Here's to the Good Times and Four Meet and Greet Passes...

This past month I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line before they went on stage and blew everybody away.  I was completely caught off guard when they both extended a hand, introduced themselves (as if I had no idea who they were), stared me in the eye and repeated my name to themselves.  These true southern gentlemen know how to make every fan feel important as they wrap their arms around you to take a quick picture.  But let me tell you, they also know how to make you feel short!  Holy cow they are tall and fit.  I'm only 5'5", but they both have to be at least 6'3".  Basically, I will not be challenging them to basketball anytime soon.
After meeting them both, they are the kind of people you want to spend all day out on the lake with, and then spend all night by the fire talking.  But don't get any ideas ladies, both of these handsome gentlemen already have special ladies in their lives!  If you have not had the great opportunity to see Florida Georgia Line live, add it to your bucket list.  They know how to make you dance, give you goosebumps, and have a flat out great time.  I saw them first on Luke Bryan's Dirt Road Diaries tour, then twice in Nashville over the summer, and finally in my home town last month.  They have worked hard to get to where they are today, and they deserve the recognition they have finally started to receive in this past year.  
Make sure you grab a ticket for the Here's to the Good Times tour and give your love to BK and THubbs.

"If you never try, you have already failed." -Unknown

This is it.  We are starting down a path that none of us knew we would venture down, but all of us have been drawn to.  At this point in my life, I have been blessed to experience a multitude of concerts and venues with six of my best friends and family.  We are addicted to the adrenaline rush, that overwhelms our bodies, as we see our favorite virtuoso emerge from the smoke, and we hear the first chords ring out.  These single moments have turned into experiences and memories that will not easily be forgotten.  What makes it worthwhile is the amount of laughter and fun we have on concert day, and our singing voices.  Let me just tell you that we considered being a band, but we didn't want to embarrass the current musicians with our awesomeness.  Our desire is to share with you our greatest experiences, and the ones that could have gone better, (which are few).  I am excited to see where this journey takes us, and I am ecstatic to have you along for the ride.
