One of the opening bands...

Brit bought this Monster t-shirt and a Skillet guitar pick :)

They got home around midnight and Brit was still completely stoked! She told me about everything that happened and how awesome of an experience it was. She's so passionate about music. She wants to continue learning how to play the guitar and has dreams of starting her own band. Sure wish David and Gretta lived closer:)

WooHoo! I have a happy girl. Well, I have two happy kids. Zachary spent the night with us and Mario Brawled with Cody until 11:00 and then they watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We all went to bed around 1:30 so today is lounge day. Zachary's back home. Bobby's asleep since he has to go into work tonight. I got dressed...then put pajamas back on :) Brit and I have looked through the pictures and she told me about all of the cool things that happened. Including being close enough to the stage to get John Cooper's sweat on them. She said that she usually finds sweat to be disgusting, but not his sweat. He's hot and awesome!
He's HAWESOME!

Britney's 1st Concert

Last Thursday was the day Brit started getting sick. Her fever was 103 all night. Friday morning, she felt better. Her fever was down. She was still coughing and had a sore throat, but definitely felt better. Saturday afternoon, Emily called to ask if Brit could go to a concert with her Sunday evening. I explained the situation to Emily and told her we would just have to wait and see how Brit felt. Plus we didn't want to get anyone else sick.

Brit was convinced we weren't going to let her go, but I can't stress enough how much she wanted to. We looked up the Rock & Worship Roadshow online to find out some details. She was so hopeful. Emily called back Sunday afternoon and Suzette and I talked about everything. I wanted them to have full knowledge of Britney's cooties. However, at this point we didn't know she had the flu. They decided they weren't concerned about getting sick, so we gave Brit the okay. She was SO excited!

Dave and Emily picked Brit up at 4:30 and she got home just before 11:00.

Two VERY excited girls!

Dave took these pictures at the concert. Thanks Dave!

Brit bought the poster for $5 and they signed it for her:)

I can't really explain how excited she was when she got home. That kid was glowing! She had the best time! Bobby and I hate that we weren't a part of her first concert. We'd always thought we would be the ones to take her, but I can't complain. What an amazing memory!
