Girls Night Out

What a wonderful weekend!  Jameson and I made the road trip back to my parent's house for a fun filled weekend.  Friday night my mom, Kaylin, Melissa and myself were going to see Miranda Lambert and Saturday we had Jameson's 6 month pictures!

After a very 'snowy' and windy road trip, Jameson and I made it to my parent's house safe and sound.  I was a little nervous traveling in bad weather by myself with an infant, but in the end we made it; it just took us what seemed like FOREVER to get there.

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was for Friday night!  I was excited to see Melissa and Kaylin, see a great concert, spend time with my mom and most of all, have a GIRLS night out!  I couldn't have asked for a better night!  We had so much fun!

We started our night at John's Bar.  KQ98 was hosting a pre-party for the concert and of course giving away backstage passes, ticket, clothing...you name it, they were giving it away.  So, as soon as we walked in the door, we threw our names in the drawing to win backstage passes (they were for Chris Young or Jerrod Niemann - Miranda's openers) 

 John's Bar Pre-Party

Shortly after we put our names in the drawing, it was time for the first drawing.  And of course, guess whose name was called? MY MOM's!  She and another gal had to play rock-paper-scissors (RPS) to see who would get to choose a Chris Young CD first.
**Game Rules - pick one of two CD's.  Open the CD on the count of three and whomever has the "golden ticket" in their CD case would get to meet Chris Young**
So, my mom lost RPS, and had to take whichever CD the other gal did not choose.  So, on the count of three...  1...2...3.. OPEN

You are seeing that correctly... MY MOM WON!  She was going to meet Chris Young! 

L-U-C-K-Y

It was then time to try and win backstage passes to meet Miranda!  Rather than playing the "CD Game" KQ98 decided to play a scavenger hunt game.  (Craziness all around I tell ya!)  Kaylin was lucky enough to be one of the contestants (only 10 got to play and they eliminated one person each round - there were 10 rounds- and the last person "standing" won the pass)

Kaylin did a FANTASTIC job, but unfortunately, she got eliminated in round 7 (after collecting men's pants, a gift card, a Miranda ring tone, camo hat, animal print bra... and so on)  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!



Well, my mom had to leave the bar a little early to head backstage, so Kaylin, Melissa and I stayed and enjoyed a few more cocktails.  We then made our walk over to the La Crosse Center to watch the concert.

Jerrod Niemann was the first to go on...  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  (not to mention, he was pretty good eye candy)

It was then Chris Young's turn to rock the house!  I LOVE Chris Young and he did not disappoint!  He could have played all night and I would have been satisfied!  (Yes, you are seeing that correctly, he is wearing #12!)

Miranda was wonderful!  I have seen her a couple times prior to this concert, but this by far, was the BEST!  She was AWESOME!  She had the crowd out of their seats, singing and dancing for over 2 hours! 

All in all, the night was so much fun!  A HUGE Thank You goes out to Kaylin, Melissa and my mom for such a great time.  We have to do it again sometime REALLY soon!
