"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got"-Bon Jovi Yesterday around lunch, I got a text "Got Bon Jovi Tickets--want to go?" My reply: "YES!" Twenty four hours later, I met Luke, Blake and Julie and we headed down to Pepsi Center to see this legendary band.
The concert was AMAZING! There were so many reasons why! 1. It was Blake's first concert. Over the past several years, we have debated when he would be "old enough" to actually enjoy it. Today seemed like the right time and he had a blast! 2. Today would have been my grandma's 90th birthday. As a kid, my cousins and I were the "hotshots" and did shows on her back steps. The closing song on nearly every performance was "Livin' on a Prayer" so it made me smile and think of her when this song came around. 3. Club level tickets are amazing--lots of space in the seats and not as many people. We also had a straight shot of Jon Bon Jovi's rear end which was pretty impressive. (now his hair was another story....) 4. Life has been throwing a lot of stress my way, so it was amazing to just let go, sing like no one was listening and dance like no one was watching. A cold beer, good music, and two of my favorite guys helped fill my heart up once again too! This wasn't a planned spot on my list, but I left with such joy I decided it counted as a life list experience. I hope Blake looks back fondly years from now on his first concert and smiles too!
