Brad Paisley!

A few months ago I got an e-mail from Zion's Bank saying if you opened up a new account, you could get tickets to a show at Usana this summer. One of the shows they were offering was Brad Paisley and we did need to open a new savings account, so I thought this would be a perfect Anniversary present for Tyson.

The concert was on Friday and I spent all morning getting ready! I took the Jeep to the carwash and while I was vacuuming out the inside, I noticed all these guys that were doing the same. It was like they were all getting ready for their hot dates. So I got kind of excited thinking that I had a hot date too, because we really haven't gone out like this for a while. When I got home I wiped down the whole interior and even cleaned the carpets of the Jeep! I could have just quit there because I felt like I had made a huge accomplishment! Then I put Easton to bed and actually got myself ready for once! I dropped Easton off at my mom's and met up with Tyson. We were so excited for our date! We met up with our friends Jordan and Corinna for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was DELICIOUS as usual! I could eat a million of their rolls. Then we car pooled out to Usana.

Jordan and Corinna
Amanda and Thomas met us there when they finally got through the terrible traffic! We were there way too early though so they didn't miss a thing!
Besides Justin Moore and Darius Rucker, we also got to experience this wonderful opening act that was performed on the railing 5 feet in front of us.
That was the beginning of my bad experience! I guess I haven't really been to a concert since I was 8 and my parents took me to Faith Hill. I knew there was going to be alcohol, but I was COMPLETELY unprepared for what I saw! People are out of control! Drunk people came crashing down into us when their crowd surfing didn't work out and people were spilling their overlflowing $8 cans of beer everywhere! I really hated every second of it! The people around us were smoking the entire time and Tyson kept having to take me for walks to get me out of it. I had to try not to cry the whole time because all I could think about was the fact that these are someone's babies acting this way and passing out all over the place!!!

I started having some major anxiety about my children's futures. (I know I'm a pregnant emotional wreck.) I needed someone to tell me that there was still good in the world! Thank heavens for the General Relief Society meeting the next day. My mom came down to go to our stake dinner and broadcast with us. We had a good time and heard some great messages. I felt much better after that.
While we went to the conference the boys went to the BYU game. (Tyson was really happier than he looks:)
Another fun filled weekend! Looking forward to conference weekend so we can just relax!

  2. You are so cute Court, I love your narration of getting ready for the big event. It's true, concerts would be a lot better if we could some how get rid of all the drunken lunatics! I like Tyson's goatee he's got going on, btw. And finally, yes, I am very excited for our party...it will just be a glorified game night, but still, it's gonna be so fun! I will get some assignments out to people soon!

  3. Do you sometimes only photoshop yourself in pictures so you're the only one who comes out looking normal? Thought we decided not to post that picture....

  4. I haven't had very "wholesome" experiences at Usana either. Suffice it to say, at the Kenny Chesney concert I went to, the girl next to me had tatoos in the most unusual of places...yes we saw all of her. Gag! Makes us glad to be who we are :)
