First Date Day Part 2

 Sundance Resort is a beautiful place. Wow

Here we are before the concert started. 

Lori Sang so beautifully.

 Seriously she plays the guitar so beautifully.

 The tunes she writes on the guitar are so beautiful. 

I've said that word 3 times but it's true.

 I loved listening to the stories she shared. She is a great story teller.

 After the concert was over she stayed up there and if you wanted to go meet her you could!!!

 I did not know this was going to be the case.

 I was wishing and hoping we could meet her but didn't know. 

I was squeezing her shoulder so hard. She is so little and cute.

 I'm glad I didn't wear heals. 

I told her she sounded beautiful  and thanked her for coming to Utah. 

I told her how much I loved her music and that I had all her CD's. 

I told her she inspired me and gave me courage.........

I WISH!

 I WISH I WOULD HAVE SAID ALL THOSE TRUE AND RATIONAL THINGS!

Let me show you what really happened.

I kind of lost my grip on reality. 

I was so shocked and happy I got to go up there and meet her I sort of freaked out a little.

All the times her music or an interview of hers has helped  me move forward came flooding into my mind. 

I felt like she was my good friend but I wasn't hers. 

That felt weird and I didn't like it. 

She didn't know who the heck I was. (again, that felt really weird. How could she not know we are like best friends! I mean tight!)

  And there I was crying and saying............. I don't even know what I was saying. 

I know I talked too fast and intense. 

Look, she is touching my arm in that picture. :)

I wish I could have a re-do of that moment, and have it in slow motion so I could remember everything and say what I wanted to say. 

Be in the moment and not cry.

 Teary eyed would be fine but not cry where your voice goes shaky and squeaky.

Here I am screaming and trying to get a grip on myself for the picture.

She is laughing.

 I felt amazing in this moment. 

Can you see it on my face? 

I can. 

As I was walking away I was saying to Nate, I wish I wouldn't have cried.  

A nice lady who went to hear her sing Thursday and Friday night (why didn't I think of that?!!!) came up to me and said when she met her the night before she lost it and cried too. 

That made me feel better. 

Nate and I stayed in our own little beautiful cabin in the woods.

With a river rushing behind it. The sound was so nice to fall asleep to.

And a sky light over our king size comfy bed.

As I was falling asleep I could see one tiny star. 

And a deck to listen to the river and the birds and read the paper.

It was very romantic and dreamy and we were in love. 

We are always in love but isn't it the greatest when you know how much in love you really are......
