A couple of weeks ago I went to a Bon Jovi concert. I’ve always wanted to go to one of his concerts, since I was.. 13! I ended up going at 31 — hehe. I happened to tell my brother-in-law and he gave me tickets for his brother (my husband) and I for my birthday. I was so excited. I felt like a teenager again. Bomb threat aside, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely.
It’s the first time we were out together that long (seven hours!) without the kids. And my son is four and a half! We felt like a couple again, which was nice for a change. We won’t be doing that again for a long time, though, as we kept worrying about the kids, especially the youngest, who was only eight months old. However, when we got home, with Grandma, a.k.a. The Baby Whisperer as babysitter, all was well. She was sound asleep, as was Grandma. We’ve been married for eight years, and it’s wonderful to still be in love with your husband. We’ve been together for a total of twelve years now, which blows me away. I still get kind of giddy when I hear his voice on the phone.
Because of the bomb threat, we had to wait an hour and a half and ended up really talking to each other. Uninterrupted conversation! Imagine that. The car ride itself was two hours each way. I wanted to thank Bon Jovi for a terrific concert. Jon Bon Jovi was amazing. He has a real talent and professionalism, and he truly shines in concert. He really gave us all a gift of himself that night, and I will remember this concert as one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. No wonder he and his band are still around. And thank you, brother-in-law. You are the best!
