Spoiled Me

November 8, 2009

So, lately Jeremiah has been a bit nice. Very nice! Like “Jen just had a baby six weeks ago and is turning 30 in a matter of a few short days” nice. He is just feeling the need to spoil me a little and I don’t mind one bit!

For my birthday he bought me tickets to see the musical Wicked. Awesome!! And last Wednesday, he bought me tickets to go see my absolute favorite musical artist Joshua Radin. Mr Radin has passed our way a time or two before, but we weren’t able to make it to see him in concert. This time, we headed out to Lawrence to see him. Let me really paint a picture of Jeremiah’s generosity for you. First, we grew up in Missouri not far from Mizzou, but Friday found ourselves in the heart of Lawrence, home of the Jayhawks. I know, I know. Great sacrifice. Then, we get there to find ourselves surrounded by people almost 10 years younger than ourselves. Sure there were people there our age, but not many and not many fellas in the crowd either. A 20 year old girl standing behind me just kept yelling, “So hot right now! So hot right now!” when Joshua came out to play. And, another had tattooed some of his lyrics on her chest and proceeded to show him. Yep, classy girls. Then, tickets were General Admission, which meant I got to see the whole show from about 10 feet away (awesome!) but also meant that we had to stand the entire time. 3 hours of standing. And, while Jeremiah doesn’t dislike the type of music we were listening to, I think it is safe to say that folk rock (mostly love songs of course) isn’t his genre of choice. My man really took one for the team on Friday, but at the same time, made my month. It is something I will remember for a long time and made me love him even more. So, while every other 20 something was swooning over Josh, I was swooning over my husband and what he did for me that night. It was a perfect date night for me and almost made me forget about that number starting with a “3″ that is so quickly sneaking up on me. In the words of Joshua Radin (who else would I quote here),
“You looked right through me
When there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself
Today… today”

Here are a few pictures!

I am SO EXCITED! Jeremiah is too. That is how he looks when he is thrilled! No seriously.
