Rascal Flatts

We really don't go out on dates very often. The whole getting a babysitter thing is easier to avoid. It ends up costing so much after the night is over that we usually just get a movie at home. Well, if we are going out, it's going to be good. So, we like saving up to go to a big concert or Broadway show or something like that. Living so close to Portland gives us the chance to see some really great shows.

On Friday night, Travis and I went to a great concert! We saw Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift.


It was so much fun! I loved the guitar solos! They gave a fantastic performance and the night just flew by. I wasn't ready to leave. I told Travis we could have bought all their cds for less than what we paid to go to the concert. We laughed and then after the concert was over I realized why I like to actually go to hear them live. I really like the energy of a live show. I like the emotion of it all. I like that some of the songs made me cry. I like screaming and dancing and cheering for the performers I really like. I love feeling the music. I think that is why I make Travis sit with me through the closing credits of a movie, too. The emotion is still there from the movie and I want to enjoy it.

I'm so glad you two were able to go to the concert...and that you had such a great time! Too bad I wasn't able to plan a business trip to Portland this past week and go with you guys...maybe next time! But thanks for the invite!
