Greatest Night of My Life

Again, no exaggeration, the McCartney concert was the greatest night of my life. It was filled with joy, gratefulness and emotion. Thirty-five songs, new and old favorites, including a Buddy Holly cover he only played because it's Texas. I teared up when he came out on stage, tears slowly rolled down my cheeks during "The Long and Winding Road", followed by a steadier stream during "My Love" and "Here Today". And then when he played "Calico Skies" I was a sobbing mess, holding on tight to Josh's hand. I will never, never, for-as-long-as-I-live-and-breath, forget seeing Paul McCartney sing the song that I walked down the aisle to. It's transcribed deep within my heart.

Saved

Tonight we're going to see Paul McCartney. There is no possible way I could express my excitement and anticipation through a little blog post. I often say The Beatles saved my life, and people probably think I'm being silly or over dramatic. But I'm not. When I was 14 I fell into a big pit of despair. That was my first episode of depression, and it was terrifying. To be 14 and think that you're losing your mind is a very scary experience. I stopped going to school, cut myself off from all my friends, didn't do, or care, about anything. And it was like that for months and months. But in the fall of 1996 The Beatles Anthology came on television. I had loved The Beatles as a kid, but they had somehow slipped out of my head as I grew older. But now I remembered how much I had loved them, and I had something to care about again. I listened to the music endlessly, watched their movies repeatedly, and read every book about them I could get my hands on. They really were a net that caught me in my free fall. And through the years they've continued to buck me up. And tonight I get to stand with my husband and my best friends and see Paul McCartney.

Dudesssss

I'm kind of beyond excited. I just got ordered our tickets to see Paul McCartney in 1 months time. Oh man, can't wait.

Our First Anniversary

Yesterday was our first anniversary! We've been having lots of fun just spending some quality time together. Tonight we're going to our friends Rob & LeAnn's house to celebrate our joint anniversaries, since theirs is October 1st. I walked down the aisle to this Paul McCartney song, "Calico Skies".

Macca Attack

I am so glad that I can finally like Paul McCartney again. He and I, well, we were kinda on the outs. I've been mad at him ever since he married her. But now that they've split up I've been able to forgive him, to some degree. And the single from his new album helps me forgive him even more, because he certainly seems to be in fine form. I saw the iTunes video while blog surfing, which made me want to see the original video, shot by Michel Gondry. It's so nice to be friends again.
