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...

Bow chika bow wow....

Ever since my magical love affair with my husband began, it has been amazing. Just oozing with romance I tell ya. Kissy kissy face. Rainbows and puppies and all that crap. I couldn't think of a better way to meet someone than online. Very not creepy stalker-ish at all. And who needs candlelight and roses on a date when you can go to Chuck E. Cheese on your first date instead...definitely sets the mood.

I'll never forget our exotic honeymoon. We drove to Utah, with our 2 yr old son, and Jordan's BFF Dizzle, to stay with my SIL (who I had never met, but now absolutely ADORE), in her basement (definitely not a boom boom room!ha!)....and here's the best part... Jordan went snowmobiling for 3 days while I hung out with my brand spanking new in laws! I think I saw him for like a total of 4 hours that whole time. ROOOOMANTIC! ***Disclaimer: he did end up making up for said 'honeymoon' with an amazing trip after, but that's neither here nor there.***

So you see what I mean...I'm swooning over here ladies! He always says the sweetest things to me too. Like today, he calls from work and says...

Him: Are you excited?
Me: For what?
Him: That you're gonna let me suck your big toe tonight, because ya know, daddy can suck a mean foot!
Me: (hangs up)

Then as I'm laying on the floor he says...

Him: I didn't know we were in Egypt.
Me: What the heck are you talking about?
Him: All this camel toe I see.

Thanks honey, way to make a girl weak in the knees. Sometimes he doesn't need words at all. Who can forget this tender illustration he made for me?

Yeah, it says I wanna bite your butt....bite marks and all... mmmhhhmmmm.

And to think, he's all mine. I'm a lucky girl. So why am I reflecting on all of this? Because my little Casanova decided to surprise me and get tickets to go to Reno to see these guys....

And this....is just another way my man's so dang romantic...because he'll take me to do the things he knows I love, even though it wouldn't be his first choice. In case you haven't heard Il Divo, they are AMAZING! (I have a very very broad taste in music). So this is where I will be tomorrow night...swooning over my man while listening to these incredible voices...I had better go to Wal-Mart and get some granny panties for Jordan to throw on stage while he screams like a pubescent teeny bopper. It's gonna be fabulous. Jordan if you're reading this...I love you...grrrr

In case any of you are DYING to hear Il Divo, and I'm sure you all are...here's me and my man's song...enjoy!
