Wednesday night entertainment

A busy Wednesday, Garrett's sudden stomach virus that mimicked appendicitis*, and the threat of traffic on a long drive almost kept up from going.

But then we would have missed this:

The American Idol star came to Houston (well, Beaumont, but it was worth the drive and the stop at the scary grocery store for chocolate donuts and Advil) and my awesome friend, Kim, had tickets. Okay but seriously, Kim has crazy connections and when she calls and says,
"do you want to go see David Archuleta"
she really means it.
That's us, in a photo op

ON ARCHULETA'S TOUR BUS.

Me, Kim, David, and his back up singer, Kendra.

I know. You SO want to be me. Or really you want to be Kim, so you can stand next to him. Seriously, what a fun night. We were like teenagers- squeeling the whole way home. Then we turned back into Moms.

Thanks to our men who made it work for us to go, sick kids and all. Thanks to Kendra for getting us up close, and thanks to Kim for taking me along!

*Garrett's doing much better. He perked up and the pain subsided shortly before we decided not to cancel our plans. The nurse is pretty sure it's a virus that's going around school that causes sharp abdominal pain. It should go away on it's own soon.

Okay, super jealous! Good thing you're already married, because I've reserved him for my sister Alyssa!

Too fun! How come those things never happen when you're really a squeeling 16-year-old who dreams of such things...

Lindsay said...

So fun Mary! I am glad Garrett is feeling better and that you didn't have to cancel your trip.

Wow! So lucky! And that is a long drive to Beaumont. That's a weird place to perform instead of Houston. Glad Garrett is okay!

Fun! I love David Archuleta! Did you know that your Aunt Margaret is all buddy-buddy with him from MHS? ;) Pretty cool. We all need those nights to go out and feel like giddy teenagers again! I'm glad you could go!
