Now Playing: Day 2645-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)
Talking about pinching oneself!
I can't believe it! Physically, not only did I make the 3+ hour drive, but I finally got to see one of my all-time favorite bands in concert! JOURNEY! We even got a parking spot right in the front of the Ford Event Center! If everything could possibly go right for us this evening. It most certainly did!
My anxiety did spike once we entered the event center since I am not really used to crowds. Not anymore. I have a huge fear of large crowds and even worse, being stuck right smack in the middle of one! The concession stand lines were no better after taking 30 minutes just to make it to the front of the line. The bathrooms were even worse, but it didn't have anything to do with the band, but instead the coordination, or lack of, with the event center staff and personnel. We personally would never attend another concert at the Ford Event Center, but then again, I figured this would be my last concert. Mainly due to medical reasons and the huge effort it takes to coordinate and pull off such a huge feat! Personally, I am beyond proud of how well I not only handled the drive, but as well dealing with taking a slue of medication through out the entire day. Physically, I asked a lot from my tired body, but I made it!
I once again defied the odds... I realized my Journey!
JOURNEY!! YAYYYYY!!!
Talking about so many reasons to celebrate! So many reasons to celebrate life and all of the ups and downs that we both have endured... Together. There is no other human being on this planet that I would had enjoyed this journey with more, than my one and only best friend, comedic side kick, confidant, spontaneous jokester, up for anything... Hubby We just... Click! We not only sang our way to the concert, but as well laughed at quite a few happy and quite memorable moments that we have shared over the years. I was determined as ever to make it to the concert! If it wasn't for Eric continuing to cheer me on and always letting me know, "You got this!" I doubt that I would had pushed myself so hard. I can't begin to describe the feeling of truly having someone there for you. Having a soul mate and best friend there to lift you up when you feel at your most absolute worst. In such a short amount of time, we have endured a lifetime of struggles and an abundance of pain. Guess what? Here we are!
We made it through the JOURNEY! The next chapter can only get better from here! AMEN!
Thank you to those who helped make one hell of a Bucket List dream come true! The entire trip could had not gone any smoother nor could the drive had been anymore comfortable. The concert was everything that I could had ever imaged and then some! A picture perfect, once in a lifetime opportunity to cross off another item from my Bucket List.
Would I do it all over again? I most definitely would do it allllll over again!
No matter what we go through in life. We still are able not only to Dream a Little Dream, but to realize our dreams. Don't Stop Believin and never give up on your
JOURNEY~
