Keith Urban and Birthday Fun

To celebrate our birthdays, my sister (Beth) and I decided to get tickets to the Keith Urban concert. This was my fifth time seeing him (Beth's 3rd), and he always puts on such a great show. We got to the concert a bit early, so we decided to take some pictures...

...in front of Keith Urban's tour busses...

...and in front of these huge posters they had outside the ESA.

We also decided to go see what was happening around the radio station booths. We figured that maybe we could get a free t-shirt or something. Lucky for us, we did much better than a free t-shirt...we got upgraded tickets! A few minutes after we went over to KBUL-93, they started asking if anyone wanted better seats to the show. They then asked if there was anyone who had section seats with three numbers (meaning they were upper bowl). People started calling out which row they were on, so Beth and I looked at our tickets and realized they were in section 140, row 18. We started screaming that we were row 18, but they couldn't hear us, so Beth ran to the front with our tickets. She was able to get their attention, and after she told them that we had horrible seats and that we were both celebrating birthdays that week, they gave us tickets for section 18 row 11...WAY BETTER SEATS!!! We were so excited!

The concert was amazing. Keith is so interactive with the audience, which makes it so much more fun. He came out into the audience several times to play songs. After his second encore was over, he stayed out on stage so that he could sign autographs for his fans.


Seriously, such a great show. If you are a country music fan, you need to put a Keith Urban concert on your to-do list.

When I came home from the concert, I discovered that Mike had baked me a cake and had birthday presents waiting for me. It was such a nice surprise! He also "helped" Faline frame a picture of herself and write a note, which said, "Dear Mom, I asked Dad to frame this for me at the last minute. I don't have any money, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Love your puppy, Faline." The note made me laugh and I thought it was so thoughtful of Faline to "think" of that all on her own. :)

We finished up the birthday celebrations by going to Macaroni Grill for dinner with the Sandersons, Olsens, and Barbara on Friday and then getting together with my family on Sunday to celebrate Beth, Khemia, and my birthdays. Such a fun week!
