Oh my goodness!!










Trina and I scored 13th row tickets...dead center on the floor an hour before the show to see Sara Evans and Josh Gracin in concert at the Puyallup Fair last night (9-11-08).........how can you turn down that kind of luck?!! WE DIDN'T!!! And so glad...it was a fabulous concert...one of the best I've seen at the Puyallup in a long time!!



Treen and I had to have a crusty pup and a pepsi to start off the evening! Josh is AMAZING!!!!!!! So entertaining and knows how to get a crowd excited for a show. He kept throwing all kinds of freebies into the audience...shirts, drum sticks...I had my hand on a shirt that was tossed, but a girl in the row before me got it...darn!! He has this new song he wrote about his wife that is the best song ever...not sure the name...Undeniable..or More than I deserve?Anyway,....It's a beautiful song!!
During his concert, he walked off stage while his band played for a bit, then all of a sudden he shows up in the grandstand...in this cool shirt and hat on backwards....and walks through the grandstand down on the floor to the stage....what a guy!!!

After his concert and before Sara came on, he signed autographs over where you can buy shirts. Trina and I contemplated waiting in a long line and missing Sara?! Hmmm...what to do, we went for it! There were people bunched everywhere, but I saw a break in the line near the front...so bold me, ...crowded in...actually I walked right up front. I guess it was to purchase shirts, but I just slid our tickets over and asked him to please sign them for us...and he gladly did. Just as I was about to get a photo with him this guy started freaking out about people butting in line...so I thought I'd had enough luck for one evening!!! ~wink...so we snapped a couple of shots of just him!

They gave away a purple mustang to one of the purple heart recipients in the millitary, and Josh just pulls out the keys and ho hummed a little, then threw the keys out to one of the 12 who had been on the stage as a recipient!! TOOOOO cool!! His wife started crying.....beautiful car...to a well deserved man!!

Sara was incredible as well...but we decided that Josh was funner to watch (couldn't be that he is gorgeous?!) Soon to be Father of 4 ...but we love both their songs...so that was only our opinion. She sang alot of my favorites...Coal Mine, Born to fly, I keep looking, Suds in the bucket, plus many more, and "I could not ask for more" as her last song. She's tiny and adorable...has to be to wear white pants on stage I'd say! Pretty cool that her two Sisters are her back up singers, and her brother plays the acustic guitar!! She has 7 siblings!

So much fun....I love these guys!!

Check out the video.
