Here's to the Good Times 🎶

How is it September already? I blame our crappy/cold spring, most notably the month of May for shortening the number of summer days we could enjoy to the fullest. BUT enjoy summer I sure did! It was full slightly stressful at times while filled with adventure, celebration, family, friends, country music, happy and sad moments, and of course, a little wedding planning! 

I feel like summer really started with our trip to Nebraska for my cousin's wedding at the beginning of June. Like I said before..it was a great weekend with family. I love weddings. I also love country music. Like- a lot. Oh, and beer! Summer nights drinking nice cold beer with people you love really puts me in my happy place. So imagine how I felt back in June when we had tickets to a weeks worth of country music concerts! 

Steamboat days is a town celebration of sorts where they have carnival rides and other events going on during the day ending every night with a concert. My older sister is relatively new to town so she invited us and my younger sister B down to participate in the festivities! Schedule permitting, Derek and I were able to make it to 3 of them (well, kind of). The weather was gorgeous the first day...until it wasn't and we got caught in a giant freezing downpour! We were soaked to the bone but that didn't stop us from getting our drink on when Florida Georgia Line came out and it. Was. AMAZING! I drank,danced, and sang my butt off! 

I recommend everyone buy tickets to FLGAL. Those boys really know how to put on a show! They will have you singing at the top of your lungs and dancing your tails off. Guaranteed. 

Friday nights entertainment was the magnificent Eli Young Band with the Saturday show being Kid Rock. Eli Young was as great as I expected, obvi. I want to be able to tell you Kid Rock rocked my socks off as well but we let the rain, thunder, and lightening get the best of us as we had already sat through a downpour once that week and were (at least I was) still slightly hungover from Eli Young. So, when the storm started while we were waiting we stuck it out for a solid hour and half before we decided the concert would be canceled for sure so we bailed. Soaked, freezing, and tired we headed to Walmart to find food to make and a movie to watch instead only to find out circa 11pm Kid Rock actually hit the stage. Ya know what though? I wouldn't trade any of it for anything! Every moment of that weekend was incredible and filled my happy tank!

Before the rain fell...

During a clearing in the storm and already soaked to the core...

Rain or shine NOTHING beats a summer country concert with some of your favorite people...so... Until next summer I guess ;) 

Peace and blessings ;)
