Back in March, I bought tickets to see Elton John for Nick’s Birthday!  The concert was in Memphis and it was immediately after I was getting done with a work trip, so I rested as well as I could the night before for us to head out to Memphis early the next morning!  I wanted plenty of time to walk around Downtown a bit (big #FAIL) and visit Whole Foods!  

*Warning: Excuse the horrible picture quality!*

Of course, because of our early morning, we had to grab a starbucks!

On our way to downtown, we were stopped in traffic and our GPS figured we should probably get out and walk instead – luckily, the traffic let up pretty quickly and we continued on our way!

Before we actually went to the concert, we walked around downtown a bit, but it was ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE!!! We didn’t consider the fact that it was the day before St. Patty’s day and there were a bunch of shenanigans going on along with the concert.  It wouldn’t have been so bad if we had known it’d be like that and could have worn different clothes and prepared ourselves for it.  Don’t get me wrong, we enjoy a good block party and celebrating the good times, but doesn’t it make it more fun when you’re expecting to do that and can wear the proper attire and meet up with some friends?  It was just us, which was still enjoyable, but would have been more exciting with a lot of friends.  So we walked around for a bit, had a drink, and then tried to find some dinner before the concert (which was a fail… we literally were up to the register after waiting in line for 30-45 minutes at Lenny’s when they announce that they have nothing but salads left, which we didn’t want)  So we left and ate at the concert instead.

 Someone was SUPER excited!!!!!

 Our seats were really great!  We were straight on to the stage and had bars in front of us instead of people!

 

I was excited when I ran into this fun blog post idea hosted by From Mrs to Mama.  I’d like to introduce y’all to one of my very best friends and someone who knows me better than most, Nick!  He came up with some pretty fun things about me and I was laughing through most of it as I read it!  I asked him to have it to me by Friday.  When I talked to him the next day, I asked, “So, when are you going to get this to me?” He said, “Well, you said it didn’t have to be done til Friday, right?” Naturally, Saturday comes before I get the post! haha But then again, that’s why I gave an early deadline!
