Private

OK, too many random comments from people we don't know. And, I tend to be a little protective of my kids, so we have decided to make our blog private. I know, I know, I can hear the growns now.....it just worries me a bit when I am getting comments from random people about random things, who knows who could be reading about my family! So anyway, if you would like to have access to our Christensen family blog, please either leave me a comment here with your email address so I can invite you, or email me at erinbeth1@hotmail.com , and I will add you to the list! Happy Blogging!! :)

Rascal Flatts!!!!!!!!

So, like many others have said before me, blogs tend to lean in the direction of "everything is perfect" land. :) I definitely don't believe that that reflects reality, and definitely not the reality of my family's life specifically. So, I have decided to write not only about the good and great of our lives, but also the not-so-greats as well. :) However, this is not the post to begin that trend.....this post is about RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!!!!
When I heard that Rascal Flatts were coming to town, I didn't waste a minute getting tickets to their concert. And once Teage heard that Darius Rucker was opening, he was just as excited about it as I was. What a combination!! And my mom was wonderful to offer to watch the boys for us for the night so we could make a great date out of it! We went into Tacoma early, got to go to dinner, rode the Light Rail to the Tacoma Dome, and watched an AMAZING concert!!!!!

Darius began the concert playing his old Hootie songs, as well as his new country flavor. :) He was amazing. We could tell that he was having so much fun with his new band, playing the songs that he loves so much.


Then came my favorite band, Rascal Flatts! They definitely put on a show!!! They played everything that I wanted to hear, except for 'Everyday'. But all of their songs were amazing. They all seem to have so much fun playing in front of a crowd, and even brought up a little girl to sing with them for one song. They were all singing, dancing, playing the piano, and having a ton of fun. It was such a wonderful concert! We had so much fun, were exhausted by the end from singing and dancing the whole time, and were so blessed to be able to stay in a fancy hotel without kids for a night (yeah for priceline!). And one of the most memorable parts of the evening, Darius came back out onto the stage at the very end of the concert and played 'Life is a Highway' with Rascal. It was so amazing to watch all four of them together!
