~The Piano Guys! ~

I know that one of my very favorite things in all of the world is being with Clint...
It really doesn't matter what it is that we do as long as we are together.
We can have fun doing dishes, putting away laundry, or going to Home Depot at 9:30 at night.
 
In fact, now that we have children that are old enough to babysit for us, we try to take advantage of going ANYWHERE together and call it "a date!"
 
But this particular date that we went on was actually REALLY fun... and though it POURED rain on us and lightening filled the sky at times...we were so happy to be sitting in a beautiful place together and enjoying the moment. We both agreed that the rain just made it "more memorable." We will probably never forget our first concert to "The Piano Guys" at Thanksgiving Point in the storm...
We were in the beautiful outdoor amphitheater with the waterfall backdrop and a sea of umbrellas all around us! Here is just a glimpse of the crowd...but it was just this large on EVERY side!
 
 
 
So we found our plot of ground and cozied on in...
 
 
Then we started to get all CRAZY under the umbrella!!!
 (In lots of good ways;)
Lovely AND silly!!! :)
 
I know it sounds funny, but we were having so much fun under the umbrella, that I think we made for some great "Pre-Show" entertainment for the rest of the crowd!!! ;)
 
THEN...
Did someone say, "Piano Guys?!!!"
 
We were so excited for the concert to start and we smiled, laughed, clapped, and cheered all through the whole thing!
 Aside from our sore bottoms from sitting on the hard ground the whole time, it was an absolute delight and a real treat! (But then again, when you're with your best friend, it doesn't take much to get excited now does it? ;)
 
There were many songs that touched me, but one of my favorites was their version of
 "What Makes You Beautiful."
All 5 of the Piano Guys use the piano ~inside and out~ to create a rhythm and music. It was amazing AND it was their 1st ever LIVE performance of the song.
 (Which made us feel extra special of course ;)
 
So...after the dinner, the drive, the concert, and the rain...
we ran back to our car and held hands the whole way home.
 It was a lovely night.
I am so happy to be married to my best friend and that we have such a good time together. Clint ~ thanks again for all of the memories, I'm so glad I get to grow old with YOU!!!!!
