This scary looking guy is Ronnie Dunn from Brooks & Dunn. He was the last singer & his wife came out afterward with her purse on her arm & a drink in her hand & talked to us for a bit. I think she had a bit too much to drink!
Okay, funny story about my pink skirt in the below picture. Every year we have a formal night & it's always a hassle finding a modest, not dressy but not too casual dress. This year I found a Kimono type dress for $12. I didn't love it but hey, it was $12! The night before I flew out, I went to Provo Towne & while I was there decided to look in this one store for fun. I ended up really liking this skirt & decided to buy it, after MUCH thought, since I really wasn't in love with the $12 dress. I didn't tell Jared though. So I roomed with 4 other girls & one of the girls had my $12 dress. But don't worry, I had my pink skirt that I bought at the last minute!! I found a cute shirt to go with it at the outlet mall by our hotel.
This is the African Children's Choir & they were amazing! All the kids have either lost one or both parents & come from low income families. It's a really neat story! Such cute & talented kids!
Our last night there we went to the Grand Ole Opry & Garth Brooks put on a private concert for us. For some reasons, we got to sit on the very front & center row!
Before the concert we were able to go into a room & meet Garth & get a group picture with him. It's weird because he just feels like some some old country guy that I could've grown up with. He's very friendly & down to earth.
He had us laughing all night & he even sang one of "Ms. Yearwood's" songs and at the end said, "I never thought I would stoop so low to sing someone else's song."

I am so jealous. I wish my work took us on vacations like that. Thanks for the phone call while you were at Garth's concert. Looks like Nashville was a lot of fun.
That looks like soooo much fun. I've been to the Wild Horse and Grand Ole Opry too, but we went to the Saloon during the day, so no one was singing. I got to go learn a line dance though. Dorian and Angie lived in Nashville for a little while and we got to visit. I really wish I would have got to see Garth Brooks though, I really like his music. Paden liked the Children's choir, he started singing and dancing and waved at the computer screen. Kids are so funny!!
