Houston Rodeo

A friend I used to work with called me up and said she had 4 extra tickets to the Houston Rodeo and asked if I would like them. For those of you who are not familiar with the Houston Rodeo, it is kind of a big deal. When I moved here (almost 10 years ago!!) I had no idea what all the fuss was about and then I was informed that the rodeo is just the beginning of the madness. After the bull riding and barrel racing there is a concert put on in the middle of the arena. It is not a full blown 2 hour show but still a good concert nonetheless. AND the world's biggest artists come to play.....Janet Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, Beyonce, Kiss, Kid Rock, to name a few. Our tickets were for Rascal Flats and I was pretty excited because 1.) I had never heard them live before, 2.)It was a chance for me and J to have a FREE date night while Nana and Popo watched C 3.) Our tickets were for the 4th ROW! sweet!! 4.) And of course a chance to watch the world's best cowboys ride buckin' broncos and gnarly bulls! The rodeo was a blast, we had LOTS of fun and Rascal Flatts were amazing. They sound just like their cd's (a rarity these days) and I just love their harmonies. They put on a great show. We decided to forgo the gigantic carnival and head home to pic up our little man. It was a great evening and I am so happy me and J were able to have some "us" time!
