I'll start with the concert... SO MUCH FUN! The 11 of us plus our awesome driver met in Cartersville and headed to ATL. Traffic wasn't too bad until right around the Arena...but we got a decent parking space and went on to eat at the CNN Center. My friend and I had tickets separate from the rest of the group so after eating we went on to our seats. Daughtry had started playing and played a great set. I like his songs I've heard, but we don't watch American Idol, so not a crazed Daughtry fan like others we saw! I just saw on his site that his last stop with Bon Jovi was the ATL shows so I guess we are lucky to have seen him.
On a side note, I have to add a few antics that happened with my friend (who is adorably pregnant).... she thought Daughtry was about to play the trumpet at one point.. nope, just a megaphone. Then she thought Richie Sambora was Jon Bon Jovi's brother. :) Then it was my turn... like I said I'm not a huge Daughtry fan and when he played they did not use the jumbo screen and I really had no clue what he looks like. So then some guy comes out and starts singing with Jon... I had to ask, 'Who is that??' It was Chris Daughtry of course... well now I know what he looks like, lol. They sang AWESOME together! I did not get any pictures at the concert but some of the others did, hope to get a copy of them soon.
A huge thanks to Becky for getting the van and driver, to Tracy for being a great hostess, and to my friend Amber, for just being you!!
Here's a picture Victoria took while I was getting ready and one of me and Amber on the way to the concert.
So then the next day, up at 6am, worked at the shop and got home just before the bus, then off to teach that night, home at 9:30pm.... long day!
In the mean time, a friend had called earlier in the week to see if I would want to work with her at a catering job over the weekend. We got it worked out so the kids were taken care of. So I worked 5 hours Friday and then 5 more Saturday helping prepare a dinner for 225 people at a dinner theatre. Unfortunately I missed a get together with my family for my brother's birthday, but I did come home with a bit of $$.
Sunday was a meeting about upcoming events at Betty's Back Porch and yesterday was deciding that we are going to have to spend about $600 to get the transmission on the truck worked on, yikes!! But thanks to the Money Makeover that we've been working on, we will have the money for it. Woo hoo for us!
Saturday morning, hubby was working our little garden and getting it ready to plant later that day.... some storms were rolling in and the clouds were SO COOL!! I had to grab the camera and get a shot! They were smooth and curly and moving very fast. We did get some rain a bit later and soccer was canceled but the garden was planted that afternoon.
Jenn, do these have a certain name? A friend also saw them and her son just finished a weather unit in school, he was very curious about them.
And here's a cute shot of the boy.

Did I mention that Daughtry touched me??? Did they Sing "Dead or Alive" together??? AWESOME! I am so jealous.
The clouds look like stratocumulus with some possible mammatus-like clouds, mostly just a heavily sheared convection.
Sounds like an awesome night at the concert!!!! So jealous!!
