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.

So glad you had such a good time. You deserve it! I remember the first time I left my "little one" for the first time. Always glad to get back home. You look great, by the way. Love you much!
