The King of Country

Here's George singing his 57th #1 hit "I Saw God Today"


Matt surprised me with my very first Mother's Day gift of George Strait concert tickets, as in a previous post. For those of you who don't know me, he is my absolute fave. In one word, he is classic. Just classic. Every song he sang at his concert, I absolutely love. He has so many stinkin #1 hits (the most of any artist in ANY genre) that you can't go wrong by seeing him in concert. I have been wanting to see him in concert for a while now (last time I saw him was in high school). But, he always sells out within minutes and he hasn't been to Cincy in a while either. So, I hadn't been keeping up with his concert schedule and was sooo surprised when Matt and Brooks surprised me. What a special gift! Love, love, love, my sweet husband. Although, as Matt would say, "George is the only 60 year old man I would ever leave him for!" Well, not really - I would obviously never leave him for anyone, but George is quite a handsome older man I must admit. Now I just need to get Matt a cowboy hat, boots, wranglers, and one of those belt buckles! Matt has become quite the fan himself. Anyway, here are a few pictures from our incredible evening that I will always remember. Our first outing just the two of us since Brooks was born.

Happy Mother's Day



Mother's Day this year was extra special since it was my first one being a mommy. I am so thankful for the little blessing of Brooks and for my amazing husband. Brooks and daddy surprised me with the most wonderful gift. Something I have been wanting for a long time...George Strait tickets! It was so cute how Matt presented me my gift. He gave me my card and sat Brooks down next to me. He put in Brooks' lap an envelope that read, "To Mommy: From Brooks". It was so precious! I was so super surprised to open it to find the tickets. It was wonderful! Here's my little cutie patootie...
