Loving Josh Groban.

Now, it's not like anyone has to do a lot of convincing to make someone believe that Josh Groban has an incredible voice. We all love him; how can you not? Jonmark just happens to know him much better than I do. Which is why these tickets were a gift to him. As I mentioned in my paraplegic list (which by the way, almost none of you told me was awesome. And, well, it IS, and if you'd like to, you're more than welcome to 'cause I kind of love it.), so anyways, as mentioned in the list, sometimes you get amazing deals on floor seats because they are wheelchair accessible. Especially if you buy them 6 months early. We were on the 12th row. It was AWESOME.  :-) But I'm getting ahead of myself....
So, Jonmark arranged for us to be picked up by a driver in this fancy Yukon. He bought me a beautiful yellow rose, and it was so fun and fancy. The drive there was pretty uneventful. We got dropped off at one of our favorite restaurants (Jessica, you and I ate here!), and had an awesome dinner. It was kind of like the most relaxed prom ever. :-)

oohhh..... look who's coming to pick me up!

They actually took this away from me at the concert- they thought it was for Josh Groban! um, nope!
FUN!




We were dropped off first at this restaurant nearby called Hanny's. Love this place.
So romantic and so delicious. (And it was close enough to walk to the concert.)

(Somebody bronzed her legs for this....)

Salad- first course


This guy built the restaurant. He came over to talk to us while we told him how amazing it was and
how we love this place. He and his wife went to Groban, too. They were about 5 rows in front of us. 

Second course- Pizza. Yum. But we really needed chocolate. 

One of Two Desserts. The next was a cannoli. This thing was incredible. 

Ok, so sometimes I just take pictures of him when I think he's looking particularly hot. 
Then we walked over to Josh Groban. We ran into some people from my old ward, and my new friend Mandy was there with her sister, too. She was sitting right above the tunnel we came out of. The opener's name was Eric Lewis, or elew. You should YouTube him. He's amazing, even though he makes the craziest faces ever. :-)
And then, it was Josh's turn. He was so charming and so funny and everybody just loved him. And seriously, that voice. What do you do? One member of the audience got to sing a duet with him, and she actually did decent. And, I got the playlist from the security guard when it was over, which was cool. :-) Basically, we just had a blast. I couldn't stop talking about how close we were (I mean, I touched his shoulder!) and Jonmark was just thrilled. At the end of the night, we jumped in our Lincoln Continental and drove home. Absolutely perfect. :-

The secret tunnel that led us to Groban. 

SO AMAZING

Waiting to escort us home.....

So you think you're so COOL. Mom and I got to see Josh Turner at Maleluca Field! Ate left overs at home and then drove over in our 11 year Toyota Camry. Got to sit in lawn chairs in center field 100 feet from the stage, OUTSIDE!!! Yeah, I'm romantic and fancy!
