A night of passion...

Swoooooon....Last night was enchanting. Seriously magical. The hubs and I, sans kids, went out to Reno to be enticed by the sweet sounds of Il Divo. And let me tell you...we were enticed and entertained all night long!!


Apparently the Il Divo concert was the place to be last night. The hip crowd was there in full affect, hearing aids turned up and loafers shined to the max. The average age of the party animals around us had to be around 65 (no joke). They were tossing back shots of Ensure into the wee hours of the early evening like they were going out of style. We could barely hang!

The music, however, was incredible! We had awesome seats and were fortunate enough to make our way down to the front row. Whoop whoop!! They put on an amazing show and the only thing that could have made it better was if the gentleman in front of us would have stopped passing hot mustard with a touch of deviled egg stink bombs our way. Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln my eyes were watering and I'm pretty sure he singed all the hair in my nostrils. Pun-gent.

I think my favorite line of the night had to be when Guido (that's what we call him) asked the crowd in a sexy spanish accent: "Did you miss me?.... Did you miss....my curl?" The guy seriously has the best hair EVER!!

I even attempted to make Jordan jealous by letting this guy come down and grab my hand (yes that's my hand he's holding) while he sang to me. He even threw in a "Hi there...*wink*" (jealous?)


...but my husband was busy being enchanted by Guido who cast a spell on him by waggling his perfectly sculpted eyebrows at him...he's hypnotizing, isn't he?


BUT....the best part of the evening had nothing to do with the actual singing...let me preface this with a little background. The groupies of Il Divo are, um, different. Let's just say they're not the kind I'd like waiting for me back at the bus. One of these ladies took it upon herself to provide the fellas with a little entertainment of her own during one of the songs. Sorry for the crappy video!! Just look for the flailing body that's "dancing"... you won't regret it....



So all in all it was an awesome night! The ol' ball and chain and I had a blast screaming like little girls at a Jonas brothers concert and it gave us an excuse to be all kissy kissy face with each other. Plus I learned some pretty sweet dance moves...

  24. I can't believe you caught me on video...it's just that the music completely takes over my body. It's like...we are one...and I that's just how I move. Try not to be jealous.

    Speaking of jealous I'm slightly feeling that way since you got to have such an awesome time with your hubby sans kids! Lucky!!

  33. If your kids are toy story crazy then you need to watch for when Toy Story & Toy Story 2 will be playing in 3D together. It is supposed to be a limited time...2 weeks I think...but it is both movies for the price of one. We saw the preview when we went to see GForce!
