Rachel and I had the chance to go see Celine Dion for free on the 13th of January at the Sommet Center in Nashville and it was AMAZING!! I know most of you are laughing at us right now - but let me just remind you that they didn't give her a show in Vegas for nothing! I got the tickets because a girl that I worked with had them and got sick(so sad!) and didn't get to go. Some of the tickets sold for hundreds of dollars and our seats were nosebleed(FOR FREE - thanks AMY!), and it was so worth it! Believe it or not, I have always been a huge Celine Dion fan and since Rachel shared an upstairs with me at Mom's when I was loving some Celine in high school it surprised her how many songs she new that we could sing to at the top of our lungs. I am so glad that Rachel talked me into going(surprising, huh?). I was hesitant because I knew we would be out late, I would be tired the next day and I had to pack for a cruise but Rachel talked me into it. She just simply said,"You will remember this concert 5 years from now and you may never have the opportunity to see Celine ever again, but will you remember packing for a cruise?" - ok SOLD! I came to Rachel's house with all my Celine Dion cds and we warmed up on the way down there to get pumped up and ready to go.
The show was very fast paced and entertaining with lots of dancing, outfit changes - the works.
And let me just tell you - Celine Dion is HOT!! She has the most amazing legs and was dancing around in 5 inch stilettos like a champ! Her clothes were just fabulous, too!
Most of you probably think she only has the Titanic song but she has so many more that are fast and fun, which kept the concert going. She sang one song acapella and her voice was just fascinating to listen to. It sounds even better than it does on her cds. Now, we weren't serious loving on Celine the whole time because we totally cracked up when she came back out for the 2nd Encore with "My Heart Will Go On" with the clips from Titanic!
I will say Chris was pretty pumped that he wasn't there because he was in Knoxville with Don at the UK vs UT game that they got free tickets to go see. That was the night that Jodie Meeks ran up the score and played the best game ever. So - while I am watching Celine Chris was texting me the scores, plays, and every little thing that happened! YAY! GO WILDCATS!
I was so glad that he and I both got to have a night to enjoy our family and do something totally out of our element. I suggest you do the same sometime!
