Bon Jovi

Tuesday night, Matt told me he had a dinner for work to go to. Our friend Suzzette came over to babysit and we headed out. When we got to the downtown area there was special event parking everywhere. I told Matt something must be going on so I was bummed we would have to pay extra for parking. He was like, "Yea, looks like something is going on. I think the hockey team is in the finals. They must have a game." As we are walking toward where he said we were eating I noticed some girls dressed really nicely. So I told Matt it couldn't be a hockey game, and maybe it was a concert. He agreed. As we are walking by the arena I say something like, "If you are gonna go to a concert, you better see someone really cool like Bon Jovi." (I've told him this before.) Unbelievably, when we get to the front there are all these Bon Jovi tents selling shirts and stuff. I couldn't believe it! I told Matt that was so funny I just said I would like to see Bon Jovi and we were walking by their concert on our way to dinner. He's like, "Maybe we could skip dinner and go." I tell him no because we couldn't skip his work thing and besides getting tickets would be so expensive from a scalper. He's like, "I know, but you want to go." I tell him it's ok the at we can't. He's like, "But I already have to tickets," as he pulled two tickets out of his pocket. I couldn't believe it. I was so shocked. He apparently got the tickets the beginning of Jan and never hinted about it this whole time! Later he asked me why I hadn't screamed with excitement because I was so shocked (I was saving it for Jon of course!) It was such a fun time. I loved it. Matt is so great. I couldn't have been more surprised. And my voice was actually a little off the next day from screaming and singing along. Some might think we are too old to be screaming like crazy at concerts, but hey, it's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live for ever! I just wanna live like I'm alive (Sing it Jon!)
