The Whole Story: Future Mrs. Bret Michaels

Okay, okay, well maybe Bret didn't put a ring on it, but his hand shake was close enough for me! I'll get to that in a sec... :)

This past week has been non stop go, go, go. I feel as though it's all just a blur. We started the week with going to an awesome show. Bruno Mars played the Xcel Center and it was amazing. He is so talented and it was just an all around great performance.

Tuesday night we skipped karate class and caught a show at the Children's Theater. It was a production of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I will definitely take Sadie back there! She, along with the rest of the crowd was laughing the whole time and just really enjoyed herself. She loves going to events like that. If you have the opportunity, check it out; it was very good.

I just got home from one of the best 3 day (anniversary) weekends ever! My husband and I have been volunteering for the Lakefront Music Festival in Prior Lake every year. It doesn't ever really feel like much of a volunteer effort because truth be told, I would probably pay to have the chance to do this. We got to work back stage security for all of the shows. The headliner for one of the nights was Montgomery Gentry (country music duo and one of my husband's fav's) and the other night the headliner was BRET MICHAELS...my fav! Judge if you will, but I think being backstage for his show probably ranks in the top 10 best experiences I've had. Warrant and Firehouse opened up for Bret that night so it was a total 80's/early 90's rock-n-roll, hair-band kind of night. The weather was perfect and we had such an amazing time watching the entire show from back stage! I even got to briefly meet Bret. He gazed lovingly into my eyes and he shook my hand and was thanking me for volunteering. Anytime Bret, anytime... <3 <3 <3 I could go on and on about all the stories I have from the weekend, but I might save that for another time. I'll sum it up in one sentence; women become very trashy if they have liquor in their system and a serious urge to get backstage with the band. Yuck.

After all of the concert events, we took a drive north and had a little overnight for our 6 year anniversary (I can't believe it; time seriously flies by). We packed a lot into our time, did some golfing, caught a movie, and even gambled a little. At dinner that night, we over-heard an older couple talking about how they were celebrating their anniversary that night as well. So of course, my husband Chatty Cathy had to go and strike up a conversation with this couple who shared the same date as we did. By the looks of the two of them, I would have guessed they were married for about 40 years. Turns out, they shared the same date as well as the same year as we did. Both of their spouses had passed on, and they met each other on E Harmony! The old man was so proud to tell us this story, and they were just the cutest!

Today, I was so eager to go and pick up Sadie! Two days without seeing her is too much for me. We picked her up and spent the whole afternoon at the zoo and let her go on a few rides.
