Camping at Prince Gallitzin State Park

This weekend, I went home to spend some time camping with my family. It was a wonderful weekend. I got to go fishing with Ryan and eat some good food. We fished with an old friend of the family (Bob Miller) and caught a good many fish. Ryan waded out with no shoes on up to his chest. I wore my hip boots, but also went a bit far, because I got over an inch of water down in them... haha. What great times with my best friend...

Baseball and Softball Games

While I was home this past weekend, I got to watch the boys play ball. They did really well. Ryan had a hit during the baseball game that was almost 400 yards with a wooden bat! What a man I tell ya!!! I miss playing ball, but I am glad they still have the opportunity to do so.

Bryan Adams and Def Leppard Concert!!!



Last night, I was that happiest woman alive! Why... because I finally had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams in concert! I was in "Heaven" making a "Night To Remember" at the Bryan Adams and Def Leppard concert. So "Pour Some Sugar On Me," because "There Will Never Be Another Tonight"!!!!!

Def Leppard (
http://www.defleppard.com/home.html) opened the show after some warmup music by Randy Coleman (http://randycoleman.net/). They put on a spectacular show, playing all of their famous songs. There playlist was as follows: Action, Let's Get Rocked, Woman, Foolin', Hysteria, Promises, No Matter What, Love Bites, Armageddon It, Rock On, Rocket, Photograph, Animal, Rock of Ages, Bringing on the Heart Break, and Pour Some Sugar On Me. They put on a spectacular show!

Bryan Adams (
http://bryanadams.com/onlineshop/Default.asp) followed Def Leppard, and blew me away. He is my favorite artist, and when he walked out on the stage, I cannot describe the feeling I had seeing him for the first time live. It was weird. I felt as if I knew him. It was everything I have ever imagined, and I cannot wait to see him again! His playlist was as follows: One Night Love Affair, Somebody, 18 til I Die, Can't Stop This Thing We Started, Kids Wanna Rock, Summer of ' 69, Back To You, Everything I Do, This Time, Cuts Like a Knife, When Your Gone, This Side of Paradise, Heaven, It's Only Love, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me, Run To You, Straight From the Heart, All For One, The Best of Me.



A picture of Bryan Adams and Me... kinda

Look at him rock out on the guitar

This is a pretty good action shot

Isn't he sooo cute?

Yet another picture of him playing the guitar

He is very talented

Bryan Adams and his fellow guitarist

For some of the softer songs, he put down the electric guitar and picked up the acoustic one

This boy asked his girlfriend to marry him during "Heaven," which is their song... how sweet!

He put down the guitar and just sang for a little

Pour Some Sugar On Me!!!

The crowd wants some sugar too!

The Drummer only has one arm, but he was so amazing to hear and watch!

That was a cool guitar... it looked like England's flag

Fourth of July (and Jules and Me)

When I got back from the beach Saturday, my family came back up to Buffalo with me. We did a lot of shopping and sight seeing. It was nice to spend time with them. I took Brooke to Build-A-Bear. That was a fun experience for her and everyone. Before a left for the beach, Julie and I went to Ryan and Brandon's softball game and also my church's Bible school picnic. It was nice to see her after what seemed to be forever. I hope to see her again soon.
