One of the best gifts ever!

This summer was Michael and I's 12th wedding anniversary. When he gave me my card it said that when you love someone you sacrifice things for that person and I didn't understand what he was talking about until I opened it up further and read what it was. Carrie Underwood concert tickets for November 14th. As most of you know Michaels birthday was November 14th and I knew he wasn't that into Carrie Underwood so I felt very special. He said he was giving up he birthday night so I could go see her in concert. Two days before the concert he asked me for her cd so that he could listen to it while he drove to work. He said he wanted to know some of her songs. When we arrived at the rabo bank arena there were people everywhere. It was crazy. When Michael ordered the tickets he ordered on the floor area since he didn't know where the best view would be. As we got down on the floor the workers asked for our tickets and walked us to our seats. Can I just say they were the best ever. We were in the second row back from the stage they walk out on. You could see them perfectly when they came out there to sing. The only bad part was the giant lady who sat right in front of me. You will seee she is most of the pictures but besides that it was a great night. Michael stood with me while I danced and sang and said he had a great time. I know his favorite part was when she came out for the encore and sang Guns and Roses "Paridise city". He knew every word and was rocking out. Carrie Underwood is beautiful and she can sing! The band opening up for her was Little Big Town and they were great also. A night to remember for sure.

the whole concert was redeemed for jared when she sang a little guns n roses. After she was done he said that was good but too bad she didn't bring guns n roses out on stage to sing it with her. never happy but I thought the concert was great!

That gal from Little Big Town has hair that just won't quit-love it! I am not a big country person either, but Carrie definitely had me at "Paradise City." I have to say that when I first spotted you two, you were rockin' out-go on with your bad self!
