Dierks and Miranda

Last Thursday I had tickets for the Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert Locked and Reloaded Concert.  I was so excited and had been looking foward to this concert for months.  Well in the beginning of the week the meteorologist were predicting a major winter storm headed our way for Thursday during the day.  Normally, I get worked up and worried about winter weather but there was a whole week for the weather to change.  Which it did...all week predictions were changing and were all over the place.  By the time Thursday came they said the snow was going to come in the evening at a rate of 1-2 inches an hour.  Kari and I debated what we were going to do.  We contemplated having John drive us over and pick us up but in the end Kari drove us over.  On the way there it had started to snow but the roads weren't too bad.  Thanks goodness.

We decided to stop at Applebees for a drink.  We split a delicious perfect margarita.  Yum I haven't had one of those in forever.  We sat at the bar.  We weren't there for more than 5 minutes and this girl in the picture above sat down beside us.  Crazy, small world.  Amber is one of my sister's friends and was actually a bridesmaid with me in my sister's wedding.  Her and her hubby (who is cousins with my good friend Erin) drove down from MN for the concert.  It was fun to see her and visit with them.  The we headed to Hilton Coliseum for the concert. 

Oh my goodness, the concert was so good!  Dierks was AWESOME.  I knew going into it that I would enjoy Dierks more than Miranda and that was true.  His songs are so much fun!  I went to Gary Allan the other weekend and his concert was good too but Dierks can work the crowd WAY better than Gary.  Plus Gary's songs are a lot more depressing.  Miranda's half of the concert was good too but I am just not as familiar with her songs so it was more difficult to get into it.  We had pretty good seats in the lower level.  Thanks Kari for going with me!  I had such a good time.  It was a good thing that we ended up going and didn't back out because the roads weren't even that bad and we made it home safe and sound!
