Team Celine!

I don't know how I get so lucky. Over a year ago, my aunt Cherilyn received two (very expensive) tickets to see the amazing Celine Dion in concert scheduled for last November. My Grandma was originally planning on going with Cherilyn and I was so jealous...and may have let it show too much. When the time of the concert finally rolled around, Cherilyn and my grandma were disappointed to find out that their concert was being rescheduled. It was rescheduled for yesterday. My grandma changed her mind about wanting to go and asked me if I would take her ticket. I was so stoked! We were getting a little nervous because as the concert drew nearer, we weren't sure if Cherilyn would be able to go. She's just passing up the first trimester of her pregnancy and has NOT had it easy. The day of the concert, she knew she would not be able to go. After my long and drawn-out efforts to sell the tickets so Cherilyn could have her birthday present, my grandma told me to just find someone to go with. I immediately thought of my sister, Carly!

I was a bit nervous because I'm 8 months pregnant. I wasn't sure how this would go. Once we got there, I was immediately relieved of those nerves, considering that just about every other person was pregnant! It was kind of entertaining! Even though I was extremely uncomfortable the entire time, I loved every minute of it! I have always been a huge fan of Celine Dion. My very first concert I went to was in 6th grade and Celine Dion opened for Michael Bolton. Of course, I was only there for Celine. Since then, I have purchased all but a few of her CD's and know just about every song! Last night, I went from being worn out and drained of energy from walking up all the stairs to the Energy Solutions Arena to literally squealing when Celine finally came out on stage. I forgot how much I love her! Our seats were so perfect because they were on the front row of the upper bowl. What this meant was that we could belt out the songs as loud as we wanted because nobody was in front of us! During her concert, I realized what my dream job would be...I want to be a back-up singer for Celine Dion. I'm not really sure who to thank for this amazing experience...Cherilyn or my grandma. I had an amazing time and it was so nice to get out and so something for myself just before my little Eva comes.
