AMAZING NIGHT!!!!

Erik and I went to see Celtic Woman last night. It was absolutely AMAZING!!!
Erik got home from work and quickly changed his clothes and the babysitter arrived right on time. We drove to Knoxville and figured out where we were going and got to the Coliseum to discover a huge line. Seeing that, we decided that we needed to park and go to will call to get our tickets right away. So, we're walking up to the line and are starting to think that we are in the wrong place. Tons of college age kids.....dressed like, um....not nice.....and crazy hair and piercings, etc. and we're like are these people really here to see Celtic Woman???? So, we get up to the will call office and discover that there are actually two events going on at the civic center and that yes, we were on the wrong side of the building. lol The kids we were seeing were in line for the Three Days Grace concert. lol That made MUCH more sense. So, we got our tickets......but were then kind of stuck there due to paid parking. We hadn't had dinner. Crap. So, we asked if they had concessions there and they said yes, so we were like okay a hot dog is better than nothing. WRONG. Their concessions were extremely limited. So, we had a dinner of coke, sun chips, goobers and cracker jacks. BLECH!!! Ruth's Chris just down the street was calling my name and this is what I got! lol Oh well! The rest of the evening was just amazing. The music was incredible and they've got such great energy. Especially the "fiddler" Mairead. She is awesome! :) Fiddling while dancing and jumping around....I could only wish for that kind of coordination! lol A couple of songs made me think of Mom and got the tears flowing. I was really glad we'd moved to an empty row of seats (across the aisle from our ticketed seats) so that I wasn't sitting next to a total stranger in those moments. ;) Mom would have loved it, for sure! :) It was a great night....so glad we got to go! :)

This is the song that sent me over the edge....You'll need to stop/pause my playlist music to hear it! :)
