Middle Age & Concerts

? Daron and I are going to see Blue October in June. I feel like we are finally letting go a tiny bit of our helicopter parenting (hovering). Don't quote me yet because we haven't yet attended the Vegas concert. It's in June. So I bought tickets online to lock us into going. They were $27. A few days later I thought where are our seats? Why didn't they give me options when I ordered?

So I looked at the venue. General admission. Standing room only. How long is this concert going to be? I started to panic! I have to stand for 4 hours? My back is going to be killing me. Can they smoke at the venue? Flashbacks of college bars with smoke billowing and my hair reeking of cigarettes all night and when I got home.... For $47 we could have gotten tickets in the balcony that allowed us "access to the bathroom, bar, outdoor patio..." Um Hello? I am a 46 year old woman I need access to the bathroom and if I don't want to be standing alone all night Daron needs a patio to go outside and smoke. Then I showed Daron we decided if I couldn't upgrade our tickets it is imperative to buy a new set. "Do they have snacks? Are they gluten and egg free?" Daron joked. " Can I bring my bottled water?" What if they have a laser show and blinking lights that trigger a migraine?

The place holds 3,000 people. Our town has 3-5,000. Oh my goodness. After living in the country for 10 years I don't want to be around crowds. Going to Target in St George which is 1.5 hours away is crowd enough!

Paint your pet party at Best Friends Visitor Center

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night! I am so blessed to be able to hold my Paint Your Pet Parties at Best Friends Visitor Center in town. It has been so fun helping people crate painting of hire pets. It's a cool concept. You modge podge a black and white print of your pet on a canvas and paint over it. So fun!

Best Friends Christmas Party

While I was parking the car Addy and Daron took a photo with Santa. When I got their they didn't want to take another photo. So I asked my friend Laura and Misses Claus to take a photo with me. So much for a Christmas Card family photo for next year!!! Oh well!
