Cowboy Rides Away...

So, my friend Crissy is a hair dresser, and she has this AMAZING client that can hook her up with tickets to pretty much any concert she would like.  So, she asked for some George Strait tickets, and can I just say he HOOKED her up!  And we are so fortuate that she chose us to go with her.  And let me tell you it just wasn't any George Strait concert, it was his FINAL concert in Dallas at Cowboy's Stadium!  There was an amazing lineup, and he started singing at 7 PM in Cowboy Stadium (I don't like the Cowboys, but their stadium is awesome), and didn't finish until around 11:00 or 11:30.  When I say he put on a show, he put on a show!!!!
 
First things first...we stopped on the way down to Dallas and saw the Murphys.  It was wonderful to get to see them and spend some time with them even if it was only over lunch.  We had some really good BBQ, and conversation with our sweet friends.  Man we miss them!
 

Then it was off to the hotel to get ready for the concert...
 
Here we are at arrival!  We had no idea how great this concert was actually going to be I don't think.  One of the BEST concerts I have ever been to!




This was him when he came out...he was so happy the whole time, and just put on a great show!  Asleep at the Wheel opened for him that night.  Then George came out and would sing 2 songs by himself, and then bring out "special" friends to sing with him.  He had several artists that had opened for him throughout the year sing one of their favorites with him, as well as, one that he would pick!  What an amazing tribute to a wonderful singer!
 He definitely put on a great show, and I was so excited to be a part of this. It also set the record for the most people at one time at a concert.  There were over 100K people there...WOW!!!!
Thanks Crissy and Ryan for including Chris and I on this amazing concert!
