Concert Fun

Justin and I used to be regular concert goers BC.  We've been to countless concerts together throughout the years seeing a variety of genres.  Country, pop, rock and roll.  Living in the Iowa City area we had countless opportunities to see shows in Iowa City and the Quad City area.

However, having a family really cuts down on your concert going.  I think we have attended 2 concerts together within the last 6 years.  Both being quite epic, (Kenny Chesney-6th time, and Jimmy Buffet).  I have a short list of concerts I want to go to before it's too late and a couple acts I'd like to see again.

I've always had a love for Taylor Swift. Who would have thought, 10 years ago when she released her song "Tim McGraw" she would become as big as she is now. She is a great role model for young girls, has no trouble giving back to the community, and is so down to earth with a quirky personality.  Plus, she is extremely talented and writes every single one of her songs.  Pretty impressive.

I have a lot of trouble spending money on myself so when I knew she was coming to Des Moines for her new tour, I didn't even think about getting tickets.  I was completely surprised when Justin bought me tickets for Mother's Day!

Now, he had no interest in going so I needed to determine who to bring with me.  I decided to invite my dear friend from high school who I have known since we were 4 years old in dance class together.  We enjoyed a nice dinner out before the show and had a fabulous time at the concert.

It was an awesome concert!  It definitely ranks up there in my top 3 concerts, (behind the U2 concert-that concert is probably unbeatable!).  It was a perfect evening out!
