Excuse me??

So, like I said before, my husband's birthday was Tuesday.  He says thank you for all the birthday wishes by the way ;)  I really wanted to get him something great for a couple of reasons.  
1.  He is awesome....
2.  He pretty much hates the holidays and, since his birthday is so close to them, it gets hated by association.  
3.  He gets super down, depressed, sad, blue, agitated, irritable (and any other synonym) during the winter.  Something to do with the cold and gray days....
4.  He is awesome...did I already mention that?

I set out to find the perfect surprise for him.  I thought about taking him on a little trip.  Had to throw that one out the window because I can't leave our child over night and I don't see me getting over that anytime soon.  I thought about buying him something great.  That was thrown out because he doesn't really like things...

As I was pondering this, a wonderful song came on the radio.  That song was Margaritaville.  It hit me!!!!  I could take him to see Jimmy Buffett!!!  He LOVES Buffett and has mentioned multiple times that he wanted to go see him.  I remembered hearing that he was touring so I went online to look and see where.

Enter sad face.....He wasn't coming anywhere close to here and I'm sooo not ready to leave Blakely and fly to Florida to see JB.  :(((((

BUT, while on Ticket.master I saw that the Zac Brown Band WAS coming somewhere close to here!!!  He LOVES them too.  So I bought us tickets to go see Zac Brown Band on March 10.  I am so excited and he was very excited too.  He told me it was the perfect birthday present.  I thought so too because now he will have something to look forward to during these dreary months.

Then this morning the most amazing thing happened....

Jimmy Buffett announced a few more concert dates and one of them is just an hour away from us!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me???  How crazy is that??  SOOOOO we will most definitely be buying tickets for that one when they go on sale next week.  I'm thinking that can be his present to me since my birthday is in March...my 30th birthday by the way! 

Didn't that all work out so well?
2012 rocks so far :)

Now, if only I can get Blakely to take a damn bottle by then....what is up with this girl???

  5. I bought myself Buffett tickets for my birthday last year. Had it not been early May and FREEZING, it would have been awesome. As it was, it was still pretty cool. Have fun!
