American Idol Live Tour...

Yes, Todd and I are "teeney-boppers" at heart, at times (he would die if he knew I just blogged that to the entire blog-os-spere, ha)! Especially when it comes to the popular show, American Idol. We are those grown ups, who faithfully watch it every season and sit on our couch and text/vote for our favorite singers from week to week!

Last year we went to their American Idol Live tour at American Airlines Center and loved it! So this year we decided to go again! The concert is the top 9 finalists and the winner. They tour singing a few of their favorite songs. It ends up being a great mix of all kinds of music, from John Lennon to Beyonce to The Fray and Santanna...etc! We know the lead guitarist for the American Idol band and he hooked us up with backstage passes. It was really great. We got to meet and hang out with the idols for about an hour.
I think that in a marriage it is important to have a few things that the both of you enjoy doing together. Something other than your children or your immediate family...something just for the two of you to share and have fun doing. For Todd and I, some of those things seem to be Nascar, and American Idol....SOOOOO random, I know! But, hey...it works for us!

Here are a few pics from our night!

Todd & Leah before the concert began...isn't my honey soooo cute in his funky new glasses for casual wear...

All ten "idols" doing" their thing...what a fun group..her they were singing Journey's, "Don't stop believing"...

Here is our friend Tim jamming with this years winner Kris Allen.
Tim, is BY far the best guitarist we have ever known! Greatness!
Me with this years winner, Kris Allen. He was a really nice guy!

What a fun night for y'all! Wade & I watch American Idol, too. Never fear, you aren't the only "teeney-boopers" at heart! ;)

Yes, I love Todd's glasses. He can pull off that cool look so well. It totally works for him! He must have a really great stylist. Ha!
