So, this has to be the luckiest time in our lives... I say that only because we have received free tickets twice to two very expensive concerts: first, the Stadium of Fire and now, George Strait; not to mention the free 1/2 gallon of ice cream from Dryers! The story is funny to how we got these tickets. Like most of you know, I have to drive to Salt Lake every morning to go to my internship and since we don't have a CD player in our car, I listen to the morning shows on the radio. Kory and I are country fans and my favorite station right now is 101.5 "The Eagle" and this past week they have been doing 2 free George Strait ticket giveaways. What the contestant had to do after calling in was they had to complete the George Strait song that the DJs started- they would sing a line from ANY of his thousands of songs and you would have to finish it. I had tried calling a couple times in the past trying to win things but I have never gotten through-ever-and never thought I would. Haha But to my surprise last Tuesday morning I actually got through! The song that day was "Write This Down," and when I heard it I was like, "oh cool, I know that song," so I called. I got a busy signal initially but hung up and tried again anyway and it started ringing. By that time, some lady was on the line already answering; I stayed on the line anyway because it was ringing. Well, then I heard the lady get the answer incorrect and all of a sudden the DJ was talking to me! Haha I was shocked! Also because he was still talking on the radio at the time he answered my phone call (I didn't know this then but our conversation was about 15 seconds behind what was being said on the radio). So i turned the radio down and the DJ started singing the line again which was: "Write this down, take a little note, To remind you in case you didn't know. Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go. Baby, write this down..." and that was where I was supposed to pick up. So I start singing, "Take my words and read them every day. Keep them close by, don't you let them fade away, So you remember what I forgot to say. Baby, write this down." Funny thing was, I forgot part way through because I was still so excited to get through that I forgot the words. Ahh! Lucky for me, they just thought that I was hilarious because I was freaking out about forgetting the words when I really did know the song. After laughing at me, they decided to give me the tickets anyway. :) So that is how I won free George Strait tickets off the radio. Haha NEVER thought I would ever do that! After, hanging up the phone, I turned the radio back up and heard the end of our conversation. I heard my voice for a second, it was kinda weird... :)
The Concert itself was really fun and the King of Country was sweet to watch. We enjoyed the entertainment but probably more so because it was free. ;)
