TOBY KEITH MEET AND GREET CONCERT AND RASCAL FLATTS CONCERT

So I turned 33 in the end of June and seriously had the best birthday ever (see previous post if you missed) one of my presents was a ticket to Rascal Flatts who I LOVE!! My friend from church Barb had bought a 4 pack deal for the concert and asked us if we wanted to buy the 4th ticket and go, I was THRILLED!!! I have always wanted to see them in concert and I have only been to 2 concerts in my life, once when I was about 16 my dad let me go see a Bonjovi concert with my best friend for my birthday and then Josh took me to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert on my birthday when I was pregnant with Justin. I decided I was going to stop and get a WQMX send me backstage tshirt to wear with great hopes we would get picked to go back and meet them. Well we didn't but had an absolute blast at the concert, they were AWESOME!!! I got some great pictures! Later I saw on WQMXS facebook page they were doing a contest to win Toby Keith tickets. You had to submit a photo of you wearing your send me backstage tshirts and they would pick 2 pictures to wint the Loaded Prize Package, I entered in a picture from the Rascal Flatts concert and didn't think anything about it because I never win anything! WELL I WON!!! I couldn't believe it and am still GIDDY over the whole thing. I WON 2 TICKETS for the concert dead center stage 24th row, 2 MEET AND GREET PASSES to go back and actually MEET TOBY AND GET OUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH HIM AND HIS AUTOGRAPH, and a $50 DOLLAR COIN to spend at the concert on Toby gear. The first picture is my new FAVORITE picture, its getting printed in an 8x10 and going in a frame on the wall!!!! The whole experience was SO AMAZING!! my heart was fluttering so fast, Josh said that I had looked like I had just won the lottery! In my eyes I did, I used to LOVE Toby when I was in high school and was die hard country at the time. He has been around a long time and looks the same, he was very nice and shook our hands and said hey buddy to Josh, I had given the security guy next to Toby my purse to hold on to while we got our picture taken, and I was on cloud 9 that I totally started walking away and forgot my purse. Toby leaned forward and said to me "Dont forget your purse and smiled" it was just awesome. We had special passes we had to wear that night, I felt all big and important :)



My cute shirt I got with my 50 dollar coin, I love sports so I liked that this looked like a jersey and it says toby keith on the back. I also got daniel and natilie each a keychain
Eric Church was his opening act, he was also AWESOME!! I had never heard of him, but his voice, music and songs were awesome not to mention that he was a GREAT performer and was ALL INTO THE CROWD, Josh doesn't like country but even he liked Eric Church
We met Toby around 8:30, we had to wait in a waiting area and then they took us back behind the stage down these long steps and into a little building where we waited in a room, here is when he just walked out, Josh was trying to take the picture since he was taller and could see over people's heads, its not the best, but its still him! :)












Toby was AMAZING, and I had so much fun. I have been so lucky and blessed to have such a fun last month, I have never had so many fun things to do ever!!
This is the shirt I bought from Rascal Flatts, I LOVE this song, I Won't Let Go
This was the picture that was taken at Rascal Flatts that I entered that won me the Toby Keith contest
Having some fun
When they first came out, the stage was awesome!
