Love is in the air!

This past week was a total blast!  My hunny and I got to go to two concerts and a wedding, and then had the surprise of having a day together, just the two of us.

I'll be blogging about the 2nd concert a little later (when I have the pictures actually with me!) and I've already blogged about the first (Genesis...awesome), so I will share the wedding pictures that I have. 

In actuality, my Hunny and I only made it to the reception, due to work obligations (ick!), but wow, it was amazing.  This was for my mom's cousin Angie and her new groom Curtiss.  The Reception was amazing.  It was onboard a ferry that is docked in Stockton, CA.  Her colors were lavender, white and silver, and they spared no expense during the evening. 

We had a delicious meal that started with a yummy salad, followed by a family style meal of tri-tip, stuffed chicken breast, pasta, roasted veggies and roasted potatoes.  Wow, yum-o!

I got to visit with family I hadn't seen in years, and my hunny got to meet a bunch of the McCoy clan (mom's side of family).

After the meal, the dancing began, something I usually watch from afar, but my hunny got me to dance for the very first time in my life (yes, I was a 31 year old Dancing virgin...oh my!...I guess I was just waiting for the right guy....AWWWwwww!).  He even got mom and dad on the floor, too...I've never seen them dance, either. 

It was a very special evening.  The bride and groom were adorable and so sweet.  We all enjoyed ourselves, very much.  We capped the evening off with a round of "Self Portrait" shots of my hunny and I, which I have tacked on to the end of the slide show below!

It really was a very special week!

Another concert, another amazing night!

Last night was the concert we have been waiting since March to go to.  I have even had the tickets since then, and trust me, even though this year has been flying by, it has been a LONG time in getting here, but well worth the wait. 

One of my hunny's favorite singers is Phil Collins, so when we heard that Genesis was going to be coming to San Jose, I knew what would be a perfect birthday gift for my hunny. 

I know of Phil Collins and Genesis, but I am constantly saying "Oh, THEY sing that?" and wow, last night was an amazing display of just how many great songs they actually sing!  I'm hooked!  They performed many of their songs and some of Phil Collin's, as well, and let me tell you, I have never been to a show like that.  Actually, I realized that this was my first "Non-country" concert I'd been to, and there is quite a difference...from the start, even, there aren't cowboy hats, boots and wrangles in sight ANYwhere!  Weird!  LOL! 

All I keep saying is "WOW!".  My hunny enjoyed the show immensely, and was kinda even speechless when I asked him what he thought of it.  Phil Collins and the drummer Chester Thompson "Brought it on" with an amazing drum spot that lasted at least ten minutes.  I gotta give it to them, the show was non-stop action.  I don't know how they all did it, just kept right on going without any breaks!  They literally ROCKED the joint!  I loved it!

Since I wasn't able to take any pictures (BOO!) I have added a YouTube link of one of my favorite songs that was sung!  Hope you enjoy!
