Josh Groban concert! And shopping! Although, the concert is unrivaled in my excitement, I was pumped to do a little shopping at one of my favorite stores: H&M. He truly planned a trip tailored just for me. In fact, our hotel was in the middle of everything we wanted to do.
We had dinner reservations at 5:30 at St. Elmo's. They're said to have the best shrimp cocktail, but it wasn't $15 good and it was SO SPICY! However, we had some good steaks and potatoes!
Oh, and did I mention, our seats were 10 rows back on the floor? Yeah, he went all out. And the concert was AMAZING. Josh (notice: first name basis) didn't sing "our" song, "When You Say You Love Me", but he sang a lot of our favorites: Bells of New York City (Waverly's favorite), Galileo, and Machine, just to name a few. It was awesome. You just had to be there. We plan to see him again in 25 years. He asked for a couple to join him and of course, we practically exploded out of our seats. He looked our way, but clarified that he wanted a couple who had been married for a long time. The couple he chose was married for 28 years. And next time, when he answers audience questions, I am going to ask if I can sing with him because another lady did and her wish was granted.
After the concert, although I was exhausted and fighting a migraine, we stopped for carrot cake at Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery. We took it "to go" and enjoyed it back at the hotel. 11 hours of sleep later, we headed out to do some shopping!
It was so wonderful and relaxing. Of course, I miss my girl, but I am so thankful that Chandler and I were able to enjoy "just us" time. Moms, you understand.
Wednesday night: P.F. Changs for dinner (gift card) and packing because we are leaving for Memphis in the morning. Busy week, huh? We have our IMB Expo this week; interviews, seminars, and hopefully we'll make new friends walking the same journey!
For your viewing pleasure...
Opening act.. Elew
