Crazy Love

Last Saturday night my long-awaited Valentine's Day present from Don came to fruition. We got a babysitter, went to a nice dinner at Piatti, and headed to the AT&T Center to see Michael Buble' in concert. Five months is a LONG time for a girl to have to wait for a present but I've had more than one time in my life where I've had to wait, so I consider myself an old pro when it comes to the waiting game. Bitter, party of one, your table is ready.

Sorry. I digress. I had our babysitter take a couple pictures before we left the house because I'm trying to get better at remembering to have pictures of us taken together...

I changed them to black and white and if you saw the combo we had on in color, trust me, you'd thank me for it! Don used to sneakily color-coordinate his outfits with me before church or other occasions when we'd be seen together. He didn't do that on Saturday and we CUH-LASHED in a big way! My apologies to anyone who sustained a headache or psychadelic reaction from seeing my zebra print dress, red accessories and wedge sandals (I packed flip flops in my purse to walk back to the car in because I'm OLD and can't do heels), and Don's CONSTRUCTION zone orange shirt all together. Oh yeah, did I mention I forgot to change out of my lavender and white print handbag? Yikes, where's Stacy and Clinton when you need them? However, the name of Michael's tour is Crazy Love and boy did we fit that! Please don't get me wrong...I LOVE Don because he is not AFRAID to wear color.

We had a great dinner and on the way to the concert I started messing around with my little, lightweight, old point and shoot digi camera.




You can't tell we don't get out much can you? I'm pretty sure I saw some of my spinach salad on one of the pictures of me. Oops...Like I said, we're sooo crazy...

It was a great evening! The opening act was a group called Naturally 7 and let's just say they've mastered the art of beatboxing. I was going to call them an a cappella group but that really means without the sound of instruments and this group made ALL the instrument sounds WITH their voices, so I guess beatboxing is a closer description or perhaps a vocal band. It was super entertaining and they were very talented.

Then Mr. Buble' came on and he is wonderful live and in concert! I am not an avid concert-goer but I know that live and recorded don't always sound the same. However, he sounded incredible live. I was really surprised by how talkative and personable he was and how much he interacted with the audience. I am sorry I don't have any pictures to share of the adorable Canadian swooner live and in concert. I assumed cameras wouldn't be allowed, so I didn't bring mine. For the first time, I snapped a couple of pictures and video clips on my phone--a feature I didn't know I had--and now I don't know what to do to get it off of there...(Seriously, we don't spend a lot of money on technology and gadgets in our household!) Anyway, I'm pretty sure any picture I took on my camera looks like the psychadelic blur of our previously referenced outfits in color...But his website was so kind to let me download these.



I know I may be over emphasizing how dreamy he is but, honestly, I really was just glad to be on a nice, fun date with my hubby and am truly thankful for his thoughtful present to me AND the means to be able to have a night out on the town together.

Warning: Shameless self-promotion...I'm trying to catch up on Lindy's blog and will be blogging a thing or two on mei mei's soon. Check them out--if you want--for more news about what's going on with our family.
