27 feels so great!

Well, yesterday was my 27th birthday! My husband is so amazing! He gave me a full birthday weekend that was so crazy awesome!!! It started on Friday when we went to see the new Batman movie. (I am a super crazy fan of super heroes) :) Then had a wonderful dinner. Then the next day was one of the best days ever! He got us front row tickets to the Journey concert. (THE BEST BAND EVER!) so we got to see Loverboy and Pat Benatar, who opened for them, then sat within about 2 feet of where Arnel Pineda (lead singer for Journey) came up twice to shake hands and high five the crowd on a few different occasions throughout the concert. It was amazing to say the least! Then a wonderful Sunday beginning with church and ending with swimming at Donny's grandparents' house. It was pretty much a PERFECT weekend.

Well, I noticed I had not blogged much lately and that is because with a conference this weekend that we have been planning and preparing for hte last few weeks in a ddition to several other HUGE things going on in our lives, I have just been really busy but I do have a post that I will be posting some time next week that I just have to finish so check back Monday or Tuesday next week and it should be up! Hope everyone is having a great summer and staying comfortable in the heat!!!

Here are some pictures of the concert:

Me and Donny waiting outside the gate in the blazing heat. (Not the best part of the evening)


Loverboy opening. Didn't know their name but knew several songs. They were great!

Pat Benatar sang all her best hits! She was AMAZING! Got an encore performance. Definitely will have to go see her any time she tours. 

Pat Benatar's guitarist and husband, Neil "Spider". He was AWESOME! Donny said if we were to have another boy, we would name him "Neil Spider". :) 


And our boys! Journey's lights were so crazy it was hard to get a good picture with just my iPhone so I mostly took video.

And Deen Castronovo on drums. I was a little bummed he didn't sing his song "Mother Father" but the disappointment doesn't hold too well when the concert was so great! maybe next time. :)

And here is a video of Arnel Pineda right up close to us. I was standing up close to him while he shook hands then right at the end, Donny bumped me and said, "Put your hand up" but as soon as I went to do it, he started walking back. :(



And that was my birthday weelend! Hope all your weekends were good too!
