Frustrations!

So today we finally went to Verizon and gave our fancy phones back.  We were so sick of dealing with it and decided we did not want to pay the extra money if we were going to have so many problems.  We decide to get Chocolates.  I really really like it.  BUT they only had two colors.  Black and a Aqua color.  I of course chose black, cause Dustyn wanted the other one.  Well it turns out that what they consider black was actually Navy Blue.  I hate navy blue.  But it's all good.  Even though Dustyn's phone is so much cooler.

Then we get to our hotel.  We bought our rooms on Priceline.  I spent a little extra money to get a nice room since it was going to be our last weekend away.  Well we get here and they have a lame double queen for us.  Huh?  Ummm...  No.  Apparently they gave our nice suite to someone else.  Grrr...  very frustrating.  So we spent extra money for nothing.  Finally they decided to give us another suite that is lame.  Nothing like what we paid for.  Tomorrow they said we could move into the room that we actually paid for.  I am so annoyed.  They can't refund our money or anything because we pre-paid through Priceline.  They don't understand why I am upset.  I mean if I would have known I was going to get a lame room, I would have paid for the cheap one in the first place.  Instead of paying a lot for what we got and could have paid less for.  

And it's dirty.  Grr...

Tim in Concert

Of course, ya'll know I love, love Tim McGraw.  Always have and probably always will.  I was so excited to be able to go to his concert last Friday.  I won't even tell you how many I have attended, but more than I can count on one hand.  Bad, I know.  I was super bummed last year though, when Tim and Faith were in concert for the last time together and we got tickets (Luckily we were able to go see them the year before.  I am pathetic, I know).  We ended up giving them to my parents - thinking we would be in Pennsylvania.  When we were in Pennsylvania, we were just chillin' in Pittsburgh and what do we come across . . . the Tim and Faith concert.  I almost stopped.  But I didn't.  

Anyways - we had a ton of fun!  It all started with my driving to pick up Dustyn!  Yay!  It was his last week of camp and he finally is home for the summer.  What a great way to start of the summer, huh?  So I picked Dustyn up and we drove up to SLC.  We checked in at the Red Lion Hotel.  (sweet deals on Priceline - check it out)  Dustyn got cleaned up and ready.  We headed off to dinner.  My brother, Jace and his date, Adrian, were meeting us for dinner.  We went to the Spaghetti Factory.  Yum!  I love it!  Then off to the concert we went.  

Here we are driving in all the traffic.  Blah.  But Jace tried to make it exciting.  He was almost out of gas.  So we sat idling in traffic waiting to run out of gas.  Fun times!

 
First we saw Halfway to Hazard.  I have never heard of them before Friday.  They were probably alright, but the sound was horrible and I couldn't really hear them.  Plus I was more entertained by all the people around me (bad habit of mine).

Next was the reason Jace came along.  Jason Aldean.  He was good.  I love most of his songs and the other ones, I am just not familiar with.  But he was fun.  His guitarist CRACKED-ME-UP.  Again totally distracted by other people.  
Here we are. Every one needs a photo, chubby chin and all. (And my MAJOR bad hairday. Blah!)
Oops. Missed.

There we go!


Last and certainly not least, Tim McGraw.  His show was awesome.  The sound was perfect.   Not too loud, but loud enough and you could even hear him sing (or forget the Lyrics about three times.  lol)  He has a new album coming out (YIPEE) and he sang a few songs off there.  Awesome.  I am already loving his new album.  I know, I am crazy.
Too bad we didn't have our nice camera.  Just my little point and shoot.  But then again, I guess I probably wasn't suppose to have that.  Ha ha.

But then again, I was totally distracted by all the drunk people around me.  There was this guy that totally hooked up with this girl in like 5 minutes.  That made the night quite interesting.  We were all amazed as we watched it happen.  I mean that really happens?  Seriously people.  Ha ha.  

But it was for sure good times.

It took us quite awhile to get out of the parking lot all the while watching the low fuel light.  But we made it.  

I can't wait until he comes back on tour with his next album!  :)

Stay tuned - more updates coming later tonight.  So much to blog about.
