Houston Rodeo

so, here's the dealio

last summer the husband and i went to the beach

for a little anniversary get-a-way

and it was uh-maw-zing

but what it made it so great

was making a couple of new friends 

{hi janean and monica!}

at the swim-up bar

who just happened to be on a
committee for the Houston Rodeo.

we kept in touch through facebook

{i love social networking!}

and when it came Rodeo time

they asked if we'd like some prime-time, cheapie tickets

for any of the nights

uhhh YES PLEASE!

and while checking out the entertainment line-up

my.heart.stopped.

why? 

because Reba McEntire was playing!

i tried not to get my hopes up

i mean, what were the chances?

 but the stars aligned and we got.the.hook.up

maybe not front row, but dang sure cheaper!

who doesn't love a good photobomb

singing Fancy

blurry, but those two ladies made the  night into awesome

despite it raining cats and dogs

we had a wonderful time

i got to see my aunt, uncle & cousins

{thanks again for keeping lillie!}

and we were snuck into member-only clubs

on the rodeo grounds

by these two amazing ladies!

Janean & Monica

so, thanks ladies for making this little country girl's dream come true!

we can't wait to do it again

and maybe this time

we won't get our knees bruised from sliding across the dance floor.

oh, who am i kidding?! you know we will!
