Waiting For A Concert... Hey It Was Free, Okay!

It was cold outside and there we were waitin' in the line which felt like a couple miles long. Just us two since the baby was havin' a blast at the chapel fun night. So there we were waitin' in the cold outside (a whoppin' 40 or 50- something: freezing the few of us who can't stand the weather to be less than 60 something) just the two of us. Jeremy Camp- here we come! or so we thought. There were hundreds if not a couple thousand people in front of us in line. So even though we really didn't talk that much while we waited- my mind was wandering. And so I wandered- thinkin' about how much fun it used to be to go to concerts. We had only been to two where we were actually at the same event and they had been a blast. We didn't have to wait this long in line because they hadn't been free. So it was kinda like being in college for an hour or so- the excitement of seeing a concert again. I put my hand in your pocket to keep it warm and I sang "You are my sunshine" a couple of times which I think either thoroughly amused you or thoroughly embarrassed you. I took a few pictures along the way so we could remember how dumb this was to wait all that time just to see one man sing, but you really wanted to see this guy sing because he's your favorite musical artist ever. We eventually left because they weren't letting anyone else in- anything free is bound to fill up fast- right? So we got in the car- you're sulking a little and talking about how Cornerstone Church should've done a better job at making this happen so thousands of people -like us- wouldn't have wasted their precious time standing in line and not gettin' to see what they waited for, but we're off to reality and a fun-filled time with other families and children. No more waitin'. :-D But even if we had to wait a little longer- there's no other person I'd rather wait with than you. :-D (on the upside- I got to see a Smart car up close and personal which made my time waitin' almost worth it)
