And I thought I loved him "Then"....

A while ago I aquired a liking, okay more like obsession for Brad Paisley. I find him soooo attractive and love his songs. Well just this past weekend I went to the one and only Brad Paisley concert! I already know this blog just won't do it justice but I'll give it my best shot. I went with the best people possible-my mom and Mara. We decided to make a huge girls weekend out of it and I have been looking forward to it for months. no exaggeration. We headed off to the Big SLC with just a enough travel time to make it to the pre concert show....

Well we got there without a camera. I know, I was upset needless to say but also very thankful for technology that travels with me on my cellular device. First off let me tell you who was there: of course Brad, Darius Rucker, Easton Corbin, Justin Moore, and Steel Magnolia. Jammed packed of amazing people! So when we finally got there we found out that Easton had already played... Well for those of you who know, besides Brad I absolutely love Easton so let's say I was a little upset.. As we were watching Steel Magnolia I could see him just chilling by his bus in the shade. My crazy mom walked right up to the security guard and told him her daughter really wanted to meet Easton, what did we have to do. He said you had to have a VIP pass but he would be out in about a half hour to sign autographs and they wouldn't check for a pass, he said he shouldn't have told us and it was a secret... so we stood in line and met him! It was crazy! I stood right next to him! He is soooo good looking, can you imagine in person?! wow. yeah soooo attractive. He signed my shirt and my ticket.. and let's just say I 'm in love. I guess he missed the memo that we were supposed to get married?...

Here he is! Isn't he a babe?! Also please notice the Brad shirt that will probably never get washed... there is the famous Easton signature on the shoulder where his hand is.

After that fabulous, couldn't get better, start to the night we got a delicious smoothie and found our seats, which weren't bad at all we were pretty close. Slight down fall, big huge beer bellied drunk man came and sat right down in front of us. Yeah the show hadn't even started and he was waaaasssted. Justin Moore got the party started with his redneck twang, which me and Mar love. Is it bad that I'm attracted to that?... Next Darius Rucker took the stage all relaxed and chill. He has an amazing voice and was so good live.

Finally, the moment we were all waiting for! Brad Paisley made a huge entrance and capture my complete attention for two more hours. Holy cow, I can't even express how good he was. He has so many hits every song was one you just wanted to belt out. He was honestly concerned about giving us a good concert and making it worth out money. About half way through the concert he walked down through the crowd like 10 feet away from us and went and played on a stage in the back. He said that when he was young he always sat in the back and so he thought he would come sing to them for a while. He is just so down to earth and so fun! He made a concert with thousands of people feel personal. Oh and also throughout all of this the our drunk friend kissed several people and almost squashed my mom several times.. we were a little worried. Oh concerts, aren't they great! So I considered myself a pretty big fan... "I thought I loved him then..." (one of his songs if you aren't aware) no. I didn't. Now. yes. I would go again in a heartbeat! front row next time though :)

All day Saturday we shopped... literally alll day. It was very successfull and by the time we were done my mom had gone back to her model days and shown us her "runway walk" in the middle of Dillards where Mara layed on the floor, literally full out sprawl. Oh and right before that me and my mom wrestled on a display bed in JCPenny. We were tired... I wouldn't have shared this weekend with anyone else and am really sad it's over.. I've been looking forward to it forever.

Here are some random things I want to remember so you can skip this if ya want:

My mom screaming "Who are you?! Why are you in my bed?" at me in the middle of the night because she thought I was a creeper...

Our room smelling like a burnt toaster and having to switch rooms at 3 in the morning.

Mara determined to get us out the parking lot even if it meant having a huge dent in the side of the car, road rage runs in the family...

Eating cheesecake and midnight while laying in bed :)

I love them :)
