A weekend to Remember…

So as most of you know Martin took me to Dallas for a Muse/U2 concert about a week ago.  I can absolutely say that I had one of the best times ever!!!  The first night we got there we went to P.F. Changs and since we only had breakfast that day we were pretty hungry.  We watched families walk in and out and as we waited our “30″ minutes we noticed that more families were leaving because the wait was “too long.”  Right then we appreciated the moment because that would have been us if we had our child but thankfully we were blessed with family… We giggled at the families that freaked out over the long wait and we were very grateful that we were able to wait.  We got back to the hotel and well CRASHED!! We were out after 10 minutes of watching T.V.  Saturday we woke up, had breakfast at the hotel, and went to Six Flags.  The very first ride we got on was the Superman…(ya know the one that raises you and drops you in like 4 seconds.)  I have never heard so much screaming coming out of a certain somebody…  Well after that we continued on all the fun crazy fast rides.  Again we were thankful to God because the weather was a little chilly so there were absolutely no lines on any ride.  We left around 3 to go have a late lunch with Martin’s Aunt that lives in Grand Prairie and they took us to Macarroni Grill.  It was so yummy!  After we went to… THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!! (The highlight of my trip)  I enjoyed (and I truely mean everyword of that) a delicious piece of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake while Martin had a peice of Red Velvet Cheesecake.  It was oh so amazing!  We went back to Six Flags around 9:00ish to go to the Haunted house and well it was very…haunted… and scary.  The line was very long and the longer I waited the more I wanted to pee my pants!!  I held on to Martin the entire time and I screamed every chance I got because I knew there was something scary around every corner.  Martin was laughing so hard at me… We got back to the hotel and got dressed and well here’s where the story gets FUN!!!

Saturday Night:  We go to downtown Dallas and made a stop at the Lizard Lounge.  We walked in and all I hear is Techno music.  Martin gets me my favorite drink (crown and coke) and we walk into the first room.  All I see are the colorful lights that people are holding in there hands and raving to… So my first thought is RAVE?? Well we go into the next room….. and well… there were girls with bikinis on and furry boots that went to the knees.  There was also one girl that had her breast hanging out and had black X’s over the nipple… I told Martin I was better off wearing my underwear in there… Well needless to say we ended up staying longer than planned because Martin kept getting me my favorite drink!  After about an hour I was having a blast and dancing along all the druggies. (I’m about 95% sure that around 70% of the people in there were on acid.)  So we end up leaving and going to Primo’s for a late night bite and we had some AMAZING food but then again I also had 4 or 5 of my favorite drinks so Im not sure if it was as good as I thought it was.  Well anyways we got home around 3ish I think?  We woke up around 11 on Sunday and we took a little bit to get up and going but once we did we were good to go.  We went to Grapevine Mills and enjoyed ourselves very much while we walked around and talked the entire time.   Martin bought me a pink Peyton Manning  jersey for the game Sunday night.  It is sooo cute and glittery.  We went to Dave and Buster’s for the game and we had such a wonderful time.

Monday: So while we were there I got bit by a spider 3 times on my right leg.  2 were on my upper thigh and 1 was on my calf.  Well when we got home Sunday night there were ants in our bed and all over the floor so that was my limit since I hadnt said anything about the spider.  We had to move rooms but it was all taken care of for us.  So Monday when I woke up my leg was hurting and I was in pain but I knew it was a VERY big day for us.  So we went to eat close by the stadium and after eating we “OOHED” and “AHHED” at the stadium for about an hour or so.  We stood in line from about 1:45 to about 5ish. Once the line started moving my heart started pounding and I knew my moment was coming.  The entry in to the floor was… crazy… all the turns and on every turn there was security guard guiding everying and telling them “NOOOOO RUNNING!!!” So we didnt run… we power walked… We were about 35 feet away from the main stage and about 5 feet from the second stage.  At 7 I almost cried because Muse wasnt on stage yet and I was just waiting for someone to come out and say they couldnt make it… 7:10….7:15…7:25…7:3o… the light go out…I almost couldnt breathe and then on the big screen they start flashing MUSE… over and over again.  And then……… they come out and start singing Uprising… What was even worse was that every song they sang for the next 45 minutes I knew… I sang along to everysong as loud as I possibly could.  When they started Starlight I almost lost it.  Martin kept smiling at me but I know deep down he wanted to sing along to ;) .  The last song they sang was  Time is Running Out and when that song was over I almost cried… They walked off the stage and I was the most depressed girl in the world at that moment.  We waited for U2 to come on and well… THEY WERE BADA**!! I can honestly say that I never been much of a U2 fan but at that moment they were my 3rd favorite band.  Bono was very much into every song he sang and you could just feel his energy and man… he was just awesome.  He walked in front of us and he was so close you could see his sweat.  It was such an amazing night and I would NEVER trade it for anything.   It was by far the best birthday EVER!
