sing this song because we miss our families so much". So sweet. I know they teased you Renee when Donna left... and kept playing this song. I thought about you! Not how Kori might leave me soon, but how sad you were when Donna moved away. And now look....she's back! PTL!
