A Fairy Tale Night

I've always loved Celine. She's just so amazing to me. So about a year ago, I bought tickets to see her in Nashville. This was a L-O-N-G time in waiting! January 13th finally gets here! About a week before, I had started having exciting dreams... like the ones you have when you're... you know... excited! Celine was my best friend in my dreams... I met her and we hit it off... BUT finally, January 13th came and I was awake at 5 am singing "I Drove All Night" in my head. When I bought my seats, I was thinking that there would be a section or two on the floor, then we'd be about middle way up the lower section. When we got there, we began looking for our seats, only to realize, that they were right in front of a platform that Celine would be standing on! We were like 10 feet from her! So we wait patiently for her to come out.... and when she did... WOW. It had been built up so much, and this dream came true... and I cried! The show was absolutely flawless... and we knew it was real because we could hear her natural voice when she sang on the platform before us! Poor Madison... he had one woman on the other side of him that was drinking and sobbing... me on the other side, wanting to sob but just tearing up instead to save myself the embarrassment, and then questionable guys on all sides of me that loved her as much as I do! He just laughed! During her first song, "I Drove All Night", the guy to my left leaned over and said, "Boy! She sure is hott, isn't she!?" And of course, I agreed! If I can look like that at 40, I can say that I'll be pretty dern happy! Throughout the show, I could hear comments around me, and somewhere behind me, someone stated, "She's so gangster, she don't even know how gangster she really is!". I laughed... and agreed... and honestly, there were so many amazing things about that show, that to list them all, would be simply impossible. The guy that sang R. Kelly's part on "I'm Your Angel" was fabulous. Her band ROCKED. The one thing I feel so dang sick about is that I followed a FLIPPIN rule and did not take my camera.(The last time I followed a rule and stayed honest, I ended up with detention because of being 2 minutes late for school.)  Everyone else around me snapped shots ALL night! However, I have about 3 photos taken from phone that don't come near to what I could have had, but the experience is what counts, right? For the record, I'm still floating on clouds about this show... and I have to do it again someday.  Madison enjoyed the show as well, even though he wasn't really a fan. This really was a night that felt like a fairy tale. 

                                            

If you pause at 2:54, I'm on the left side of the screen in a white shirt and black vest.
