Great concert!

So, B's favorite band (or at least one of them) is Pearl Jam. 

A few months ago when my mother was in her car wreck we were driving back from Athens, GA and he mentioned that they were going to be at Music Midtown in Atlanta.  I asked if he'd like to go and of course he said yes.  So, that's what we did.  A loves to help me plan things like this - so she was all over it.  Booked the hotel and got the tickets and then all we had to do was wait for the date.

It seemed like an eternity and then it was only a week away, then only a few days away and then OMG!  It's here!

B was SO EXCITED.  I cannot tell you how awesome and wonderful it was to just see him like that, let alone be WITH him.  He was jumping around and singing his heart out and the crowd was so energized - it was just an all around amazing time with him.  My favorite part was seeing him so excited.  I mean, I like Pearl Jam and all, don't get me wrong.  I am just not as passionate as he is about them.  I didn't realize he'd never seen them in concert before and that just made it extra special.  Doing that for him made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I am so thankful for him.  He is so good to me.

I have an issue with large crowds of drunk people.  It causes me some anxiety.  Throughout the show B was checking in with me, asking me if I was ok, standing behind me and making sure I knew he was there.  I am happy to report that in a sea of 50,000 people it was almost as if he and I were the only ones there.

I am so thankful for A.  She is also so very good to me.  It was so nice to be able to chat with her and tell her how much fun we were having and her be excited for us.  She has no idea how special that is to me.  I enjoyed chatting with her Sunday morning while B slept.  I enjoyed texting with her at random times while we were gone.  I enjoyed being able to call her up and just hold the phone out so she could hear the show.  I just love her.  Simply put.

So, it was a great weekend, to say the least.

In 8 DAYS B and I head off to a cabin for a few days.  It's going to be similarly awesome!  I am bummed that A cannot go as this was originally planned a trip for the three of us to Vegas.  Boo.
