The Man, The Myth, The Legend - JUSTIN

It's rare that I am able to get out and do something wild anymore... my 9pm bedtime doesn't usually allow for it!  But a few weeks ago, Mackenzie and I (in a plan that was months in the making) set out on an amazing night - all to see our #1 favorite guy (aside from our husbands and sons, of course) - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

Ok, going to a concert, not that exciting for some of you... but trust me, we made the night into an adventure, and it was well worth the insanely tired day of teaching the next day :)  First, we stopped for drinks at Southern Hospitality (the restaurant that JT started in NYC - which I've been to twice already in NYC, because I'm that crazy - but partnered with Ryan Tedder of One Republic to open here in Denver) on the very small chance that Justin or his entourage might show up before the concert.  No dice (but we did have fun and also overheard that he was likely going after the concert, which was way too late for us, devoted as we are).

We then headed to the Pepsi Center.  Did we have tickets?  No.  But the night was going well so far so we pushed our luck... we got an amazing parking spot (for free), and I felt like maybe things would be going our way.  About 45 minutes later when we were still in the cold/snow outside with no tickets, I thought perhaps our luck had run out....

Until we finally scored some AMAZING - repeat, AMAZING - seats for about 1/5 their actual value.  All of that for only having to miss 4 songs!  In we went (you know, to Row 1, Seats 1&2) and the rest is history.  It was SO fun, we screamed, laughed, hugged, sang our hearts out... you know, all the things two 33 year old teeny boppers/moms would do.  My phone died about halfway through, so I didn't catch all my favorite songs on camera (nor much when he was right in front of us!  ugh), but here's a montage of a few videos I took and some pics - but don't be fooled, our seats were incredible and for 3 songs he was about 10 feet from us!  We swear we even made eye contact :-)  Did I mention that he played for 3 hours?  He's the REAL deal, folks.  Ah-mazing.

And Mackenzie texted me this picture the next morning - clearly he loved us too :)  It was such a great night - and we almost wanted to stalk him in Denver the next day since his wife is from CO and all... Kari - I know you saw her at dinner before Homecoming all those years ago - you should have befriended her then! :)  hehe
